#robots have a far way to go, in this case a #darpa #robot was easily #defeated by #us #marines#hiding under a #cardboard #box https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/3424..
Looks like #darpa are publicly #denying #daszak #funding #gof #research - after #china's #wuhan #lab requested funding for #covid #bat #experiments in 2018 to the tune of $14 million: https://www.lotuseaters.com/darpa-denied.. What an absolute mess this is turning into.
I really hope that the #uk 's version of the #us 's #darpa ends up working out: https://www.economist.com/science-and-te.. I agree that there is value in the culture. Often I am reminded of such greats as #belllabs and the amazing advances that came from there.
