I love hearing this

We spend an enormous amount of time on the robot’s industrial design. Every new robot starts on a clean sheet of paper. We begin with a two-week sketch blitz, putting ideas on paper and exploring hundreds of concepts before moving into concept engineering

I’m excited to announce that Figure has signed a commercial agreement with Catalyst Brands, the operator of JCPenney, Aéropostale, and Brooks Brothers

We’ll work to deploy humanoid robots at scale, starting with initial deployment in Reno, NV

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@PeterDiamandis I have been saying for a long time that Apple would be the best acquirer of FigureAI. “It’s the Apple model applied to robotics. And it’s going to print money.”

[Mark Smith @marksmith3C]

@PeterDiamandis Incredible write-up, Peter. The technical progress here—especially moving from brittle, hand-coded logic to end-to-end learning—is genuinely transformative.

That said, I think the biggest “unlock” won’t just be autonomy—it’ll be trust and reliability over months, not hours.

I explored this dynamic and what a shift toward pre-dispute resolution could mean for acquirers, ISOs, and merchants here: https://t.co/J0kFu9EeCy

[Mark Smith @marksmith3C]

When dissatisfaction has no immediate path to resolution, escalation becomes the default. Most tools respond after that happens — when trust and economics are already broken.

[Mark Smith @marksmith3C]

Payments has a growth problem hiding inside its risk strategy.

Disputes aren’t just a cost issue — they’re a structural bottleneck created by late-stage resolution and consumer confusion.
