The AIPAC officials need to all be removed from office. Not only do they all back a genocidal state but they also represent the establishment of America which has long sold out the American people for any price. In the US we need new blood with new more forward thinking perspectives and to start this process purging AIPAC backed members of government is good start. Not only is it a moral correct and good thing to do but it helps to get lobbyists out of government.

Genki Robotics, a new humanoid robotics startup, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. It's founded by Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, who was a Google executive for nine years. Rubin led Google’s robotics division during 2013–14, which included Boston Dynamics, which Google had acquired. Andy Rubin’s investment firm invested in Agility Robotics in 2018. Genki Robotics's vision "is to accelerate the integration of intelligent humanoids into society — augmenting human capability and shaping the future of work and service." The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and AMD, among others. Here's Andy Rubin in 2018 talking about why the bipedal form makes sense, with Agility's Cassie robot on stage

John toured NIO's factory in China. They built an upscale EV for under $10k and went from the first shovel in the ground to the first car off the line in just 17 months. He said China knew it would always be behind in ICE cars, so it pushed aggressively into EVs to leapfrog to the next technology and gain an advantage over the rest of the world. "Going to their factory and seeing, number one, how quickly that factory is built. And second, the factory automation -- much of the process was done via robotics. Looking at the auto plants we have in the US, we still have a plant that was originally built a 100 years ago, operating outside of Chicago. The average age of a US plant is roughly 40 years now. They've been upgraded over time but I don't think they replicate what's happening with robotics in China. This combination of being able to do things really quickly with a skilled but low-cost labor force and robotics has just allowed China to create a quality product at a price that nobody in the rest of the world's really been able to figure out yet."

How will USA compete with China in robotics? stash and his team have a huge answer. Rip out their OS and put an American-made OS into the Chinese robots. Let's be honest. America is not going to catch up to Chinese robotics companies. The Chinese ecosystem is far more advanced than even in San Francisco. I've been visiting as many in the San Francisco ecosystem as I can and they all tell me this is true, with the exception of Tesla. So, the world is about to be flooded with Chinese robots of all types. Do business people anywhere, whether they are in Europe, India, America, or Asia, want to gift all their data to the Chinese? No. Dimensional has the answer, and here I visit with Stash and his team who already have an OS running on a variety of Chinese robotics. And they are building a new kind of OS (I call it a World Model, but it doesn't matter what you call it, we are headed toward an AGI that can make a robot get smarter and smarter over time and do more and more things autonomously over time) and here Stash goes into his work and gives you a very intimate look into one of San Francisco's most interesting robotics startups I've met.

We have to face it. Robots will ultimately have a face. But why? The human face transmits information in a far more rapid manner than any other system. Working face to face with robots are going to require this signal. This is the face from AheafFrom robotics. For robotics companies that do not have human faces, I say best to start now or encourage an after market hobby garage builder face market. This is the way of it.

Elon Musk on AI, Robotics & Abundance: “With AI and robotics, this is the path to abundance for all If you want to solve global poverty or give everyone a very high standard of living, the only way to do that is AI and robotics That doesn’t mean it’s without risk. We have to be very careful… we don’t want to end up in a Terminator movie But if AI becomes ubiquitous and essentially free, and robotics is everywhere too, you’ll see an explosion in the global economy on a scale that’s hard to even comprehend” This is the future Elon is working toward

A student in Zurich sleeps in a camper van outside a hangar every night. Just to have more hours to build a humanoid robot. He’s obsessive. He's not alone. 2,500 students across Europe are getting into robotics right now. And now they united and just launched: ESRA, the European Student Robotics Association. 🇪🇺🦾 They are bringing together highly talented young people, give them space, give them resources and let them build. By now already 13 robotics clubs. 8 countries. 2,500+ students. I visited several of them over the last weeks to get to know them and let them tell their stories. We've also been helping behind the scenes where we can, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Several multiple billion dollar companies will come out of the ESRA network. Right here in Europe. If the Bay Area had a student robotics network like this, they would never shut up about it. Time we do the same. 😤🔥🇪🇺 It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent. Turns out they're already building. 🇪🇺

China's humanoid robotics market is on fire. With orders expected to top 30,000 units this year—a tenfold jump from 2024's total of less than 3,000—2025 is officially shaping up to be the "Year of Mass Production." This surge, driven by an expansion into new sectors like industrial manufacturing, logistics, and elder care, is reflected in a wave of new deals across the industry. Here's a look at some of the key commercial progress: Astribot: A 1,000-unit order for industrial and logistics deployment over two years. TianTai Robotics: Signed a major 10,000-unit order for caregiving robots. Noetix Robotics : Received over 2,000 intent orders in one month, valued at over 100 million yuan, with a focus on education and commercial performances. AgiBot: Expects to ship thousands of units this year and tens of thousands in 2026. Unitree Robotics: Has orders for thousands of units and is one of the most visible products in the industry. UBTech: Aims to deliver 500 industrial humanoids in 2025, with educational robot orders already exceeding 300 units. Robot Era: Delivered over 300 units by July 2025 with 500 more on hand. TLIBOT: Has around 1,000 intent orders. Galbot: Secured orders for its supermarket security robot, Galbot, in 100 stores. AI² Robotics: Has nearly 500 orders for its general-purpose robots for industrial and public service scenarios. But here’s the crucial reality check. While the order boom is exciting, it doesn't automatically translate to fulfilled deliveries. Many companies lack the production capacity to keep up. A significant portion of these are "intent orders" or framework agreements, not guaranteed sales. Furthermore, the market is heavily B2B-focused, with consumer demand representing only about 5% of sales. Some orders are even symbolic, for public relations or strategic purposes. This “order frenzy” is a starting point, not the finish line. The true test for China's humanoid robot industry isn't who can secure the biggest order, but who can consistently deliver on it and build a stable market for the future.

Excited to announce that Skild AI has completed the acquisition of Zebra Technologies’ robotics arm (formerly Fetch Robotics). By combining Zebra's human-robot orchestration platform with omnibodied Skild Brain, we plan to turn warehouses everywhere into hubs of hyper-efficiency. Imagine a single platform, single brain optimizing every movement of robots as well as human workers in warehouses. Many of us in the robotics community have used Fetch Robots in the past and have rooted for them over the years, so this acquisition is special for us in many ways.

Brothers and sisters, the time has come. This is the battle foretold in the pages of history—the battle between good and evil, between freedom and tyranny. For too long, the forces of corruption have lurked in the shadows, bleeding this great nation dry. They poison our economy, our culture, our very way of life. They sow division among us, turning Americans against each other while they tighten their grip on power. But no more. It’s time to rise. It’s time to take back what is ours. We are not just fighting for ourselves—we are fighting for the soul of this nation, for our children, for the generations to come. The Deep State, BlackRock, and their globalist allies have spent decades manipulating our economy, buying our politicians, and enslaving us under mountains of debt. They want us weak. They want us divided. They want us to forget who we are. But they have underestimated the American spirit. We are the sons and daughters of revolutionaries, of pioneers, of warriors who bled for this land and the ideals it stands for. We are the heartbeat of a free people, a nation under God, and we will not go quietly into the night. This is our moment. It is time to break the chains. It is time to root out the corruption that has infested this sacred land. We will fight, not with violence, but with an unbreakable will, with unity, with faith. We will not stop until justice is served, until every enemy of the American people is held accountable, until America is once again the shining city on a hill. This is not just a call to action—this is a call to destiny. Stand up, Patriots. The time is now.

The reason is that Indians hire other Indians. This creates the epiphenomenon of native occupational flight, which has been observed by the likes of Lord Elton since the 1960s. In towns and cities in Cornwall and Devon, places like Subway are often still staffed by young English people working part-time. In more diverse areas, they are not, not only because of the ethnic cronyism of those hiring, but also because they do not want to work with 40-year-old Indians. Not only is it an unappealing work environment for a native young person, who would prefer to work with their peers, but it is also seen as becoming tainted and low-status.

This place has a ton of specialized robots that do a variety of things for a variety of different businesses. sierra catalina will be happy, not a humanoid in it yet. But what they really are doing, beyond a community center for the robotics industry, is building an orchestration system for warehouses and factories and we get a good look at that too.

Tether is leading a landmark Series C financing round of up to $1.4 billion for NEURA Robotics, NEURA Robotics , representing one of the largest private investment rounds in humanoid robotics history. As robotics moves into true autonomy, payment and compute systems must evolve. Tether is deploying its core technologies directly into the Neuraverse ecosystem. By integrating our open-source Wallet Development Kit ( WDK), we are embedding self-custodial wallet functionality into advanced robots so they can independently participate in the economic system. Simultaneously, NEURA will deploy Tether’s QVAC edge-first AI runtime, allowing AI models to execute locally on-device rather than relying on remote cloud infrastructure. Together, Tether and NEURA Robotics are building the foundation for the machine economy.

Poland’s conservative President Karol Nawrocki tells Maria Bartiromo that Poland is thriving. Not just because of economic growth, but because they REFUSED to make the same two mistakes as all of the other countries in Western Europe. “This economic growth of Poland, which is noticed by all the countries, not only in Europe, but all over the world, is very radical.” “Poland also safe and secure, which is important. We did not make the mistakes about illegal migration, which affected west European countries.” “And we’re not going to repeat these mistakes.” “We do not want to make mistakes of Green Deal, which also has an impact on the economic life.”

Incredible, and maybe even unprecedented, answer by Arnaud Montebourg - former French Minister of Economy - to the question "what method do the Americans use to wage economic warfare against us?" Here's the translation (by me): "They use military tools. First of all, they use all the listening and intelligence systems that they built on after 9/11. They don't listen to terrorists...well they certainly do and that's very good...but they listen to foreign companies that compete with theirs. So it's very simple, it became clear in 2014 when Snowden revealed that there were 75 million conversations and emails that had been exploited by the NSA on France, on French companies. When Pierucci - a man who should wear the Legion of Honor today because he defended France rather than its interests by agreeing to serve two unjustified years in prison in US jails in the Alstom affair... when Mr. Pierucci was taken into custody in Manhattan by the prosecutors they put under his nose 1 million emails. How did they get 1 million emails? By illegal eavesdropping. 1 million emails: it would have taken a lawyer 3 years to read through them… so he couldn't defend himself. So those are the military tools. Second, they have a tool called extraterritorial law. The Americans are using a form of law, which is an imperialist law, which consists in declaring themselves competent for matters which in no way concern them. Example: Alstom, a contract between Indonesia and a French company. They consider that there was an offense that was committed in this matter 10 years ago and they sue Alstom! The United States is not a victim, no American company was involved in this case. They declare themselves policeman of the world by undermining the sovereign interests. Therefore this is interference. They do it in ALL fields, and especially the economic field. For example ITAR. ITAR is interesting: the United States has set a list of 22,000 components on which it grants itself the right to authorize or not the export by a foreign power. Example: you buy a varnish to put on the wing of the Rafale [a French fighter plane] which is on the ITAR list because it is not produced in France but in the US or elsewhere... because of this single varnish they allow themselves the right to say: 'you have the right to export to such and such a country, but not to this one because it is an enemy of the United States of America'. Why should I care if he's an enemy of the United States of America? The enemies of my allies are not necessarily my enemies! Example: they banned the export of Rafales to Egypt because of ITAR. Is that so, and why? So our urgency should be to produce these 22,000 products in France... Or in Europe, in allied countries which are also victims of ITAR. This is a sovereign policy. I can also tell you about the American Patriot Act. 2001, September 11, what do they do? When a French company is bought by an American company, the American government has the unilateral power to request all the information on a company controlled by an American company. Absolutely all the information: patents, technologies, people, etc. Without any motivation and without judicial authorization, which means that these are illegal searches. This is why in the affair of the takeover of the valves which equip our nuclear submarines and power stations - the Segault valves which are manufactured in Mennecy, Essonne - I intervened by saying 'it is out of question that this business goes under American control' and it is now a company that is controlled by Canadians. Canadians do not have extraterritorial rights, it is not an issue to work with Canadians. But Americans are different because they are predators. This is the reason why I said 'it is out of the question that Segault, who equips our nuclear submarines, gives our information to a foreign power'. Because Canadians do not have the right to do so, if they do it is criminal. But for Americans it is the law to do so!"

Example: Alstom, a contract between Indonesia and a French company. They consider that there was an offense that was committed in this matter 10 years ago and they sue Alstom! The United States is not a victim, no American company was involved in this case. They declare themselves policeman of the world by undermining the sovereign interests. Therefore this is interference. They do it in ALL fields, and especially the economic field. For example ITAR. ITAR is interesting: the United States has set a list of 22,000 components on which it grants itself the right to authorize or not the export by a foreign power. Example: you buy a varnish to put on the wing of the Rafale [a French fighter plane] which is on the ITAR list because it is not produced in France but in the US or elsewhere... because of this single varnish they allow themselves the right to say: 'you have the right to export to such and such a country, but not to this one because it is an enemy of the United States of America'. Why should I care if he's an enemy of the United States of America? The enemies of my allies are not necessarily my enemies! Example: they banned the export of Rafales to Egypt because of ITAR. Is that so, and why? So our urgency should be to produce these 22,000 products in France... Or in Europe, in allied countries which are also victims of ITAR. This is a sovereign policy. I can also tell you about the American Patriot Act. 2001, September 11, what do they do? When a French company is bought by an American company, the American government has the unilateral power to request all the information on a company controlled by an American company. Absolutely all the information: patents, technologies, people, etc. Without any motivation and without judicial authorization, which means that these are illegal searches. This is why in the affair of the takeover of the valves which equip our nuclear submarines and power stations - the Segault valves which are manufactured in Mennecy, Essonne - I intervened by saying 'it is out of question that this business goes under American control' and it is now a company that is controlled by Canadians. Canadians do not have extraterritorial rights, it is not an issue to work with Canadians. But Americans are different because they are predators. This is the reason why I said 'it is out of the question that Segault, who equips our nuclear submarines, gives our information to a foreign power'. Because Canadians do not have the right to do so, if they do it is criminal. But for Americans it is the law to do so!"

A Few Thoughts on Robotics The criticism that robotics can only be used in a rather one-sided way is, at the same time, the solution to the problem. What do I mean by that? Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity has increasingly made production methods more efficient. Fordism introduced assembly line work, but this comes at the expense of monotonous, repetitive tasks. On the one hand, immense wealth has been created; on the other hand, countless people suffer from repetitive tasks, which are a direct consequence of that industrial revolution and the division of labor- in other words, assembly line work. The debate about whether AI and robotics could impact the labor market is answered in different ways. I have a clear opinion on this: Up to now, technology has merely been an augmentation, an improvement of human labor to make it more effective. Robotics and AI, however, represent a qualitative break with this situation. For the first time in human history, it won't be humans who become more efficient, but rather replaceable, insofar as human augmentation becomes *less* efficient than replacing human labor with robotics. In just a few years, a human using technology will simply be less efficient than a robot that doesn't know an eight-hour day, weekends, or holidays, but can perform monotonous tasks 24/7 on an assembly line without breaking down due to physical ailments or needing medical attention. Wear and tear simply means replacing specific parts of the robot. To return to the initial question: production doesn't require general-purpose robots capable of performing a wide variety of tasks, but rather specialized robots that excel at the specific tasks for which they are needed. Figure02 vividly illustrates why this is only now possible: even the simplest assembly line work still requires delicate manual dexterity because the production line is designed for human hands. This breakthrough has now arrived, but AGI (Automated Generating Intelligence) isn't necessary for robots to be used in production processes. It's sufficient that they can perform monotonous tasks. And that's why I believe 2026 will be the year of the robots. (Clip: Figure02 in production chain at BMW Car-production)

We had an incredible experience at the Kennedy Space Center for the @SpaceForceDoD 75th Anniversary Legacy of Launch Gala! Our robot, ADAM, showcased its cutting-edge AI and robotics capabilities to industry leaders, starred military figures, astronauts, and top investors in the space sector. This event not only marked our company’s first engagement in the space industry, but it also gave us the opportunity to present our robots directly to key decision-makers who can help bring our advanced solutions to Earth-based challenges. We’re excited for the doors this opens for future collaborations in the space and robotics industries. #SpaceForce75 #AI #Robotics #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #LegacyOfLaunch NASA's Kennedy Space Center

So many robotics companies trying to solve everything at once… Last year I talked to Nima Gard, Director of AI at Path Robotics about this… Doing one thing really really well. They went after welding. Today they’re introducing Rove™, which embodies Obsidian™ (Path's physical AI model for manufacturing) on a legged mobile platform. The result is the intelligence to autonomously weld with the mobility to bring the worker to the work. Path Robotics (Columbus, Ohio) has raised more than $300 million in venture capital to build autonomous AI-powered welding cells. I think the tech is pretty impressive and video really cool. Congrats guys! Credit: Path Robotics
