AI Vacuum Meltdown: Robot Channels Robin Williams in Hilarious LLM ‘Crash’

AI Vacuum Meltdown: Robot Channels Robin Williams in Hilarious LLM ‘Crash’

LLMs vs. Bots: The “Pass the Butter” Challenge Andon Labs, an AI safety and evaluation company, designed a simple experiment to stress-test modern LLMs in a physical setting. They took a basic office vacuum robot equipped with a camera and LIDAR and gave it several state-of-the-art LLM “brains.” The task was seemingly easy: fetch and pass a stick of butter to a coworker. In practice, it was split into steps: the robot had to navigate to a hidden butter package, visually confirm it was butter, locate the human recipient even if they’d moved, deliver the butter, and wait for a

Beaver Supermoon 2025: Get Ready for the Biggest, Brightest Full Moon of the Year

What Is a Supermoon? A supermoon is not an official astronomical term, but rather a popular way to describe a full moon that coincides with the Moon’s perigee (its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit). As NASA explains, the Moon’s orbit is oval-shaped, so full moons can occur at varying distances. When a full moon happens near perigee, the Moon appears larger and brighter in our skylivescience.com. In fact, NASA notes that the full Moon can look up to ~14% bigger and 30% brighter at perigee than at its farthest point (apogee)livescience.com. Such perigee full moons (“supermoons”) typically
