A simple yet impressive way for conveying emotion, made by @toodooda:
Replying to @toodooda
表情ギミック。マズル部のピッチ軸回転ひとつで、笑顔からしょぼ〜ん顔の変化を出せる。 (本来のナマケモノは表情筋が退化しているためこのような表情変化はしない、常に微笑んだような顔をしている生き物)

AVITAxKDDI’s Hinata android continues working in Osaka Metro:
石黒浩教授のアンドロイドを実用化し、大阪メトロ梅田駅に配属されたヒューマノイド駅員ヒナタちゃん。搭載されたGeminiにより案内をしてくれますが、鉄道ルートにはかなりの忖度があります(笑)

Lovely story of practical application of Enchanted Tools' Mirokaï robots
During radiotherapy, parents wait outside. At the Institut du Cancer de Montpellier, the care team noted a week of sessions running shorter than usual. The children were calmer. Mirokaï stayed with them the whole time. ↘ Full story: enchanted.pulse.ly/gwthabmzi… #robotics #healthcare #radiotherapy

Of note:
I'm going to throw up a question about the investigation of the Hugging Face incident. When you do an investigation of any dangerous incident, one key element to examine is human error. But the Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR) institution didn't do that. They seemed only interested in what the agents were doing. That is, they anthromorphized the agents, while turning the humans into non-player characters. Did OpenAI researchers and executives know the risks they were taking and take steps to manage them? What kinds of human discussions were happening internally around these models? How did they mitigate these risks internally? Did they discuss legal liability? Was the board or were executives involved? These are the kinds of questions to ask if you are a real regulator. I don't see where or if METR asked them. Mostly they footnoted that these questions are 'out of scope.' They saw this project as a technical inquiry into the capabilities of intelligent models, not as an analysis of a dangerous accident. They interviewed eight researchers. Any executives? Any board members or lawyers? From the Silicon Valley Bank fiasco to the Space Shuttle explosion to the 737 Max, we've always realize that human behavior is the foundation of how complex systems behave. That is true here too. I don't see any analysis of the actual people at OpenAI making decisions about the tools used for hacking. Am I missing something?
