I know for many it's politically correct to crap on anything Elon Musk
is involved in these days, but its worth keeping up with his companies
accomplishments.

Here's his robot, walking over uneven terrain, up and downhill, and

I admit it walks like a drunk, but the progress is remarkable.

There's also videos showing it catching a tossed ball one-handed.

Combine this with AI, and some interesting things
will happen.

I get real 'With Folded Hands' chills from
watching these.
