Mind of my Stroked Brain

There is rarely a channel I can watch nowadays for an hour without hearing AI or Humanoid robots. They are being manufactured by several companies to help us at home/ working alongside us , even make us coffee. Usually they are showing of its capabilities and how it moves and does this and that... And I can think about is how incredibly clumsy it is .  I mean, what is our obsession to make it look like a human being and limit it's abilities. For ex. It is struggling to stand, walk and balance on two feet. Any kid from high school will tell you that the most stable platform on and surface is with 3 legs. That's why we have tripods for cameras. So why not build a robot with 3 legs and see how it does. Same with hands/ arms. We (in india) have grown up listening to the great Gods with nothing less than 4 hands. Most have 10. So why limit these robots with just 2. I am sure they can get more done and more efficient with a few more. Looks like the limitations of our mind is being im...

That it was a barren planet and one day couple of millions of years ago (or billions), by accident , a single cell figured out how to convert sunlight into its own energy and also by accident figured out how to divide itself and multiply. Many millions (or billions) of years of mistakes and many species evolved. We are one of them . 2. We were a barren planet and one day a meteorite crashed (it was very common millions of years ago with no atmosphere to burn it up). It carried with it cells with some degree of evolution on intelligence (DNA) and how to multiply and many species evovled from this seeding. It still took millions of years, but it had a leg-up in the process. 3. There are many (or one) superpower somewhere who designed the evolution and species and created all species according to that plan/ design. All 3 are very plausible theories and what we make our own is true for us. The thing I have...
