TODAY: Amazon just announced a multi-year plan to invest over €10 billion to expand and modernize its European fulfillment centers, including hiring 25,000 new employees. The investment will include the launch of a next-generation autonomous robot and the expansion of systems that collaborate alongside employees. 🤖🚀
Amazon's autonomous Proteus robot is getting a major upgrade. The original moved heavy carts around dock areas. The new version can work anywhere in our operations, and employees direct it using natural language commands.
Also in the mix: Vulcan, Amazon's first robot with a sense of touch, is expanding to handle more tasks at more sites. And STARK, a new collaborative robotic tote-handling system, will be deployed to 15 sites across Europe by 2027.
📌☁️ @Pinterest just committed $4B for @awscloud services through 2031, the largest infrastructure commitment in the company's history.

Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) is targeting Jun 17 at 7:53 a.m. ET/11:53 a.m. UTC for liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. This is our third Ariane 6 mission and our largest Ariane 6 payload to date, with 36 satellites launching using upgraded P160C solid rocket boosters.
With more than 300 satellites already deployed, LE-03 will mark 100 launched with @Arianespace as we continue scaling deployment ahead of an initial service rollout later this year.

One of the things I find most interesting about the AI jobs conversation is that we’re talking about disappearing roles at the same time more software developers are being hired than ever before.
The job is changing. The demand isn’t.
Enjoyed the conversation with @CaseyNewton on @platformer.

Introducing the next iteration of the @zoox robotaxi. ⬇️
After 500,000+ rides, the robotaxi has been improved through real rider feedback.
What's new: a more comfortable cabin, a brighter touchscreen and improved charging pad, a refreshed interior, and new exterior cues that make it even easier to distinguish the robotaxi’s front from its rear. The vehicle still has no steering wheel, no pedals, and drives in both directions. Now it's moving into large-scale production.
