Not sure I implied that Boston Robotics dogs have dog level intelligence but you have to admit that they are making fascinating progress around HW and robotics.

Not sure I implied that Boston Robotics dogs have dog level intelligence but you have to admit that they are making fascinating progress around HW and robotics. SW/AI side is definitely still at the basic, single function type of intelligent level and will take much longer to achieve. But progress both on HW and SW side and the pace at which the progress is happening is pretty impressive. Clearly, the AI side and the current approaches with the focus on machine learning and neural networks will need to evolve to be much more multifunctional/general. Who knows maybe it will be Machine Learning 2.0... or it might be a completely new approach to AI more aligned to biotech/human brain or maybe something completely else. Time will tell.
