Eight Marines placed the robot in the center of a traffic circle and found creative ways to approach it, aiming to get close enough to touch the robot without being detected.
Two of the Marines did somersaults for 300 meters. Two more hid under a cardboard box, giggling the entire time. Another took branches from a fir tree and walked along, grinning from ear to ear while pretending to be a tree, according to sources from Scharre's book.
Not one of the eight was detected.
"The AI had been trained to detect humans walking," Scharre wrote. "Not humans somersaulting, hiding in a cardboard box, or disguised as a tree. So these simple tricks, which a human would have easily seen through, were sufficient to break the algorithm."
Bao wrote: However, straightening the spine is not something you should try to do consciously. The spine wants to prolong itself naturally, so aligning yourself with the space-curvature affected be the mass of the earth (i.e. "gravity"), and relaxing into the alignment, will naturally straighten the spine. So you need to learn how to "let go" without collapsing. That is all.
Giles wrote: The word "posture" derives from the Latin ponere, to put or to place. And hence posture isn't really a good term in this context, since we shouldn't try to "put" the spine in place but instead let it find its own hanging state, with gravity, like a plumb line. Which can then continually re-adjust from moment to moment, more 'by itself'.

I have read a lot of writing online regarding Taijiquan that it would not surprise me if it wasn't an experiment and someone's genuine passionate essay.
I have literally read a giant post on a Taijiquan forum about the intricacies of picking up a cup of water, written in an overly dramatic and profound way.
And I'm just so bored. How are these people not bored as well?
It's like listening to people singing the alphabet song. I'm just thinking: "Is this seriously the most interesting topic you can think of? And why must it always be so unnecessarily verbose?"
"Hey kids! Did you know that the spine supports your torso!? Did you know the central nervous system connects the brain and body?"
I'm just thinking: "Who the heck is the intended audience here?"
It makes me miss reading people's bickering online because the disagreements are more mentally stimulating. Reading about a group of people agreeing that keeping an upright posture being a good thing is not exactly my idea of thought-provoking.
Apologies for me ranting to myself.
