It will be interesting to see how a robot walking around really works out. I mean, we know that when it comes to predicting reality, we're just terrible at it.

I mean, we know that when it comes to predicting reality, we're just terrible at it. 3 bodies interacting under gravitation outstrips our ability to predict. You want to account for the wind resistance and nonlinear behavior of everything around? Good luck! Chaos theory will eat you for lunch! If an AI had decided that flash crashes were a way to get rich, you can guarantee that Goldman Sachs would be running one 24/7 right now. High frequency trading systems are actually quite constrained. Even if you hooked together all the worlds supercomputers and somehow got them into the datacenter of the stock exchange, you wouldn't be able to maintain the trading volume HFT systems do with a deep learning system. Also, as far as I know, the successful videogame playing systems that accomplish some degree of 'long term planning' (meaning more than a few frames) all cheat. They actually "learn" by trying and then rolling the system back. In reality, you can't roll the system back. So that would be a fatal handicap to their methods.
