A large white dog is present inside a small metal shed or structure, interacting with a small plastic skeleton toy on the floor. The dog is positioned near an open metal gate that leads outside, where a wrapped decorative item hangs. There are no people, vehicles, or unusual packages visible in the scene.

Most orgs chasing the latest AI model are missing the point entirely.
Sophie Dionnet from Dataiku puts it plainly: the transformation you need today doesn't require the newest model. It requires the hard, unglamorous work of change management.
The real trap? Preferring the new toy over actually putting it to use.

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117495606576800262
We can’t fight these fires one by one (of course we must right now). The long term solution:
Strip the @EUCommission of its legislative power and give it to the EU Parliament where it belongs. No idea how you’d even start that process, though. If this overlaps your area of expertise, please feel free to pipe up or to take the initiative (with no illusions that this will happen overnight).
(The EU Parliament is currently a toy parliament. The only parliament in the world that cannot legislate.)

Been running Linux for two decades, building homelab clusters for six years. Think that makes me done learning? Nope. Even AI still teaches me useful stuff nearly every day. Get off my lawn, sure — but like any tool, it's neither a weapon nor a toy by itself. Depends who's holding it.

Starshield service in Ukraine has returned to normal operation according to Defense Minister Evgeniy Khmara, following a 10-day period of restrictions that caused Ukrainian drones to lose internet connectivity at speeds near 100 mph.
The disruption impacted drone control and operations, while the military continues tests without an official explanation for the prior throttling.

RF:Ph05:Ch81: Humanoid Robots
At the turn of the 21st century, Japanese car manufacturer Honda publicly unveiled a humanoid robot called Asimo. Clearly named after Isaac Asimov, the name was also an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. The robot was the outcome of several years of less public research into developing an autonomous machine that could walk. By the early 2000s, Honda would make public demonstrations of Asimo walking, gesturing with its arms and navigating spaces. By 2022, Honda had retired the whole program.
In science fiction, human-shaped robots have been the predominant shape for mechanical people. In stories about clever inventors creating robots, the challenge has been creating autonomous beings, with very little attention given to one of the most challenging problems with the idea of a human-shaped robot: walking.
Human locomotion is very odd. Notably, along with the whole intelligence, culture, and civilisation aspect of humanity, the human approach to walking is almost unique. The other great apes can walk for short periods on just two legs, but more generally use their arms as well. There are plenty of other bipedal animals (e.g. all birds) and, among mammals, the macropods (kangaroos and wallabies) routinely move about on two legs. However, a kangaroo counterbalances its torso with a tail, and when moving at speed by bouncing, its spine is more horizontal. Humans balance their torso vertically above their hips when walking in a precarious manoeuvre, with their big blob of a skull right at the top, just to make the whole structure look even more like a structure on the verge of collapse.
Walking, it turns out, is very difficult. As an engineering problem, developing bipedal robots has been a substantial challenge. It is also, arguably, a pointless one. In terms of machines that can move around autonomously, human style walking is technically difficult but also dangerous. Even humans fall over more frequently than they would like to. In many industrial or even urban settings wheeled machines make more sense. Over the past few decades, commercial autonomous mobile machines from robot vacuum cleaners to self-driving cars have been predominantly wheeled vehicles. Military autonomous machines aka drones, on the other hand, have predominately been ariel, from the cruise missiles of the 1980s to modern drone warfare.
The most publicly notable autonomous mobile machines that use walking, have been the robots produced by the company Boston Dynamics. Funded primarily by military investment, the 2005 BigDog robot was a sinister looking quadruped. Although, the machine received a lot of hype as a potential all-terrain military support machine intended to carry equipment, BigDog was shelved in 2010. The company has since produced smaller and more adept quadruped robots. Four legs obviously has a distinct advantage over two, but the current impact of this style of robots has mainly been cultural, with the sinister looking “dog” style robots working their way into near-future science fiction, including the tense 2017 Black Mirror episode Metalhead.
Of course, not all the point of developing a bipedal machine is to produce a commercial human form robot. As an engineering challenge, robots like Asimo had a dual purpose as a research challenge and as a way of publicising the engineering skills of the parent company. Building mechanical limbs has potential applications to the development of prosthetics also. A bipedal robot developed with DARPA funding by Boston Dynamics called PETMAN was designed to test HAZMAT and other protective clothing. Having a machine with a range of human movement makes more sense in this specific context.
Despite the downsides of human form robots, development continues. In 2025 an annual event partly funded by the Chinese government, named the World Humanoid Robot Games, presented a series of challenges in which various robots could compete. The challenges in the subsequent 2026 event included quasi-sport events like running but also dancing and food service. Not all of the events required the robots to be fully autonomous and different types of robots competed in different events. The results varied between impressive (in terms of engineering) to comical with at least one robot crashing into an obstacle at speed and catching fire.
In 2021, Elon Musk’s Tesla company announced the development of a commercial humanoid robot named Optimus (after the leader of the Transformers). A prototype was displayed in 2022 and Musk claimed that they would be in commercial production by 2023. As of 2026 the supposed Generation 3 model has not been revealed and the robots are not commercially available. Currently, Optimus appears to be more hype than an actual product. At approximately 60 kilograms, the robot would be a dangerous object to have in your house if it fell over, and critics have pointed at the dubious safety record of Tesla’s cars as a point of comparison. It is also unclear what the point of this robot would be.
The ongoing interest in developing humanoid robots is demonstrably influenced by science fiction. While there are other factors, as already mentioned, these machines are arguably just another form of science fiction but written in the form of engineering rather than words. They are an expression of the same recurring (and dubious) fantasy of manufacturing a person, or at least a person-shaped thing. As with the fictional motives of the various creators we’ve covered in this project, the motives are twofold. The first is simply the challenge of the task, and the second is the far more sinister idea of having a being that you can own and who will obey you. Culturally, humanity has been running this thought experiment for many hundreds of years and the consensus in fiction is that the dream never works out. The happiest fictional scenarios is that truly intelligent beings are created who then, quite rightly, gain their freedom. The least happy scenarios end in war and genocide. That is fiction though, and whether an actually useful but less than intelligent humanoid robot can be created cost effectively remains unclear.
Returning to the real world, the actual proliferation of autonomous mobile machines has not trended towards a human shape. The humble robot vacuum cleaner is the most common domestic example, which manages a household chore efficiently but with maybe the cognitive power of an insect. Meanwhile, the more dystopian reality of robot warfare ranges from substantial remote controlled aircraft, to much smaller drones based on technology developed for hobbyists. Flight is an interesting application for computers because it is not something human brains are adept at, and hence even human piloted aircraft benefit from automation.
If human shaped machines do become more common in the near future it will not be because of the limited practical applications of the idea but as a kind of highly expensive toy.
