It is strange how much LLMs turned out to be able to solve such a wide range of hard problems that would not, instinctively, seem to be problems that a model of human language would be able to solve This is from a Stanford project that let Astra drive a robot in a kitchen tml.stanford.edu/homebody/

Quick belated paper promotion. We had 2 papers at ECCV that I was in Malmo to present! UniFlow is a foundation model for 3D LiDAR scene flow, demonstrating zero-shot generalization across datasets and LiDAR sensors for the first time. We also showed that semantics don’t generalize the same way.

A lesson from decades of work on automation is that autonomous systems require continual monitoring and human oversight. System designers never(*) succeed in anticipating all of the ways that a system can fail.

The conclusion is that we must design our "autonomous" systems to be combined human-machine systems with continual supervision from the very beginning.
