Deep breath. Just because a robot conquered a Rubik Cube doesn't mean they're coming for us. Yet. https://t.co/qH7gcAQ4uo
OpenWhy Solving a Rubik's Cube Does Not Signal Robot Supremacy
OpenAI demonstrated a robotic arm successfully completing the puzzle. It didn't show the machine dropping the cube—or the 10,000 years of simulated training.
There’s also a disincentive for inventors of an algorithm to thoroughly compare its performance with others—only to find that their breakthrough is not what they thought it was.
“There’s a risk to comparing 𝘵𝘰𝘰 carefully.”
