Google's DeepMind AI Just Taught Itself To Walk

Google's artificial intelligence company, DeepMind, has developed an AI that has managed to learn how to walk, run, jump, and climb without any prior guidance. The result is as impressive as it is goofy.

as someone who can walk, I can confirm that flailing your arms around frantically is an extremely effective walking technique

[natersthegamer]

Can't believe I've been walking the wrong way my whole life...

[eisOnYT]

Well now if we ever see someone walking like that, we'll know it's Google

[ryomensukuna]

The humanoid looks like it is constantly cheering itself over its success

[cassbailey]

1:32 when you hear your mom pulling in but you forgot to do the thing she told you to do

[dancingbubbles]

Imagine if that really was the best way to run and at the next Olympics we see Usain Bolt spazzing out down the track shattering all previous records.

[TheRealBeatMaster]

One day the AI will read all these comments making fun of it's approach and that'll be the point when it decides to end humanity

[dimitribarrow]

I've been walking for many years and can confirm his technique is absolutely flawless 1:33

[DeclanLangenfeld]

1:39 cool it plays the invisible guitar!
1:44 and the trombone....

[loganhaney]

Well, if I ever see someone swinging their arms around and punching the air while they walk around, I'll know it's a robot.

[kingofgreed]

I think the reason it runs like that is because unlike us it does not need to worry about expending energy

Google AI: the new "late for work" figure

[koenvandamme]

Judging by this, the robot uprising is going to be frigging hilarious.

[michaeldesanta]

Imagine some futuristic military robots invading your country like this

[bayekofsiwa]

1:33 even AI knows that naruto run is the best way to move

[elie]

i think the only reason the computer made the simulation flail its arms in such a funny way is to keep balance because it had not yet learned to stabilize itself otherwise (spinal cord)

[yomama]

1:09 drunk and trying to fight imaginary monster

[deborahol]

People are laughing but I would absolutely shite myself if I saw that thing coming towards me

[doingtime]

It seems to be disregarding energy consumption, having it would probably make it look more normal.

This is the dude your girl told you not to worry about
