Technicians spent more than a week scanning and stabilizing “Gugusse and the Automaton" – which features, by the way, the first known moving image of what might be called a robot – so that it can now be enjoyed by anyone online!

In September 2025, a once believed lost film was found in a private collection in Western Pennsylvania and the box of old film reels was donated to the Library of Congress's National Audio-Visual Conservation Centre in Virginia. One of them was a nearly 130-year-old, long-lost film by iconic French filmmaker George Méliès. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. Technicians spent more than a week scanning and stabilising the French short silent film “Gugusse and the Automaton” (French: Gugusse et l'Automate also known as The Clown and the Automaton) ― which features, by the way, the first known moving image of what might be called a robot. A clip of the film can be viewed here: Video courtesy Library of Congress

Prosthesis is called 'the anti-robot' because it has no automation and is 100% controlled by the person inside via the exoskeletal interface. This is why it is what is known as a mech, not a robot [learn more, exosapientech:

Since the beginning of this horrific war, more than 8,000 Palestinians have been killed. I called for a cease fire to stop the violence so that humanitarian aid can be delivered and negotiations to release the hostages taken by Hamas can continue.

A government’s priorities are revealed by who it silences and who it indulges. If a march can be banned after 40 years, what other protests might be next? I wonder if another “Unite the Kingdom” march would be treated the same way?

Catholicism teaches that a non-catholic Christian, who left Roman Catholicism and rejects the teachings of their institution, can still be saved. Catholics in CCC 847 have invented another way by which a person can be saved, which denies the sovereignty and power of Almighty God!

ELON: AI AND ROBOTICS WILL ELIMINATE POVERTY AND TRANSFORM THE ECONOMY “There will be no shortage of products and services for anyone. Basically, anyone will be able to have any products they want. The productivity gains from AI and robotics are astounding to think about. I think it could increase the economy by a factor of 10 or more. It’ll eliminate poverty, and you really will be in a situation where anyone can have anything they want. The bigger challenge may be finding meaning in life. If a robot can do anything you can do, but better, how do you find meaning? That may be the biggest question.” Source: Haider.

🤯incredible,its playability and usability are outstanding. Tron2 is a LEGO robot. It can be assembled into various forms depending on the scenario, including bipedal, wheeled, and humanoid torso configurations, and its end effectors are also interchangeable. Each form of the robot is driven by a VLA model. It can perform complex movements and can also be integrated into existing workflows to perform tasks. It's worth mentioning that this solves the problem of which type of humanoid robot to use. Each user can assemble the robot in a configuration that suits their specific scenario, making it truly flexible and versatile – it doesn't necessarily have to be bipedal or wheeled... I look forward to seeing more real-world use cases.

ELON: OPTIMUS WILL PREPARE THE WAY FOR HUMANS ON MARS “We'll send the Optimus robot with the first flights to Mars, so we can go out there and explore and prepare the way for humans. That'll be a very cool image if we're able to achieve it by the launching end of next year. That would be an epic picture to see Optimus walking around on the surface of Mars. Assuming the first missions are successful and they land successfully, we would send humans on the next mission and we'd really start building the infrastructure for Mars. Maybe just to be safe, we might just do two landing episodes with the Optimus and do the third one with humans, we'll see.” SpaceX Update, May 27, 2025

Corporations that are purely AI and robotics will vastly outperform any corporations that have people in the loop You can think of it like how 'computer' used to be a job that humans had. You would go and get a job as a computer where you would do calculations. They had entire skyscrapers full of humans....20, 30 floors of humans...just doing calculations. Now, that entire skyscraper of humans doing calculations can be replaced by a laptop with a spreadsheet. That spreadsheet can do vastly more calculations than an entire building full of human computers So, you think about it: what if only some of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by humans? That would be much worse than if all of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by the computer. And so, really what will happen is the pure AI, pure robotics corporations or collectives will far outperform any corporations that have humans in the loop. It will happen very quickly
