OpenAI Roboticist Trains AI to Paint Golden Gate Bridge

Thijs, a Stanford student working in robotics at OpenAI, attached a robotic arm, paintbrush, and camera to Astra. He asked the system to paint the Golden Gate Bridge in real life. The AI learned to operate the arm and showed improvement across attempts, which Thijs documented in a timelapse video. Sam Altman replied that he wants one. Other users reacted with comments about artists, replacement concerns, and calls for more robots.
