you are getting warmer, yes. it was certainly a seriously misleading piece for DRL, which is what they mostly work on. since they have become a private company, they stand to make money from that misrepresentation. isn’t that what hype is about?

it’s hard to see any obvious way in which the rubik’s demo is more impressive than the more flexible Google Brain Baoding demo that came out earlier in the month. what do you think
@beenwrekt?
if they showed that in some general way that wasn't one (pre-rigged) object, I could maybe sorta squint and see that point. but sim to real with one overlearned prerigged object is a joke. no respectable academic journal would buy that argument.

They do have unseen modifications e.g. finger tying. While it's just one object, I really hope you appreciate how hard this must have been to pull off. While I'm with you that the PR is a bit silly, this is a significant advance.

Indeed your last sentence is not far my original assessment, repeated above, that "[despite the other misrepresentations] system is (very impressively) trained to do the perception and manual dexterity parts." I do remain skeptical that demo w 1 prerigged object solves sim->real.

A human can learn to manipulate a Rubik's cube with one hand in a few seconds. I'm being cautious because it likely requires no learning at all. Goal-directed motor behavior learned as a child is good enough. It's hard to imagine a robot doing it with a DL+GOFAI hybrid brain.
