From one piece Waymo Co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov: The Demo Is Only 1% Of The Work 5 beliefs, in the piece's order there

A physical AI company needs three AIs, not one — the agent, the simulator and the critic — turning deployment into a flywheel.

Their words

So, a deployment of your agent uh in the real world generates data. That data then grounds the simulator and makes it more realistic. The simulator generates harder edge cases for the critic to score and for the agent to learn from.

Building a realistic simulator is exactly as hard as building the agent, because the simulator is itself a large AI model.

Their words

And the problem of building a good realistic simulator is just as hard as building the agent itself.

Every AI hype cycle produces spectacular demos and very few products, because each breakthrough makes the demo far easier and the tail barely easier.

Their words

And that's why every hype cycle produces a wave of absolutely spectacular demos and very few real products. And the recurring mistake of every cycle is spending on the demo when you should be saving for the nines.

A physical AI agent has to be safe on day one, because you cannot ship something merely good enough and let users find the edge cases.

Their words

Given the high cost of errors, you need to have a very high level of safety and a very high level of confidence on day one before you deploy your first robot, before you drive your your first autonomous mile.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
