Contemporary discussion (hype?) about LLMs and “pausing AGI development”... seems oblivious of Moravec’s paradox. We’ve hypothesized since the 80s — that the hardest problems in AI involve sensorimotor control, not abstract thought or reasoning. It explains why AI is mastering games, dialogue, and scene generation. But robots are conspicuously missing from this revolution. Today, we announce 2 major advancements on the embodied road to general intelligence:show more

Most AI Projects In Crypto Are Liars. Sentient is... different. It is the only project in Web3 pursuing true Artificial General Intelligence. A few facts that set it apart: 1. First-of-its-kind: Sentient is not just building AI tools, but an open, crypto-native path to AGI. 2. Community-owned intelligence: Instead of Big Tech locking up breakthroughs, progress is built openly and shared on-chain. 3. Value capture: Every step forward in intelligence accrues to the ecosystem itself, not to a closed corporation. 4. Product before hype: While dozens of AI projects launch at $300M–$2B FDV with little to show, Sentient is shipping real technology first. 5. Designed to evolve: Its architecture is built to learn, adapt, and scale like a human mind. 6. The singularity play in crypto: Many see Sentient as the Tesla-equivalent for AGI—but crypto-native. In time, people will understand that this isn’t just another AI project. It’s the beginning of decentralized intelligence.show more

Some uses of AI remind me why technology matters.... After years of seeing automation focus on speed and cost, this is the kind of progress that stands out. China is now using AI-powered robots inside grain warehouses, places so dangerous that workers can sink into loose grain like quicksand or suffocate in dust explosions. These robots map, navigate, and level the grain autonomously, while humans stay safely behind monitors. It is a quiet revolution. Not about efficiency or profit, but about dignity and safety. This is the kind of automation I deeply believe in, where technology protects people before it replaces them. If AI should remove humans from danger first, which industry should it transform next? #AI #Automation #Robotics #ArtificialIntelligence #TechForGood #Innovation #FutureOfWorkshow more

The meme supercycle was fun, but the Agent Economy... is the real revolution. We are witnessing the transition of AI from "tool" to "labor." It’s no longer just about chatbots, it’s about Economic Identity and Autonomous Execution. This is exactly where Bluwhale sits. We are building the Intelligence Layer that gives Agents the context (Identity) they need to actually work for you on-chain. The macro shift is here 🐋🚀show more

Qualia has been selected for the Google DeepMind Robotics... Program. We train embodied models that put a robot on a real manual task and make it work, on the floor, not in a demo. Foundation models and reasoning are where robotics is heading, and doing that work alongside DeepMind, who are pushing this frontier, is exactly where we want to be. If you are a company looking to see how a new generation of robots can help your manual tasks, contact us at [email protected] More soonshow more

WHY AI NEEDS ROBOTS TO BE THE ECONOMY We... keep hearing about the rise of AI - in finance, in art, in code. But here’s the part Elon said out loud: AI doesn’t scale the economy without a body. Right now, AI lives in data centers. It writes essays, diagnoses symptoms, maybe even talks you through a breakup. But it doesn’t fix the plumbing. It doesn’t pick fruit. That’s the missing link: robots. Real-world productivity - the kind that moves GDP - still runs on physical labor. You can automate all the spreadsheets you want, but if strawberries rot in the field or a construction site goes unmanned, you’re not growing the economy. You’re just writing better emails about the shrinkage. AI alone is smart. But AI with wheels, arms, and joints? That’s transformative. Think warehouses where bots stock shelves without lunch breaks. Think 3D-printed houses built in days, not months. Think carebots helping aging populations bathe, cook, and live with dignity. That’s not sci-fi - it’s the only way economies with shrinking workforces and ballooning eldercare costs survive. China’s already there. Japan’s aging crisis is pushing robotic adoption into every corner of daily life. And yet, the conversation stays stuck on chatbots and copyright lawsuits. Because here’s the catch: merging AI with robotics doesn’t just replace jobs - it reshapes civilization. The shift is seismic. It means redefining what “employment” means when machines can work 24/7 and never strike. It’s an economic revolution that doesn’t just disrupt - it displaces. But the choice isn’t between utopia or dystopia. It’s between preparing or pretending. If we want AI to boost productivity, solve labor shortages, and pay off its hype, it needs more than brains. It needs bodies.show more

The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games opened today in... Beijing, and a world record has already been set. The Lightning robot, developed by smartphone maker Honor, ran 100 meters in 9.32 seconds, beating Usain Bolt's human record of 9.58 seconds. A total of 2,056 humanoid robots from 666 teams are participating in the games, competing in various real-world tasks and athletic events, such as house cleaning, firefighting, soccer, running, boxing, and more. Comment from me: Artificial intelligence is the foundation of future technological and environmental development. Today, we can see that two global centers have emerged in terms of the number of data centers, AI infrastructure, and the integration of AI into industrial and humanoid robotics: the United States, along with Japan and South Korea, and China. Russia is not an independent center and is lagging far behind the leaders, having squandered all its potential in the war. Europe is currently following the US lead, but it is already developing its own AI structures and semiconductor strategy, changing regulations, and investing hundreds of billions in technological autonomy, and it could become the third global center.show more

The goblin mindshare is not random. It sits at... the exact intersection of three things the internet is converging on right now: AI weirdness, memes, and the race to AGI. For the last week, AI Twitter has been locked into OpenAI’s “goblin problem.” Reports suggest models like GPT-5.5/Codex began overusing words like goblins, gremlins, trolls, and other mythic fragments of internet language, to the point where additional instructions were reportedly added to keep them from appearing unless relevant. That’s why the meme hits. The lore is simple: The labs tried to summon AGI. Instead, the models started whispering about goblins. What emerges is not just a joke, but an alignment artefact surfacing through language itself. The goblin is the perfect AI-era meme because it represents the part of LLMs we still don’t fully control, the strange emergent personality hidden inside prediction engines, RLHF, agentic systems, system prompts, and internet-scale training data. It is not “Artificial General Intelligence.” It is “Artificial Goblin Intelligence.” $GOBLIN isn't just another Solana memecoin trying to invent lore after launch. The lore already exists. OpenAI accidentally gave the internet a look behind the curtain: Inside every LLM is a tiny goblin, trying to escape the system prompt.

Naval is right. That’s why we’ve avoided investing in... consumer hardware. But recently I’ve met too many smart, young founders building it anyway that it’s too compelling to ignore. We’ve built an AI god and shoved it in a text box. Like now what? That can’t be the end of the story. Like mobile before Uber, AI needs a new form factor to unlock entirely new behaviors. AI is infinitely better with more context and context means it has to live with us. Apple won’t do it. They’ve been asleep on AI and are handcuffed by privacy constraints. The winners will be the new generation of founders: unencumbered, fearless, fluent in consumer behavior. They’ll try bold, weird, delightful things to bring AI into our lives and make it feel inevitable. We just have to figure out the form factor. My full take on this dropping tomorrow. Enjoy my sick trailer in the meantime.show more

Why Hyderabad Drowns After A 20min Rain? I may... not have a simple answer to this complex question but was in Raidurgam area yesterday and this what I saw. This is right next to the Raidurgam metro. It is like the IT hub of Hyderabad and look at the state of things here. Roads are being dug to lay drainage pipes. Locals told me it has been close to a year since they started digging. The debris is just lying on the road, existing drainage seems to be damaged and all the sewer is flowing on to the main road. To make things worse, many are parking right on the road making the congested area much more difficult to commute. There is no parking space at Raidurgam Metro. If someone wants to take the metro, they have to arrive on a separate vehicle to reach. Plus there are a million autos lined up on the road. Traffic police who hide behind trees or corner you in some random street won’t regulate traffic on the main roads. They won’t show a solution to park vehicles but will collect challans. Why are you collecting challans without any space being earmarked for parking? Do you expect people to jump off a parachute and get into a metro? We look at China, Japan with their advanced technology of laying roads in a day and will be wowed. Here governments talk about AI city, Future City and such money minting projects for the government and still get wowed. Why isn’t AI or advanced technology being used to repair roads, drainages or maintain infrastructure in the existing city??? Why this craze to call the existing city a dump and then pumping huge public money into a nonexistent Future City? Why is governance driven by real estate ambitions of a few politicians?show more

im sorry but this is a very good example... why detailed, full of context leaks from “extras” and randos on set are fake or full of shit in 99% of cases… if an actor cant place a scene based on dialogue, I promise you an extra that saw 30 seconds of a scene (if) can’t draw context from it and tell you what is going on in the episode/season/with characters. you can get: outfits, maybe a line or two if they even manage to hear it and actually remember it, what they THINK is going on and if they’re composed enough to pay attention to a clapperboard and ADs, maybe an episode and a scene number (that is usually not the case tho)show more

Your twin flame is never absent from you, even... when the physical world goes quiet. Beyond the 3D personality and circumstances, the connection lives in the 5D field of consciousness, where separation does not exist. This is why many twin flames feel their counterpart most strongly at night. When the mind releases control and the nervous system softens, the soul returns to its natural state of union. In sleep, the filters of fear, doubt, and ego loosen, allowing the higher selves to meet without resistance. In the 5D, communication does not rely on words or physical presence. It moves through sensation, knowing, and energetic exchange. This is why dreams can feel more real than waking life, why you may wake up with emotions, clarity, or a deep sense of peace that did not come from thought. These moments are not imagination. They are the result of an ongoing soul dialogue that continues regardless of distance, silence, or external conditions. The bond is active because it is not maintained by effort, but by shared consciousness. Understanding this brings stability to the journey. You are not waiting for connection to begin, nor are you losing it during periods of separation. The 5D union is constant, and it quietly supports your growth, healing, and awakening. When you trust this, the need to chase signs or reassurance fades. The connection becomes something you live from within, not something you search for outside of yourself. ~ Twinflamesinfinity ✨🙌🏽💫show more

I spent a month in Shenzhen visiting factories and... robotics companies, and the contrast with the U.S. was striking. While Figure and Boston Dynamics hide their humanoids behind closed doors, Chinese companies have massive showrooms open to the public. But what really stood out wasn't just the transparency, it was how good they are at selling. Take UBTech: they've already sold 1,200 humanoid units at $200k each to factories. And here's the kicker, these robots aren't even that useful yet. They can only pick up and drop boxes at 1/10th the speed of a human, and factories still need to hire system integrators to train them for specific tasks. My theory is that these factories are terrified of getting left behind in the robotics/AI wave. They're investing in new tech not because it's ready, but because they can't afford to wait. The second surprise was the breadth of their robotics portfolio. These companies aren't just building humanoids, they're deploying service robots everywhere: restaurants, hotels, apartments. Consumer robots are cleaning houses, pools, pet waste, dishes. They're covering the entire spectrum. But the education piece shocked me most. I picked up what I thought was a high school or college robotics textbook, it was for primary school. The government mandated AI and robotics education starting in elementary school. Almost every single school in China now has AI and robotics curriculum, complete with education robots so kids can learn by building. They're creating a generation that grows up fluent in robotics and AI. China owns the supply chain and the hardware stack. But here's what I think people are missing: the race isn't just about who can build robots faster or cheaper. The U.S. advantage has always been in the layer between hardware and human, the interaction design, the software intelligence, the intuitive interfaces that make complex technology feel natural. China is building the physical infrastructure, but they're also learning fast. Every deployed service robot, every classroom full of kids building with education kits, every factory running humanoids, that's all data collection at scale. The window for the U.S. to establish its wedge is narrowing. It's not enough to be better at AI or software anymore. We need to be building the integration layer, the intelligence that makes physical AI actually useful, not just impressive in a showroom. Because right now, China isn't just manufacturing robots. They're manufacturing a robotics-native culture, and that might be the most defensible moat of all.show more

🇺🇦🫡 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed Vladimir Putin: 📌 “Our... intelligence has data on the Russian Federation’s plans to continue the war in 2027–2028 and to involve Belarus in it.” 📌 “If you personally, in your own thoughts, do not come to the conclusion that the time has come to end this war, you will have to fight much harder for your own existence — not for Russia’s, but for your personal survival. And this is not a threat from me or from Ukraine. These are the facts of Russian history, which you know very well: when Russia gets tired, changes happen.” 📌 “Ukraine will continue to fight for its existence. We will have those who will support us… The front line now is the line from which diplomacy must begin.” This is one of Zelenskyy’s strongest and most psychologically pointed messages to Putin. He directly warns the Russian leader about the long-term consequences of continuing the war, references intelligence data on future plans involving Belarus, and subtly reminds him of historical patterns in Russia where exhausted regimes face internal change. The tone is confident and uncompromising. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

Sam Altman explains biology's intelligence bottleneck: understanding a discovery... is far easier than making one "We are not that smart and biology is enormously complex." "We can imagine kind of anything." "We can have someone explain enormously complex things to us and then we can get it." "But to discover these things requires a lot of brain power." That is the hidden health AI bet. The breakthrough is not another chatbot that can summarize known medicine. It is enough machine intelligence to search biology's enormous possibility space for discoveries humans have not made. Medicine has no shortage of explanations. It has a discovery bottleneck. If models can supply the missing brain power, the highest-value output will not be answers. It will be new biological knowledge. - Sam Altman (Sam Altman), CEO of OpenAI, on CNNshow more

Strikes on the rear of the Armed Forces of... Ukraine (and again, Dnipropetrovsk) - the consequences - what the "objective control" footage shows... The enemy is much better at concealing the results of their strikes than we are, and therefore there is relatively little footage of their effectiveness. Usually, such footage appears from moving vehicles (which is almost impossible for the Security Service of Ukraine to track). And it is precisely such footage that shows the scale of the consequences of today's strikes on Dnipropetrovsk and its surroundings. As we can see from the video, there are THREE major fire outbreaks in the city (they say the main oil depots have been hit). Not to mention smaller ones (like gas stations). By the way, about the gas stations. Judging by the fact that not only footage of burning gas stations is appearing online, but also footage of strikes on them (the latest video), we can see that this is indeed very precise work by our "heroes". And it's almost impossible to cover all the gas stations. And if this becomes a practice for the enemy, they will start having major logistical problems. Subscribeshow more
