Robot hands matter less than the intelligence driving them, says GeneralistAI

- The post argues that if we can build general intelligence that understands the physics of interaction, then the exact shape of a robot hand matters less than the intelligence behind it.
- It suggests that tools like suction pads, grippers, brushes, and welding nozzles are all just different interfaces for the same underlying intelligence.
- The broader vision is that future robot hands will be more like a toolbox of interchangeable interfaces than a human hand replica, extending what robots can do in the physical world.
