Bible Verses of the Day
3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. [Romans 5:3-5, ESV]

Figure founder and CEO Brett Adcock Thursday revealed a new machine learning model for humanoid robots. The news, which arrives two weeks after Adcock announced the Bay Area robotics firm’s decision to step away from an OpenAI collaboration, is centered around Helix, a “generalist” Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model.
VLAs are a new phenomenon for robotics, leveraging vision and language commands to process information. Currently, the best-known example of the category is Google DeepMind’s RT-2, which trains robots through a combination of video and large language models (LLMs).
Figure writes, “Helix displays strong object generalization, being able to pick up thousands of novel household items with varying shapes, sizes, colors, and material properties never encountered before in training, simply by asking in natural language.”

He explores various forms of divination and their implications according to biblical teachings. Belcher emphasizes the dangers of seeking guidance from occult practices and contrasts it with seeking guidance from God through prayer and Scripture. He calls believers to trust in God’s wisdom and sovereignty rather than turning to forbidden means for insight into the future.
