IN HONOR OF CALIFORNIA’S 175TH ANNIVERSARY, WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT A VERY SPECIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR EVERY CALIFORNIAN THIS SUMMER! IT WILL FEATURE A HANDSOME, HIGH-QUALITY PHOTO OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT’S THE BEST LICENSE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THIS IS ABOUT CELEBRATING OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE (IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, DESPITE THE VERY HANDSOME PHOTO!). ENJOY! — GOVERNOR GCN


Milestone in Humanoid Robotics: A Thousand Humanoid Sorters Entering Logistics Centers Beijing-based RobotEra is deploying its L7 humanoid robot across more than 10 logistics centers operated by China Post, SF Express Group, and other major players. In several of these centers, the embodied AI robots have already reached over 85% of human-level efficiency while operating stably 24/7. The company is set to begin batch deliveries of robots at the thousand-unit scale in Q2 this year. RobotEra recently raised $200 million in funding. By combining external capital with self-generated revenue, it is accelerating the real-world deployment of humanoid robots. I wonder what UPS would think if they saw this solution? Rumors have been circulating recently that they intend to deploy Figure's humanoid robots in their logistics centers.





Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.


🚨 OpenAI is reportedly building a phone designed to replace the iPhone. And it’s further along than anyone realized. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the same man who predicted every major Apple product cycle for 20 years, just dropped this. Important details: 1: OpenAI is partnering with Qualcomm AND MediaTek to develop custom smartphone processors, not one chip partner, but two competing giants simultaneously 2: Luxshare has been named the exclusive system co-design and manufacturing partner, the same company that assembles Apple products 3: Mass production is targeted for 2028, the hardware roadmap is already in motion 4: The phone will run OpenAI’s own OS, replacing traditional apps entirely with AI agents that complete tasks autonomously, without you ever opening a single app 5: The processor is being designed around on-device AI performance, with complex tasks offloaded to OpenAI’s cloud infrastructure for seamless integration 6: OpenAI’s core thesis: users don’t want apps, they want results. The phone will continuously understand context, habits, and preferences in real time This isn’t a gadget. It’s a direct attempt to replace the operating system layer that Apple and Google have owned for 20 years. I’m doing more research, and what I’m about to post will blow your mind. You’ll wish you followed me sooner, trust me.

Drone warfare has reached such a level that many fighters have lost hope of escaping or resisting. For example, the final strike on the barracks is terrifying.

Welcome to the scientific revolution. 100s of robots. Zero coffee breaks. America’s largest autonomous lab, open today.


after studying a little sociology, if given the leverage, the elite would gate keep wealth and power with what leverage? in the past, they were vulnerable to riots, they were vulnerable to unions of specialized labor that was necessary, soon, they wont be scared of anything



Why does it feel like people talk so little about GitHub Copilot? I think $MSFT is in a stronger position than Google when it comes to coding.

JUST IN: Microsoft is offering "voluntary retirement" buyouts to roughly 8,750 U.S. employees as AI spending ramps up.



Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.
