Hi there! I'm usually elsewhere lately ...

AGAIN!!! RECORD REVENUE AND LAYOFFS ANNOUNCED ON THE SAME DAY I am so tired of seeing this pattern. We have psychopath CEOs who lack all imagination: if you have new capabilities, DO NEW THINGS! Invent new tech. Expand to new markets! Use your new AI powers for GOOD.

Great interview with $PATH CEO and CMO credit: @johnkoetsier youtube.com/watch?v=QOfY94…

@PieterDorsman @WebSummit @BretWeinstein @mtracey @Lauren_Southern I had no idea what I was signing up for there …

A discussion @WebSummit about abolishing podcasts takes us straight to Epstein and vaccines. Really fun debate with @BretWeinstein, @mtracey and @Lauren_Southern concluding that online is ‘cooking reality’. Hard to moderate, but good job @johnkoetsier.

I love my NanoClaw assistant!!!

Check out the little flip to close the notebook :-) Wow

@StephanJaeckel yep. depends of course on whether it's a commercial kitchen or the one in your house

@johnkoetsier This French start up focusing on hands is on the only way forward in biomimicry in robotics: 10 hands get done more than 2. You can squeeze five #humanoids into a kitchen and create waste, #muda #muri Or you put ten hands into a productive robotic kitchen.

I got the same thoughts as an "..engineer who came out of @SpaceX, who actually builds this stuff, says the installed base of dexterous robot hands doing real work in the real world is, functionally, zero", so I share my wring ideas with experts. ⬇️#MustRead

Ever wanted a robot chef? Right in your kitchen. Right in your house. I sure have. Now we just might have hands that are good enough to make that a reality, & the AI to drive them. >> These Robot Hands Can Literally Make You An Egg Scramble Breakfast forbes.com/sites/johnkoet…

We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

AI agents are insanely awesome. AI agents are also unimaginably stupid.

His contrarian bet: half the $5T physical AI market isn't about work. It's about companionship. Forbes: forbes.com/sites/johnkoet… Full TechFirst interview: johnkoetsier.com/home-robot/

The man who put 50M Roombas in homes is back — with a robot that won't clean your floors. Colin Angle's new company: Familiar Machines. First product: a fuzzy quadruped AI companion. Not a humanoid. Not a vacuum. Something entirely new.

My guess: the NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos to hack the world's nations. That's exactly what I suspected they would do ...

Sigh ... we live in the dumbest timeline ... President Trump's administration is paying almost $900 million to kill off two more wind power projects and steering that money into oil and gas projects.

burning tokens not time

The fighters in the battle for the future of AI: - NVIDIA (heavyweight champion) - Google (TPUs) - Amazon (Graviton) - Huawei (Ascend) And then a bunch of startups with neuromorphic or mega-chip strategies that will, if they look promising, get bought up. Anything else?
