The whole connecting online for rebuilding stuff though, yea, weird.
Not just weird, 100% retarded.
I don't think there's a single AI online today that could 1) connect to an "orbiting satellite" (why does it have satellite connection capabilities in the first place?) 2) find the correct manual referring to its own internals on the open internet (why would those manuals be on the open internet?) 3) "read" and understand the manual well enough to "upgrade" itself 4) independently locate and utilize tools and parts to "upgrade" itself.
This video is targeted to appeal to normalfags who don't really understand how incredibly limited AIs are right now, and who don't understand how any of the other AI-less parts of this sequence would have to work to even be remotely plausible.
That's a good take on it. As I said earlier, this is the first I have heard of this and I knew people here would have more info than me.
Yeah no worries. The other red flag here is "upgrade itself to be stronger than designed". That's some high level general AI that simply doesn't exist in the modern day.
Any AI capable of independently generalizing its own design to the point of being able to arbitrarily "upgrade" itself would be more capable than any AI currently in operation anywhere in the world.
There are somewhat general AIs that are getting made now but they're very limited, require hundreds of hours of training on general problems to be able to solve them (using mainframe GPU acceleration that simply isn't available in a portable package).
So the idea that a robot (most robots like this that can walk around have extremely limited battery life, we're talking about 30 minutes of online operation to maybe an hour or at max, two) would be able to do these things is silly.
While some of this stuff COULD be done IF and only IF it was set up in a way to allow it to happen, with massive amounts of data center resources working behind the scenes over the course of weeks, it's completely infeasible for it to be done on a mobile robot platform that has battery life that is so dogshit the average person would consider it unusable.
