@DaveShapi Calories to human output… that’s an interesting rabbit hole. Feels like a huge amount of advancement could be achieved by focusing brains on that.

So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.

OK, here is what you do:

1. Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the "HIPAA Compliance/Privacy Officer"
(By federal law, they have to have one)

2. Then ask them for the NAMES as well as
CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make that decision of denial.

By law you have a right to that information.

3. They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly rather than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at "criteria words." making the medical decision to deny your care.
Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and they DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!!

4. Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil
Rights (https://t.co/QJjJAm5BxT) as a HIPAA violation.

Be safe out there 🫵🏻✨
Know your rights 👊🏼

Everytime I get mad at people in the cheap seats criticizing founders in the arena, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

@gregisenberg This also probably coincides with the increase in usefulness and penetration of AI like chatGPT, Gemini and Claude, along with the open source community as well as the new image and video creation capabilities.

@alex_avoigt “it's a very limited and standard activity that doesn't come close to anything what an AI-controlled humanoid robot is about and should be measures against.”

…. 🤔 what are you even talking about? It’s literally the first humanoid robot to ever do such a task at this level! There is NO STANDARD. Literally this robot is creating the standard and everything they learn through this process sets the next iteration up for greater and greater things. That’s literally how everything works in every aspect of human history. Everything you’ve ever done has been more crude than it was after years and years of learning. Can someone just say they want to win a gold medal in the Olympics, go out there and do it without thousands of hours over years and years of training?

At any point in this or other posts did they say it was perfect and better than other robot forms or humans? NO. They are sharing history and progress here.

Did you even take a minute to see what the companies mission is? Why are you talking about Kuka robots? Figures aim to bring a commercially viable humanoid robot to market — deploying autonomous humanoid robots at scale to address challenges in the labor economy, especially in areas with labor shortages or tasks that are dangerous, undesirable, or difficult for humans to do.

What other “AI-controlled humanoid robot” is working at a higher level? What are you comparing this to? It’s easy to dream something up and say it on X, but if it existed you could just post a link to it, and show everyone how far behind Figure is.

No uncanny valley,just ultra-humanlike robots that feel natural.

Hangzhou-based AheafFrom isn’t just building emotional humanoid robots, but replicas of future humans.

They collaborate with artists to craft beautiful appearances, powered by CharacterMind, a system that gives robots “emotions.”

It understands tone, expressions, and gestures, then responds with voice, facial expressions, eye contact, and body language,making interactions feel like talking to a real person.

This is the best robotic hand I've ever seen.

Not even Tesla or Figure has been able to achieve this. The next 5 years are going to be crazy.

🇨🇳 CHINA BROKE THE SKY WITH 11,787 DRONES

Chongqing, China just pulled off the wildest drone light show the world has ever seen.

A jaw-dropping 11,787 drones lit up the night sky, setting a new Guinness World Record.

The drones moved together to create glowing shapes like a giant running kid and swirling clouds above tall buildings.

It looked more like a Pixar dream than something real.

Fireworks could never.
