Reply to comment by ArnoF7 in [D] To the ML researchers and practitioners here, do you worry about AI safety/alignment of the type Eliezer Yudkowsky describes? by SchmidhuberDidIt

Are you familiar with

Yes, I am aware of the paper you linked, although I can’t say I am super familiar with the details.

This is very cool and solves some of the problems with robotics, but not a whole lot. Not discrediting the authors (especially Fei Xia, who I really admire as a robotics researcher. And of course Sergey Levine, who is probably my favorite), but the idea of fusing NLP and robotics to create a robot that can understand command and serve you is not super new. Even 10+ years ago there is this famous video from ROS developer Open Robotics (at the time it was still Willow Garage IIRC) in which they tell the robot to grab a bear and the robot will navigate the entire office and fetch it from the kitchen. Note that this is not the innovation these papers claim, (these papers are actually investigating a possibility instead of solving a problem) but I assume this is probably what everyone assumes to be the bottleneck of service robot, which in reality isn’t.

Yeah, GPT was the GPT moment of RL
