Two years ago, Wang Xingxing launched the Unitree H1... humanoid robot. Instead of a mere prototype demonstration, he made the robot immediately available for purchase. At the time, the decision seemed audacious. Why would anyone buy a full-sized humanoid at that stage? As it turned out, the H1 and subsequent Unitree models became the preferred platforms for researchers worldwide. This bold strategy advanced China's position in the global robotics race, while the affordability of high-performance hardware has accelerated progress across the field by enabling broader experimentation in embodied AI.show more

The Pentagon has already requested more funding for the... war in Iran than the US has spent on Ukraine. To continue the war in Iran and urgently replenish depleted weapons reserves, the Department of Defense has requested more than $200 billion from Congress, reports The Washington Post. That's more than the US has spent in over four years supporting Ukraine—$188 billion. However, sources told the newspaper that members of Congress are unlikely to grant the Pentagon this funding. Master strategist Trump will have planned all of this meticulously.show more

In the future, it might just be humanoid robots... doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.show more

The Potential of Humanoid Robots for Home Use (No... Ranking) Soon, we'll begin to experience the convenience of these humanoid robots as life assistants in airports, high-speed rail stations, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, laundries, nursing homes, and other service locations. Over time, as humanoid robot models evolve, deployment scales, and costs decrease, perhaps they will gradually enter people's homes. When will this happen? Technology always outpaces user adoption, which requires considerable effort.show more

The world just paid $2 trillion for a rocket... company that lost $4.9 billion last year. And the rockets are not why it lost the money. They are the only part making any. SpaceX went public Friday, the largest IPO in history. Up 19%, a $2 trillion valuation, Elon Musk the first trillionaire. Then you open the filing. Three businesses sit inside it. Starlink, the satellites, brought in $11.4 billion, 61% of all revenue, and $4.4 billion in profit. It is the only piece that earns a dollar. The rockets that land themselves run a small loss reinvesting in Starship. And the AI arm, Grok plus the app once called Twitter, folded in this February, lost $6.4 billion in a single year on $12.7 billion of spending. Read that again. The satellites pay for everything. The AI loses more than the satellites make. And the AI is the part the market fell in love with. It gets bolder. The prospectus claims a total market of $28.5 trillion, the largest any company has ever put in a filing. Larger than the GDP of the United States. That is the number underwriting a $2 trillion price tag built on a division bleeding $6 billion a year. Now the structure. About 4% of the company trades. That sliver sets the price for all of it. Musk is locked up for 366 days and holds roughly 80% of the votes. The public bought a company they cannot steer, priced on the one segment losing the most. This is the whole year in one ticker. The profit is satellites. The story is AI. The market bought the story. The rockets were never the risk. The risk is a $2 trillion price resting on the one bet that has yet to make a cent.show more

‼️🇩🇪 BREAKING | The German government has approved the... draft for a 2027 "super-militaristic" state budget. Under this plan, the core defense budget is set at €105.8 billion. This will be supplemented by €27.5 billion mobilized into a special defense fund—a result of abolishing the "debt brake" mechanism—plus €11 billion allocated for direct defense budgetary assistance to Ukraine. ​Additionally, €58.2 billion has been earmarked for indirect defense spending focused on the modernization of logistics and infrastructure (ports, airfields, highways, and bridges). Consequently, it is fair to say that in 2027, Germany will spend over €200 billion on defense and defense-related matters. ​Crucially, this is not a one-time surge. Defense spending is projected to leap forward annually, bolstered by the removal of the debt brake and the potential to mobilize €500 billion in loans for the defense sector. This will significantly increase the net defense budget, which could potentially reach €300–350 billion per year within the next 3 to 5 years. Video is made Grok AIshow more

Chinese Official Reportedly Seeks Political Asylum at Paris Olympics... A widely circulated rumor on Chinese social media suggests that a major scandal might erupt involving the CCP at the Paris Olympics. According to the rumor, Yuan Haoran(袁昊然), a Chinese representative to FINA (the International Swimming Federation), is expected to apply for political asylum and not return to China. Currently, this information cannot be verified. However, it is confirmed that all of Yuan Haoran's posts on Weibo have been deleted, and his account has been closed. I just searched, and criticism against him is already appearing on Chinese internet, accusing him of "biting the hand that feeds him," speaking for foreigners, and so on. Yuan Haoran is the former Director of the Swimming Department of the General Administration of Sport of China and currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Fencing Department. This video shows footage of him being interviewed in China in 2017. P1 is a photo of Yuan Haoran, and P2 shows that he had 156K followers on Weibo and 3275 posts.

UNUSUAL China begins building the “New Three Gorges” China... has announced the launch of a major new project — the construction of the “Three Gorges” waterway on the Yangtze River, which will include the largest navigation gate in the world. The project, costing 77.2 billion yuan (£11.4 billion), includes a new navigation channel at the Three Gorges Dam — the largest engineering project in the world — as well as an expansion of the dam’s capacity at Gezhouba downstream on the Yangtze. It is designed for vessels of up to 10,000 tons. This is the first major national project to be launched under China’s 14th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030), and it comes after ten years of research and planning studies. It is being built due to the rising volume of transport along the Yangtze River — China’s main inland shipping artery. Once completed, the annual capacity of the “Three Gorges” will double, exceeding 336 million tonsshow more

🇩🇰 A review by Denmark’s state auditors found that... the Ministry of Defence lacked a full overview of the costs associated with the purchase of the first 27 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets and failed to adequately inform parliament about rising expenses, DR reports. The aircraft were originally projected to cost 57.1 billion kroner ($8.81 billion), a figure the ministry continued to use until January despite receiving indications over the past decade that the final bill would be significantly higher. The total cost has now risen by about 14 billion kroner ($2.2 billion). The ministry accepted the criticism and said it would more closely monitor costs related to Denmark’s later purchase of 16 additional F-35s, bringing the fleet to 43 aircraft.
