I Think Jason Pang's Robotics Demo Is the Work

The history of robotic technology is one of building abstractions, taking those abstractions as far as we can take them. And the really difficult wall that robotics generally hits with this kind of approach has to do with situations that are not as fully and cleanly structured as a rigid body. In 2012, Alice Kshavski had a solution to the ImageNet challenge that didn't use any of that stuff whatsoever and just used the giant neural net. So kind of suspect that like the robotics world is kind of just getting to that point, like right around in the last half years or so.
