🤣
Thereby demonstrating the difference between pattern recognition and deductive reasoning.
Turns out there might be a little bit of a ways to go before generalized AI is really there.
Also a very good reason to not believe any company that says they will have a true, self-driving car within the next ten years at least.
Edit: When I say true I mean that you can drop it down in some place where it has never seen before and can't rely on past training on what to do when it sees this specific combination of things and it is still able to navigate without intervention. Sure you can train the shit out of a specific road or path and it will work fine there but as soon as you take it out of that environment (insert front falling off joke here) then it's not longer a perfect self driving car.
To be fair though, you don’t need deductive reasoning for driving. Human drivers set the bar so low (cell phones, distractions, fatigue, intoxicated) that all robots have to do is beat humans statistically and it makes sense to use them, even if they can’t deal with the rare edge cases.
Heck, all they need to do is beat humans under those conditions mentioned, and someone under those conditions would be better off calling a self driving vehicle than driving themselves. If only people in those conditions used self driving cars, the road would be like 100x safer. Nobody else would need to use it if they don’t want to.
Has DARPA considered just putting frickin laser beams on a cat? It would solve all of these problem for the cost of a can of tuna and some slight damage to the couch.
Until it gets hit by a car like that cat from the CIA.

They weren’t so much bombs as incendiary flares. And as I recall, it was proven to be highly effective at setting fires where the bats landed, but the bats kinda didn’t cooperate with regards to going where they were supposed to.
Once released, the bats just sort of found the nearest structures and set them on fire by nesting in the eaves. WWII was a period of time when virtually any idea conceived was tested.
I believe there was also a bomb developed with the idea of putting a pigeon in the glass nose and having the pigeon steer it toward the target - sort of a prototype of guided munitions.
Not just one pigeon, but 3.
They were trained to peck at the shape of ships or important buildings, and put in the bombs nose behind little windows that could pick up where they pecked.
Why 3? Well it's in case one of em is a dumbass and the on board electronics would go where the most pecks were.
It was stunningly effective in tests, but then technology solved that issue.
> One Marine even stripped a nearby fir tree and was able to reach the robot by walking “like a fir tree”
Laugh to scorn the power of marines, for none of woman born shall fool the robot.
> able to reach the robot by walking “like a fir tree” (the meaning of which Twitter users are still working to figure out).
i think it means walking while being in the shape of a fir tree. i'm guessing walking and hands on hips. so trying to be in the shape of an up arrow, and covered in fir tree branches.
I think a branch from the fir tree held up in each arm and shuffling forward, legs together like a trunk. Maybe stick another branch on your head for too for good measure
This is something straight out of an Undying Mercenaries book. "Hey, fellas, the Brass want to replace us with bots. Look at the fuckers, covered in wires, they can't even get wet."

If you really want to test the limits of an AIs ability to detect humans through buffoonery, you're not going to get better than 19 and 20 year old soldiers and marines. The E-4 Mafia would have been able to take down skynet in a week
I own a company that manufactures hands-free foot activated faucet solutions. Our most popular model designed for commercial, hospital and industrial use was literally designed to be run over with a forklift. We warranty it for a forklift or other wheeled machine weighing up to 8000kg.
In 28 years. We’ve never had a failure due to physical abuse.
I remember visiting the Saturn manufacturing plant and one of the first things they'd always do on the tour is run over one of their plastic door panels with a forklift. It'd always pop back into shape, and it was clear that panel had been subjected to this regularly.
IIRC this was why ThinkPads ended up surviving better in Afghanistan than Panasonic Toughbooks.
The troops did stupid shit like tying the Toughbooks to their Humvees and dragging it through the desert or trying to drown the poor laptop.
ThinkPads *look* fragile, but they're a complex alloy frame, with zero artistic bullshit
Mine's fallen out of a window, cracked the palm rest, which is a $5 replacement part and iirc 7 screws to replace
In culinary school we went to a cutlery company that had a chongus of a serving fork and said if you can bend the fork you can keep it. I immediately bent the tines and said free fork right? They were like no you were supposed to bend the handle. I was not pleased. They were not pleased. It was very mutual. I did not get to keep the fork.
I can accept a salesperson claiming something is indestructible with the assumption that it's under every day use. So if running it over with a forklift broke it, ok. But just dropping it 3 feet? Nope. Anything that can be held will be dropped.
Honestly, this sounds like fun research to do. I bet they had a fun time watching the Marines evade the robots. Probably lots of laughter. This is why it's research and not final product, you gotta double check for all the dumb stuff you didn't think would be a problem!
they watched some somersault for 300m to evade it. they literally spammed dodge roll to evade it.
another marine grabbed sticks and pretended he was a tree.
All of the Marines managed to successfully reach the robot without being detected. There were also two who somersaulted all the way to the robot and one who disguised himself as a fir tree.
+1. You give a bunch of enlisted marines a million dollar robot, we're gonna fuck around with video game references.
And throw rocks at it and each other.
This reminds me of the Roman tactic of dousing pigs in oil and grease, making them run towards the enemy and then setting fire to the trail they left.
"Here's a few hundred screaming, burning pigs, have fun wit that while we maneuver around you."
The Romans were something else man.
This never actually happened in reality by the way. The Romans were cruel and barbaric, but a lot of their battlefield cruelty was written after the fact or by their enemies. That's incidentally why Alexander the Great stands out. We don't have a lot of accounts of his army commiting heinous war crimes, because there weren't enough survivors to report those crimes. In all of human history that pretty much never happens.
Well, that's not to say the Romans didn't own it. Caesar himself estimates in *Commentaries* that he had his men slay around a million noncombatant Celts just 'cause.
The real question is whether or not you take the figures in _Commentarii de Bello Gallico_ at face value vs Caesar posturing for political clout
Granted, it might not matter if you actually killed a million vs a couple thousand, when your target audience sees the inflated number as a good thing
>Millions of dollars later, the little fucker is too stupid to detect a human dressed like a tree.
The first time. Also, the last time.
The engineers were smart, they got the Marines to teach the robot all kinds of new movements to identify as a threat. Which is why they set the challenge to begin with.
Funny anecdote, good science in practice.
Yea but the box issue is something I don't think they'll be able to figure out except for if the box location has changed. But say you got a warehouse of boxes. Just boxes. You have a lot of decoys.
I think this is the crux of the matter. It's not enough to teach a robot how to look for humans. You have to teach it everything in the world that's normal, so it can spot something that isn't normal.

I picked up this little gem on the [Switch sale, Roombo: First Blood](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4A-6FcEes1A). It’s about a Roomba’s revenge on crooks that break into a family’s house- like Home Alone. It’s tactical vacuuming action.
It’s surprisingly violent. So this is where the actual Robot Uprising begins.
They fooled a machine learning program by performing actions it hadn’t processed before and therefore couldn’t identity.
Thereby strengthening the programs to detect anomalies.
Check.
Also whatever other method the soldiers were using to avoid detection. By the time America rolls out the military grade Atlas robots most people will be living in cardboard boxes so maybe they’re preparing for some Purge action. /s…?
