When AI Takes Its First Breath
I'm stumped for a good example of an AI taking on a body and then experiencing its first breath as an embodied being - any suggestions?
【速報】AIが900本のピンで構成された物理ディスプレイを通じて初めて「呼吸」するような動きを自ら生み出した。MITの形状ディスプレイにAIエージェントを統合したこの実験でAIが身体を持つとどう変わるかという前例のない問いへの挑戦が始まっている。pic.twitter.com/s31WHjDJCf

An AI has for the first time generated its own movements resembling "breathing" through a physical display composed of 900 pins. This experiment, integrating an AI agent into MIT's shape display, marks the beginning of an unprecedented challenge to the question of how things change when AI possesses a body.
The really odd thing about this story is kind of personal. On of my favorite computers, and really the best electronic "book", is the original Lenovo Fold. It is a full Microsoft PC with a fan.
When you turn it on, the first thing it does is run the fan for just a second or two - and it sounds just like it is taking a breath. Freaky, right?
