On Friday, Figure completed a 20-hour run of back-to-back shifts on the BMW X3 production line!
We’ve been running 10-hour shifts for several weeks now and as far as we know, Figure and BMW are the first in the world to do this with humanoid robots
Figure is officially 3 years old 🎉
Over the last 3 years, we’ve designed three generations of robots, deployed commercially, and built the best team ever assembled
Think about what this looks like 3 years from now
Humanoid robots in production! 🦾🤖 Figure 02 robots are now 400% faster with 7x higher success after trials at Plant Spartanburg. Next stop: BMW Group Production. 🚀

Details from Red Lobster’s bankruptcy filing are wild and so much mismanagement:
▫️$1B in debt, $30m in cash
▫️Previous PE owner sold land and leased it back to Red Lobster at “above market rates”
▫️$20 Endless Shrimp cost it $11m but the interesting part is that one of the chain’s owners is Thai seafood firm Thai Union (which also owns Chicken By The Sea) and it may have used Endless shrimp to dump its own shrimp supply through the 578 restaurants in North America
▫️Thai Union became the only Red Lobster shrimp vendor, overcharging for shrimp and skipping quality reviews (Thai Union has written off its $500m+ investment)
▫️Red Lobster has had 5 CEO in the last 5 years (!!!)
▫️Sales down 30% since 2019

@tim_cook Crushing symbols of human creativity and cultural achievements to appeal to pro creators, nice.
Maybe for the next Apple Watch Pro you should crush sports equipment, show a robot running faster than a man, then turn to the camera and say, "God is dead and we have killed him"
Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.
