  • Arms Before Androids: How Factory Robots Learn Real Work

    Arms Before Androids: How Factory Robots Learn Real Work
    10 Oct 2026
    A company that builds faceless factory robot arms just raised $200 million at a billion-dollar valuation by teaching machines tasks through pretrained models, human demonstrations, and on-site corrections. Daniel and Emily unpack what the AI stack actually does, why 'data quality beats data volume' might be the quiet engineering lesson of the year, and what all of it means for the person standing next to the arm. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.

  • AI Didn't Eat Robotics: 1,933 Papers and the Long Road to Your Living Room

    AI Didn't Eat Robotics: 1,933 Papers and the Long Road to Your Living Room
    9 Oct 2026
    Daniel and Emily read the IROS 2026 paper census—1,933 studies showing large models wove into robotics instead of swallowing it—and trace what the evidence says about when robots reach daily life, whose jobs change first, and why the award stage looked less like a victory lap and more like a checklist of unsolved chores. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.

  • Tokens vs. Salaries: Is There a Level of AI We Shouldn't Pass?

    Tokens vs. Salaries: Is There a Level of AI We Shouldn't Pass?
    9 Oct 2026
    A conference report claims frontier-lab insiders are privately shortening their timelines and wondering if there's an intelligence level humanity shouldn't cross. Daniel and Emily argue about whether that phrase is a decision or a mood, what a compute cap could actually hold, what it means when token bills start looking like paychecks, and who owns the mess agents leave behind. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.
