this story is also a perfect example of what i call science news by press release - it is written almost entirely from a video designed to promote the work, and there is essentially no effort at moving beyond the video’s sound bites. for shame @washingtonposthttps://twitter.com/EnricoCoiera/status/1185386629684269058 …

Um. I don't get this. Solving the cube is trivial, we've had software to do that for decades. It probably wouldn't have occurred to the researchers that anyone would find that impressive. Being able to pick it up and manipulate it is the only interesting aspect of the video.
they framed the thing as "solving" the cube; it's no accident that the media picked up on that.

They said it requires "unprecedented dexterity and the ability to execute flawlessly or recover from mistakes". The wapo story mentions another group that *did* have an AI work out how to solve the cube from scratch. But that's less interesting than this.https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-019-0070-z …
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

They also claim that humans acquired manual dexterity through millions of years of evolution. Pure Darwinist BS to excuse the 13000 years of trial & error simulated learning. Truth is, we learn dexterity via observation and experimentation, the same way we learn everything else.
