Jeff Frick on Robotics - YouTube I've had the great pleasure of interviewing a number of robotics experts. AI with arms and legs.

Someone said they were enjoying the embodied ai (aka robots) coverage, someone else was very curious to learn more about this world. Investors have taken notice
So I put together a playlist.

Sad but true

How 60 Minutes found out Donald Trump would not participate in an election special Voters will not hear directly from former President Donald Trump during the 60 Minutes election special. Trump, after initially accepting, later declined to participate.

All this talk of equal time.
Remember when CBS invited Donnie & Kamala for the final Sunday TV appearance before the election, as was tradition?
Donnie said no, Kamala said yes,
Donnie sued
CBS paid.

A tech CEO says AI is about to do to everyone what it is doing to coders. Is he right? Matt Shumer’s viral essay comparing AI to the early days of Covid has more than 80 million views. The concern is understandable. The timeline is another story.

Grappling with fear vs hope on AI's impact on jobs?

Putin is prosecuting in absentia a German carnival float builder, Jacques Tilly, for making parade floats making fun of him.

Anyone in MAGA want to speak up for this float builder's free speech rights being violated by Russia? Anyone?

Humans don't collide. We just interact with the world.
To me, that's the fundamental problem in how to make robots useful outside of a factory. - Bernt Børnich

We are able to take a model that is trained on very general purpose physical interaction data, and we train on more and more of it. And every single task that we are tracking continues to get better. - Pete Florence

Japan put robots to use and became the leaders in industrial robot adoption in part because of a national strategy.

Today, who has the national strategy on robotics? China. And China has dwarfed everyone in terms of their application. - Jeff Burnstein

They've never been bashful about sharing intent.

Sept. 22, 2025 President Trump signed an executive order on Monday targeting the left-wing antifascist movement, known as antifa, threatening "investigatory and prosecutorial action" against those who financially support it. But Mr. Trump's order said that he was declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" - a designation that does not actually exist under U.S. law. Anti-fascism, like fascism itself, is a broad political ideology rather than a specific organization, and the U.S. does not have a domestic terrorism law.

People still discussing elections and laws. They are in denial about it being too late for that. They can’t pinpoint a moment when america became a fascist country. How about using September 22nd, 2025? That was the day MAGA fascists declared antifascism to be domestic terrorism. Seems unambiguous.
