"It's the latest prototype in the growing field of soft-bodied robots.
Researchers are increasingly drawing inspiration from nature to create
machines that are more bendable and versatile than those made of metal"
Note the dichotomy:
everything AGI-ers believe in, belongs to rigid artificial, disembodied
worlds, both abstract and technological - hard geometric figures, patterns,
crispness, regularity - "in the box"
everything that I have been advocating belongs to the real, embodied world
(or "nature" above) - soft/squishy graphic schemas, patchworks, fluidity,
irregularity - "out of the box".
