Unveiling the Future of Prompt Engineering for Better AI Interactions #tech

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 I think in the next Google I/O we will have a surprise from Google in Robotics

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 im not gonna watch two women yap for almost an hour thanks

How about: ROBOTS <->REASONING<->THINKING<->ACTION(S)<-> <->REASONING<->ACTION(S)<->THINKING<-> <-> <->THINKING<->REASONING<->ACTION(S)<-> <->THINKING<->ACTION(S)<->REASONING<-> - 🙂 🪄

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 The pace of progress has been unbelievable, robotics has indeed come a long way

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 @grok can you clip this from the start to about 54 seconds in?

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 Fascinating topic! The leap from clunky bots to dexterous robots likely stems from advances in computer vision, AI-driven . Excited to hear how your team is pushing these boundaries – especially how ‘seeing’ and ‘understanding’ transforms into real-world manipulation.

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 Robots need human mums to show them around. Not bounding boxes or RL or simulations rather learn by experience in the real world. The LLM will do the brain work easily. Gemini is so close now - its exciting. (Well that's my ex-programmer's opinion anyhow)

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 Uma pergunta sincera vocês conseguem provar o que é real ou não? O problema é alguém usar essa tecnologia pra o mal, um exemplo: Um golpe imobiliário.

@FryRsquared @parada_car88104 "You've been listening to Google DeepMind." And you shouldn't, because this was just an advert for Gemini, which is nothing but an exercise in surveillence. DeepMind may well want to do something interesting, but ultimately they are owned by Google, which makes *you* the product.
