This makes me so happy and excited! Often my mind wanders into the unknown, imagining what would happy to X if it did this? Would it have friction, etc?
I am looking forward to a way I can easily describe a scenario and have an LLM build a legitimate simulation for it. No more hypothetical talk! Next best thing to actual experimentation (can be a useful tool in convincing others to join you/support you in said real experiment - “see? I tested it in a simulation and it behaves exactly that way! We need to try this..”).
One thing to be mindful of is that you can get a simulation to behave in (almost) any way you want if you set the parameters right, so you should take care to understand the assumptions that you're baking into your sim before taking its results as gospel.

MuJoCo does not simulate at a scale where you can discover whether something has friction or not. Friction is a parameter to MuJoCo's simulations.
Build things yourself. Using LLMs doesnt help you understand anything, they will just give you an annoying case of dunning kruger. Using them will only make you retart-d
