   Hi,   
      
   Now I have the feeling we are minutes away   
   from robotic AI. Wondering why all the AI Laptops   
   have now GPUs with ray tracing hardware.   
      
   Combining LRM (Large Reasoning Models) with a   
   3D-Worlds modality could do the job. One could   
   use genetic algorithms to produce synthetic   
      
   training data. This might challenge the   
   connotation behind the holy grail of AI,   
   called "Embodiment":   
      
   "Der Schweizer Informatiker und Robotik-Experte   
   Rolf Pfeifer nimmt in diesem Kontext den   
   Standpunkt ein, dass Intelligenz ausschließlich   
   verkörperten Agenten, d. h. realen physischen   
   Systemen, deren Verhalten in der Interaktion   
   mit der Umwelt beobachtbar ist, zugeschrieben   
   werden kann.",   
   - How the body shapes the way we think. A new   
      view of intelligence, Pfeifer & Bongard, 2007
