If you're in crypto, pivot to robotics

@niccruzpatane This will be a crazy period of time

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says there will be Humanoid Robots everywhere in the next 3 to 5 years. "From the point of high functioning existence proof, to reasonable products, technology never takes more than a couple 2-3 cycles (Generations). A couple 2-3 cycles would basically be around 3 to 5 years, that’s it. 3 to 5 years we’re going to have robots all over the place."

@nafareall @SawyerMerritt Supa dupa fast

@SawyerMerritt How fast do these really charge?

Tesla now has four V4 Supercharging stations open across the U.S. capable of delivering up to 500 kW charging speeds. • Kissimmee, Florida (opened this week) • Gatlinburg, Tennessee (opened last week) • Taylorsville, Utah (opened Jan 2026) • Redwood City, California (opened Sept 2025) As of this week, Tesla's Giga New York factory will now only produce these new V4 cabinets, which means 500kW Tesla Supercharging stations are going to start popping up everywhere pretty soon. Note: 500KW charging is currently only available on the Cybertruck. S3XY vehicles get 250kW charge rates they already experience on existing Superchargers.

@SawyerMerritt @exzacklyright Such a game changer for Tesla owners

@JayHe748646 First tennis and now badminton

Will release something interesting in the coming months.

@Kekius_Sage Not sure if this is good or bad

BREAKING 🚨: AI JUST LEARNED SCIENTIFIC TASTE. AI can now thinks like scientists, including their biases.

@plastic_gear Ahh yes, a walnut fondler, just what the world needed

@ValerioCapraro Crazy times we are living in

We are no longer living in a purely human society. We are entering a hybrid system where humans and machines continuously interact and influence each other. Where does this system evolve? In a new perspective piece, we brought together leading experts to address this using the lens of evolutionary game theory. We outline six core research directions: 1) Evolution of social behaviour. How cooperation, fairness, and trust evolve in mixed human–AI populations. 2) Machine culture. How AI systems generate, transmit, and select cultural traits. 3) Language–behaviour co-evolution. How LLMs, by framing decisions, reshape preferences, norms, and actions. 4) Delegation dynamics. How control, responsibility, and agency shift between humans and machines. 5) Epistemic pipelines. How different cognitive processes generate human vs AI judgments, and how these co-evolve. 6) AI–regulation co-evolution. How firms, institutions, and users strategically shape—and are shaped by—AI development. We hope this framework sparks new work at the intersection of AI, behaviour, and society. * Paper in the first reply Joint with @T_A_Han, @jzl86, Tom Lenaerts, @iyadrahwan, @fernandopsantos, @matjazperc

My father-in-law is an old-school animator. He is insanely gifted. We were watching this 1987 MADOX-01 cockpit scene together and I asked him what it would cost to animate something like this today with all our fancy computers. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

Damn, this was animated in 1987

@tbpn Livestream summary for those pressed for time: x.com/robodaily/stat…

EschenBACK at Sequoia, The Cubanator Joins, Robo Rivians Coming Soon, Samsung wants their Chips with the Dip x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Great episode of @tbpn today with @johncoogan & @jordihays. Some interesting takeaways on today’s robotics, AI, and tech news from the live stream: • Robo Rivians Coming Soon: Rivian + Uber partnership to deploy up to 50,000 autonomous robotaxis — a major step in the robotaxi race • Mark Cuban joins live and is highly skeptical of humanoid robots — predicts they’ll “fail miserably” within 5-10 years. He argues we should use purpose-built robots instead and redesign warehouses/homes around optimal form factors (e.g., hiding pantry/fridge behind the garage so living space stays for people) • Samsung’s massive AI chip push: ~$73B investment into new facilities, HBM memory, and foundry expansion for 2026 to challenge TSMC amid the AI compute boom • EschenBACK at Sequoia: Carl Eschenbach rejoins as partner (with Pat Grady also on the show) — plus discussions on VC trends Plus segments with startup founders from Paraform, Edra AI & RunSybil, geopolitics hits (Iran energy impact), OpenAI deals, Meta’s AI moderator shift, and more. Classic high-energy TBPN rundown! Very enlightening discussion.

@eeWeeWllamsA @Rainmaker1973 Now that’s a good idea

@Rainmaker1973 They should add a massage option on these things. Totally wicked dough

This futuristic electric concept motorcycle combines bold cyberpunk design with advanced engineering.

@ohhellnoman2 @SteveLovesAmmo Open source this asap

@SteveLovesAmmo Need to get files for this.

This is the best laugh I’ve had in a while. Just wait for it.

Humanoid Robot price drop! China’s Humanoid Robot Market Hits a Tipping Point: GGII Report Reveals Sharp Cost Cuts and Factory ROI A new analysis from GGII (高工机器人产业研究所), one of China’s leading robotics research institutes, shows humanoid robots are moving from prototypes to production-line reality faster than most experts realize. According to the report, average unit costs have dropped to ~100,000 yuan ($14,300) in early 2026, down from 150,000 yuan the year before. Payback periods have shrunk to just 12 months, making the economics competitive with traditional industrial automation for the first time. A price war is now in full swing among the top three players, who control roughly 70% of the domestic market: •Unitree’s G1: 99,000 yuan (first major model under 100k) •Fourier Intelligence’s GR-3: 115,000 yuan •UBTech’s industrial model: 128,000 yuan GGII forecasts 80,000 units shipped in China this year (potentially revised upward to 100,000), with 72% going into factories. One documented case study—an auto-parts plant that deployed 50 humanoids for welding and assemble achieved full payback in 11.5 months plus a 3.2% yield improvement. The report remains pragmatic: fault rates in unstructured environments are still 8–12%, and true mass adoption may require prices in the 50,000–80,000 yuan range. Still, the trajectory is unmistakable: China is executing the same volume-first playbook that transformed its EV industry. Note: GGII’s full research reports are proprietary and client-only. •Primary Chinese media coverage citing GGII’s Zhang Xiaofei: finance.sina.com.cn/wm/2026-03-12/… The era of affordable, factory-ready Chinese humanoids has officially begun. We in the US will enter into the race and change all aspects of the industry.

@HomeiMiyashita Impressive for sure

@SkildAI @ABBRobotics @Universal_Robot @NVIDIARobotics Big things coming

Robotics is a data problem. Today, we’re partnering with @ABBRobotics, @Universal_Robot, and @NVIDIARobotics to deploy the Skild Brain across real-world industries from manufacturing to factory lines. This will help us build the world’s biggest data flywheel for physical AI.

@EV_Trapper Detracted too much into other industries and just now we are catching up

Yet here we are making this same thing, 44 years later. How did we let ourselves get so far behind?
