I love robots and I can’t deny it 🦾🦿🤖

The board explains to the CEO the drawbacks of a non-AI people leading the company in the AI era.

P.S. A friend told me about a testing incident: the robot bumped into the wall due to a perception malfunction. They put the planning guy on PIP because the Chief Robotic Officer (whatever that means) is clueless about how AI works.

Imagine if human males courted ladies like this 😂😂😂

[Shibetoshi Nakamoto @BillyM2k]

ladies, how could you possibly resist this dance

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

Agree with Ron!

Hire women as executives!

[let it go. @stayaway_002]

You can't honey-trap a woman. A handsome man approaches us, and we immediately assume he has 3 girlfriends, 2 side chicks, and a PhD in emotional trauma.
Our only question is, “Why the hell is he approaching us?
Go traumatise your existing inventory!”

An olive ridley sea turtle, typically found in tropical waters, was spotted making a rare appearance in Monterey Bay as warmer ocean temperatures impact marine life along the California coast.

🚨 BREAKING:

@PathRobotics has raised $300M in Series E funding, nearly quadrupling its valuation to $2.45 billion! 🦄

The round was led by Georgian, with participation from existing investors Addition, Drive Capital, IronArc Ventures, Tiger Global and Yamaha Motor Ventures. New backers include D. E. Shaw Ventures and Naver Ventures. Total raised to date is around $610M.

Path builds AI software for autonomous welding robots, and it has been a busy few months for the company.

→ Up to $900M in shipbuilding work from HII, shared with GrayMatter Robotics, under the Navy’s HYPR programme
→ Obsidian, its physical AI model, now powering robots beyond fixed welding cells
→ Rove, a Boston Dynamics quadruped modified with Path’s technology, carrying out welding tasks directly on large assemblies and immovable structures

Welding is one of the clearest cases for physical AI. Skilled welders are scarce, the work is dangerous, and demand from shipbuilding, defence and heavy industry keeps growing.

Traditional welding robots need precisely fixtured parts and hand-programmed paths. Path’s approach adapts to the part in front of it.

The money is flowing to companies that put robots to work on real industrial jobs with measurable returns, and welding in shipyards is about as real as it gets.

@AndrewLonsberry congrats!!!

One thing I like about Nvidia's account is that it acts like the orchestra in Titanic, particularly the sinking scene. 🎬

[NVIDIA @nvidia]

We’re expanding our collaboration with @elevenlabs to bring voice agents to enterprises and governments worldwide.

With NVIDIA Nemotron models now in ElevenAgents, organizations have more choice in how they build and customize voice agents.

NVIDIA’s @karibriski joined ElevenLabs’ @i_am_holt today to discuss the news and bringing enterprise AI into production.

Sanity check policy done, 20 episodes using UMI grippers, using my BIND action head ✅

Policy isn’t great and left arm performance is worse, but for 20ep it’s a good sanity check that the arm and umi collection and inference setup works

Onwards! 🚀

WSJ: Jensen Huang doesn’t believe in succession planning, and Nvidia investors are now pricing that risk.

Instead of naming an heir, the 63-year-old Jensen runs a flat company with about 60 direct reports, saying constant knowledge-sharing creates many possible successors.

Nvidia’s own “definitive proxy statement” (that they file with SEC) warns that failing to plan succession well could hurt its strategy, execution and long-term success.

A successor could take over his operating duties, but not his direct line to President Trump and the foreign officials he lobbies on chip exports.

Unfair that CEOs who aren’t into Asian girls get fewer dating options from spy agencies.

Where are the French/Russian/Iranian honeypots? Not one spy girl sent my way. Are they even trying?

France is excused — their decision-makers aren’t into girls. Everyone else: try harder!

Both papers are ready to submit.

Just because things aren’t working out today doesn’t mean your story is finished.
