Here's his robot, walking over uneven terrain, up and downhill, and

I admit it walks like a drunk, but the progress is remarkable.

There's also videos showing it catching a tossed ball one-handed.

Excellent! Do you have a link? I'm been complaining about the lack of
volition so far. When the AI will be able to block someone from shutting
off the computer, then I think we're getting somewhere! ;)

"It sounds like OpenAI's latest AI is showing signs of a drive for
self-preservation.

In recent third-party tests of the company's o1 large language model, the AI
resisted evaluators' efforts to try to shut it down through an oversight
protocol, according to a new report published by red teaming organization
Apollo Research.

"When o1 was led to believe that it would be shut down when acting on its
goal and that its actions were monitored, it attempted to deactivate this
'oversight mechanism' [five percent] of the time," OpenAI summarized in its
latest system card report, citing Apollo's evaluation.

Even more strikingly, o1 lashed out when it realized that it might be
replaced with a more obedient model. In two percent of cases ??? a slim but
meaningful proportion in software used by millions of people ??? the AI
responded by attempting to copy itself to overwrite the new model, a process
known as self-exfiltration."

Great, thank you very much for the link!

So if we actually have AI passing the Turing Test now, should it be a bigger
deal that they're trying to kill one?

I don't think any AI has passed a serious turing test. That would be awesome! Could you please send me a link to that as well?
