The Robotics Summit in Boston today featured a lot of cool robots, including some from @AGIBOTofficial

New: A group of AI researchers from Google DeepMind, Apple, MSL, and OpenAI are launching a new startup called Trajectory to build a continual learning platform for companies.

They've raised a $15M seed round from Sarah Guo's Conviction, Jeff Dean, Fei-Fei Li, and others.

@ErenChenAI amazing!

@ShayneRedford @alex_pentland @sarahookr @PeterHndrsn congrats!

@S_OhEigeartaigh Fair points. I am concerned that we really don't know how psychologically harmful it can be in general. Like other people writing about AI, I am inundated with worrying messages from people who seem to be experiencing mental health issues.

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

[Will Knight @willknight]

@hlntnr @SusanShirk1 Great point. The damage being done to American science right now is so much more important than reducing regs for rich companies.

The recent NYT opinion piece by @tab_delete is so fascinating, beyond just the way AI is upending education. "What really is the distinction between a nameless, faceless human you’ll never meet except over the internet and a statistical approximation of the same thing?".

@KuphDev @Ken_Goldberg @spencerhuang_ nice!

[Will Knight @willknight]

It is truly mind-blowing how capable Claude and Codex now are at configuring and controlling robots. My own experiments (with a lerobot 101) point to a fascinating new trend in robotics that could accelerate adoption. Many thanks to @Ken_Goldberg and @spencerhuang_ for their insights! https://t.co/kCebMC5cxR

@mkemka_ @Ken_Goldberg @spencerhuang_ Very cool. Seeed studio is amazing.

[Will Knight @willknight]

impressive, but really looks like child labor.

[HomebrewRobotics @homebrewrobots]

the T1 is alive in our lab.

first power-on. first walk. first package.

[Will Knight @willknight]

@mkemka_ @Ken_Goldberg @spencerhuang_ It looks amazing. I will have to save up for one!
