The Intelligence Delusion

I think We’ve been pursuing only half of intelligence for seventy years.

When Alan Turing proposed his famous test in 1950, he made a brilliant and practical choice. Faced with the impossible question of “what is consciousness?”, he focused on something measurable: could a machine engage in conversation sophisticated enough to fool a human judge? It was an elegant solution to a philosophical problem that had no clear answer.

Are Generalist AI Models the Future of Robot Learning?

If we can't deploy something useful to real world then what is the point of having this amazing AI technology at hand. This is my POV on Why I Believe AGI is the Unclear Goal (and Why Specialisation i

Are You Solving the Right Problem?

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I would like to take a moment and talk about the most important skill we, as engineers, must master which is understanding the problem before designing the solution. There’s a simple but powerful trut

Action Recognition in Robotics: Why It’s Not “Solved” Yet

If you’re an aspiring robotics engineer, you’ve probably dreamed of building robots that seamlessly interact with humans, understanding their actions, anticipating their needs, and working safely side

The Broken Code Advantage

The Broken Code Advantage

There’s a moment in every programmer’s career when they realize something counterintuitive: the people getting promoted aren’t the ones writing the most code. They’re the ones fixing it.

This seems backwards. We celebrate the architects of new systems, the builders of elegant APIs, the creators of innovative features. But if you watch closely, you’ll notice that the engineers who become indispensable, the ones who get pulled into the most important meetings, who get the urgent Slack messages, who somehow always seem to know what’s really going on, aren’t the prolific feature builders. They’re the debuggers.
