Has SV tricked us into thinking that digital is enough and now pretends like digital agents are smart? Part 2 of my conversation with "The Internet is Crack". I also cover 3 hurdles to humanoid robots and argue that humans are too awesome to be replaced. youtube.com/watch?v=2lSWxHdC…
Are we building better machines or just more tempting illusions? 🤖
On "The Internet is Crack" podcast, I discuss the insidious design of AI and why humanoid robots are more sci-fi fantasy than sound engineering. (Part I / II) youtube.com/watch?v=wyWMdh7i…
I shared some thoughts with @RachylJones for her @semafor article "Humanizing the machines: Companies design robots to look friendlier" semafor.com/article/02/04/20…
For the love of god, can robotics companies please stop demoing their robots making coffee?
e.g., physicalintelligence.company…
You have no idea how privileged and detached this looks.
Also: coffee making is not a technologically unsolved problem anyone should be working on.
The new Cornell Design Tech department in collaboration with Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is looking for exceptional and truly interdisciplinary faculty candidates. If that is you, please apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/j…
or contact me for more details!
I told @THR that AI is by definition conservative and therefore can't be truly funny. Why?
All Supervised Learning does, including your ML model-du-jour, is "average" the past to imagine the present, and that's literally what being conservative means.

Sad and ironic to see how the organizers of @theofficialacm @FAccTConference (with "Fairness" in its very name) are unwilling to accommodate the schedules of mothers of young children, forcing them to make impossible choices between childcare and career.
I am sure we will see the usual performative concern about why there are so few women in computer science. This is why. #WomenInTech
Ever wondered why social #robots look the way they do? #design
So happy to announce a new chapter written by Belinda Dunstan and myself.
I've wanted to write about this stuff for a long time, and loved working on it with Belinda during my Sabbatical.

What are the odds... I published an opinion post with almost exactly the same title on the same morning: write.guyhoffman.com/why-i-d…
I’m not worried about my students using ChatGPT, Lawrence Shapiro writes in a guest opinion wapo.st/3leTPeC
With all of the GPT talk about "the death of writing", can anyone agree with me that we should not care?

תודה לכרמל ווייסמן על אחת השיחות המעניינות שניהלתי לאחרונה על המחקר שלי. אני גם מאד אוהב את הכותרת, ומתכוון לגנוב אותה לכל ההרצאות שלי בנושא!
פרק חדש: ברובוטים האינטראקציה חשובה יותר מהאינטליגנציה. @guyhoffman מביא לרובוטיקה שיעורים מעולמות האנימציה והמשחק, תכנן את שחקן התיאטרון הרובוטי הראשון, רובוט שמאלתר ג'אז בזמן אמת וגם "נהנה" מהמוזיקה, וחקר את ההשפעות הפסיכולוגיות שיש לרובוטים על בני אדם

One of the most interesting and entertaining podcast interviews I've heard in a while. @davekarpf on @techwontsaveus: techwontsave.us/episode/139_…
Watching the @Meta #metaconnect2022 summary, I am so happy that human civilization has finally (again) reached the point that I tap the side of my glasses, and music will start playing.
