Will Knight shares a hands-on robot training experiment: using Nous Research's Hermes and GPT-6-Sol to "vibe-train" a Pollen Robotics Microduck robot to perform the Moonwalk in simulation. Results aren't there yet, but he finds the process remarkable and thinks AI is about to deliver far more general-purpose robots.
