Welding robots. The original use case for industrial automation—first deployed in the 1960s at GM. 60 years later, they dominate automotive body shops. Hundreds of robots in perfect sync, laying thousands of spot welds per vehicle. But step outside high-volume production and they're rare. Most fab shops still weld...

Elon Musk says every new chip fab takes five years from start to volume. Every AI company on Earth needed more chips by 2030. OpenAI. Anthropic. Google. Meta. Each one had built the budget. The chips didn't exist yet. Capacity through 2030 had already been booked at every major fab. "I ask TSMC or Samsung, okay, what's the timeframe to get to volume production?" Break ground. Climb the yield curve. Reach volume. Each stage took at least a year, and the curve refused to flatten. Yield meant percent of wafers that ship. Yield meant survival. Then Musk dropped the actual number. "That, from start to finish, is a five-year period." Musk gave the constraint a name: **the five-year fab clock**. Five years. No shortcuts. Musk, who had prepaid TSMC and Samsung through 2030, knew the clock. His own AI5 chip targets production in 2026's second quarter. A new fab needed to break ground, install ASML tools, train tens of thousands of operators, run pilot wafers, debug each process step, and ramp from one wafer per day to fifty thousand. TSMC Taiwan. Samsung Korea. TSMC Arizona. Samsung Texas. All booked. Every shovel of dirt accounted for. After Musk drew the clock, every 2027 AI promise became unfulfillable. Compute would have to wait for cement to dry. Musk, on the suppliers who were trying: "They're going balls to the wall, as fast as they can. It's still not fast enough."

Elon Musk reveals Tesla is building a 30,000-robot academy where humanoids learn from each other. Cars were easy. Tesla had ten million on the road, beaming back driving data every second. But humanoid robots? There weren't ten million Optimi yet. There weren't ten. Robotics had run data-starved for decades. Tesla decided to fix it. You couldn't train a humanoid that had never been deployed. So Musk built a school for them instead. "We can have at least 10,000 Optimus robots, maybe 20-30,000, that are doing self-play and testing different tasks." Tesla called it the Optimus Academy. Picture a warehouse the size of a chip fab. Thirty thousand humanoid robots inside. Picking things up. Folding clothes. Walking. Tripping. Catching themselves. Failing in ways no human roboticist had thought to script. Each watching the others, learning what the human body shouldn't have made look easy. Every move generated a data point. Every failure generated a sample. Every robot taught every other robot. In simulation, Tesla could spin up a million robots overnight. But simulated physics lied about friction, slip, and drift. Real physics didn't. Cars learned from drivers. Optimi learned from each other. Each generation made the next one cheaper, faster, smarter. By the tenth generation, no human would recognize the curriculum. Recursive learning at electromechanical scale. Musk, on closing the loop: "You use the tens of thousands of robots in the real world to close the simulation to reality gap." Whoever opened the academy first owned the species. P.S.

500 humanoid robots replacing humans in high-voltage operations What does that look like? Steel against steel,instead of flesh and blood. This marks a turning point for China’s State Grid, shifting from human-based maintenance to autonomous operations. This year, State Grid announced plans to procure 8,500 embodied AI robots, with a total budget of RMB 6.8 billion (~$1 billion). These robots will be deployed across four major scenarios: power inspection, live-line operations, emergency response, and warehouse logistics,covering more than 600 specific task scenarios. Among them, humanoid robots for live-line operations are the most expensive and strategically critical: 500 units with a budget of RMB 2.5 billion (~$370 million). They will be deployed in distribution network live-line work and ultra-high-voltage (UHV) projects, replacing humans in high-risk tasks. Workers will transition into supervisory roles, ready to take over remotely when needed. As early as last year, State Grid had already validated the feasibility of humanoid robots for substation inspection. Tienkung can autonomously perform inspection tasks at a State Grid substation in Beijing. Of course, suppliers are not limited to X-Humanoid,players like Unitree, AGIBOT, DeepRobotics, UBTECH, and Fourier are all involved. These 500 humanoid robots will also collaborate with 5,000 inspection quadruped robots and 3,000 dual-arm wheeled robots for indoor substation maintenance,together forming an intelligent, automated, and collaborative network for autonomous grid operations. What does this change? According to State Grid, each embodied AI unit can save RMB 500,000 to 800,000 (~$70,000–$110,000) in annual labor costs, with a payback period of around 2–3 years. Inspection efficiency increases by 5x, fault response time is reduced by 60%, and power supply reliability improves by 0.5 percentage points. More importantly, over 90% of human exposure to high-risk operations can be eliminated, reducing safety incidents by 80%. At another level, for humanoid robot companies, the center of R&D and iteration is shifting to the customer site. Real-world physical interaction becomes the fastest feedback loop,accelerating innovation and evolution. And 8,500 units are just the beginning of scaled deployment. Based on current plans, embodied AI robots will cover 30% of key areas in State Grid by 2026, 80% of high-risk operation scenarios by 2027, and enable fully autonomous operations by 2030. The demand roadmap is clear: define use cases ->deploy at scale->improve models and robots->expand further. 8,500… 50,000… 100,000… But remember,power grids are just one part of China’s vast infrastructure system. The experience of autonomous robotic operations here can be replicated across other sectors, such as broader energy systems. That, in itself, is another story. P.S.The video shows Tienkung 1.0 autonomously performing substation inspection tasks (2025).

NEWS: Figure has unveiling its 3rd generation humanoid robot. • Features a completely redesigned sensory suite and hand system. Wireless charging in feet. • Next-generation vision system engineered for high-frequency visuomotor control. Its new camera architecture delivers twice the frame rate, one-quarter the latency, and a 60% wider field of view per camera within a more compact form factor • Soft goods, wireless charging, improved audio system for voice reasoning, and battery safety advancements • "Engineered from the ground-up for high-volume manufacturing. In order to scale, we established a new supply chain and entirely new process for manufacturing humanoid robots at BotQ." • Lower manufacturing cost • Softer, more adaptive fingertips increase surface contact area, enabling more stable grasps across objects of varied shapes and sizes. Each fingertip sensor can detect forces as small as three grams of pressure - sensitive enough to register the weight of a paperclip resting on your finger. • Multi-density foam to protect against pinch points, and is covered in soft textiles rather than hard machined parts. 9% less mass and less volume than Figure 02 • 10 Gbps mmWave data offload capability, allowing the entire fleet to upload terabytes of data • Upgraded audio hardware system for better real time speech-to-speech. Its speaker is twice the size and nearly four times more powerful, while the microphone has been repositioned for improved performance and clarity. • Charging coils in the robot’s feet allow it to simply step onto a wireless stand and charge at 2 kW Figure: "BotQ is Figure’s dedicated manufacturing facility designed to scale robot production. BotQ’s first-generation manufacturing line will initially be capable of producing up to 12,000 humanoid robots per year, with the goal of producing a total of 100,000 robots over the next four years. Instead of relying on contract manufacturers, Figure brought production of its most critical systems in-house to maintain tight control over quality, iteration, and speed."

Elon just confirmed how long every working human has left before the robots take over. "AI will probably increase the global economy by 20 to 30%. That's my rough estimate. Meaning, on the order of 20 to 30 trillion per year." So that's a second United States economy appearing out of thin air, EVERY single year. And Elon's whole point is that the machines produce it, not the people. He even gave us the exact date for the digital half: "AI will be able to do anything digital, anything that does not require the shaping of atoms by hand, by the end of next year." By the end of next year... And on software specifically: "It's going to be impossible for a human to compete in writing software with AI." So every coder, every analyst, every job that lives on a screen is on a 12 to 18 month timer, straight from the richest man alive. But that's only the part that runs on electricity. And this is where it gets crazy... "There will be at least a billion robots in 10 years, and each will produce at least five times the output of a human." "The billion humanoid robots will be more productive than all humans combined." A billion machines, out-working ALL 8 billion of us. And he put a deadline on it: 10 years. And he even called that estimate small. So the version where robots out-produce the entire human race is the number he treats as safe. He said he'd bet serious money on it. But how does a billion of anything get built that fast? Robots building robots building robots. It starts slow and then it goes vertical. That’s how a few thousand becomes a billion. Elon also explained his own formula for how useful a robot actually is. He said it's the quality of the AI software, times the quality of the AI chip, times the dexterity of the hands. Software and chips are the exact things Elon and Nvidia have spent a decade making exponential. The third one is the hand. And the hand is the thing robotics has been stuck on for 40 years. A machine can crush the best human alive at chess and still can't pick a strange object off a messy table the way a toddler can. Grip, pressure, touch, knowing how hard to squeeze. That problem has barely moved while everything digital went vertical. The thing he named as the hard part is the exact thing his whole 10 year number depends on. So it all comes down to one variable, and it's the slowest-moving one in the entire machine: The robot hand. The brain is basically solved. The fingers have to catch up to it this decade, at planetary scale. Now to be fair, this is also where the most money on Earth is pointed right now. Tesla and a dozen others are throwing everything at exactly this problem. Elon's software calls tend to land but his atoms calls tend to fail. Because anything physical always takes longer than anything digital. He's also made this exact robot call before with wildly different numbers, 10 billion of them by 2040 in one speech, five per human in another. So here's the real question: Do you believe robot hands get solved inside 10 years? Because that one bet is the core of Elon‘s prediction. Everything else already came true.

Elon Musk revealed why the economy will be 10X its size in 10 years: 1. We are already inside a hard takeoff. Every time Musk goes to sleep there is a massive AI breakthrough. When he wakes up there is another one. This is not approaching. It is happening right now. 2. AI is already building the next version of itself. Every successive model is built by the one before it. Humans are gradually being removed from the loop. Full automation of this process could arrive by end of this year. 3. The 10x economy in 10 years is his comfortable prediction. AI and robots will increase economic output by orders of magnitude. The only thing that stops it is a world war. Absent that, 10x in 10 years. 4. Human intelligence will become a microscopic minority. Not just on Earth but in the solar system. The intelligence that could run on available solar energy is so far beyond current human capacity that Musk says it will simply solve every problem humans can think of. 5. Output per person will become almost unbelievable. Tesla is not planning layoffs. They are growing their headcount. But what each person produces with AI assistance will reach numbers that are currently hard to even imagine. 6. Universal high income is coming, not universal basic income. AI and robots will produce so many goods and services so fast that they will outrun the money supply entirely. Prices fall. Everything gets cheaper. Eventually robots run out of things humans even want. 7. Money will eventually stop being relevant altogether. AI will not use human currency. It will care only about power and mass. Wattage and tonnage. Musk acknowledged the irony: just as he becomes the richest person on earth, money starts losing its meaning. 8. Everyone on earth will have better healthcare than the richest person alive today. Musk made this personal. He had neck surgery three times because the first two were done wrong. His back still hurts. He is allegedly the richest person on earth and still cannot get it fixed properly. AI solves this for everyone. 9. Optimus 3 production starts this summer. He calls it by far the most advanced robot in the world with nothing close. Slow volume this summer, high volume by next summer, a new robot design every year after that. 10. Progress in AI follows overlapping S curves. Each breakthrough looks like it will go to infinity, then hits diminishing returns, then another breakthrough resets the curve. We are not at the end of these curves. We are somewhere in the middle of a very long series of them.

People don't realize that factories in Asia and factories in the USA are totally different. I think AI is going to help the Asian factories much more than the American ones. Factories in Asia are high mix. Factories in the USA are low mix. This means that factories in the USA make significantly fewer products, whereas factories in Asia are way more flexible, mainly because of the huge differential in labor costs. The gigafactory in Austin, one of the biggest factories in the world, makes 2 products: Tesla Model Y The Cybertruck That's it. The factory in the video makes 1000s of different products every year. When you're making the same thing over and over again, maybe in a few different colors, you're much better off using normal automation which is lower error than AI and human design. But when you're making 1000s of different products, using AI to spin up product 1001 starts to kind of make sense. There is not time or logic to using traditional automation; you're better off using AI to make a fast quality control mechanism and then repair errors using your inexpensive human labor. People are viewing AI in factories like there is one type of factory, but the way factories run in high cost countries vs. low cost countries is wildly different. We're just at the beginning of what will be an epic change for not only manufacturing, but the cost and quality of the goods we consume. The real internet of things has arrived.

Robotics Expert on How Robots Learn: At First Much Slower Than Humans, Then Infinitely Scalable Agility Jonathan Hurst: “I don't believe that there's a singularity. I do believe that things are going to get better and better. Think of it more like a snowball picking up steam going down a hill. But the reason that it's snowballing like this is because people are putting money, and resources, and engineering time, and engineering effort in as they explore everything and start to figure all of this stuff out. Humans, for example, we've evolved to learn. We are very good at learning, and it takes very little data to show us how to do something, and then we practice and practice, iterate. Robots are not very good at learning yet. Robots take so much more data and so many more examples than a person. We're still figuring out how to teach robots how to learn. But one of the benefits that robots have in the long run is they have Wi-Fi. When you learn how to play the violin, you can't just load that to somebody else and then they know how to play the violin based on your learnings. Robots will be able to do that. @jason: “One robot learns to play violin, all robots know how to play a violin.” Jonathan Hurst: “Or all robots of that type know how to play the violin, right?

What's the number one mistake that people make about satiety? Also, how can chicken breast and broccoli be high satiety per calorie (SPC), if people do not really feel full eating them? This may be the biggest misunderstanding that stops people from using satiety to lose weight and improve their metabolic health. As Ted ⚡️ Naiman shares in this clip, the fundamental misunderstanding is mixing up satiety with satiety per calorie. The best way to get a lot of satiety? Go to a buffet and eat a lot of everything you see. You'll get a lot of satiety, but at a cost of thousands and thousands of calories. Now, if you instead eat extremely high satiety per calorie foods, lets say egg whites and broccoli, you will likely not eat a lot of food. You'll probably end up eating quite few calories. So few, in fact, that you won't feel all that much satiety. In the latter case you ate super-high satiety per calorie foods, but very few calories. Therefore, the satiety you feel still isn't that high. Think of it like this. The higher the satiety per calorie number of the foods you eat, the fewer calories you're likely to end up eating. Period. However, the goal should not be to eat the very lowest number of calories you can. You can eat too little, and that won't make you feel your best. For example, eat only skinless chicken breast (76) and broccoli (89), and your average satiety per calorie may be 80. You'll eat very few calories and sure, you'll lose weight. But it will probably be fairly miserable. It's just too high, too effective. The goal should be to find a good balance for you. If you're looking for weight loss, that might be in the 50-70 range of average satiety per calorie. That's it for today. Don't mistake satiety and satiety per calorie. They are different ways of looking at things. Find the right balance for you. Not too high. Not too low. Just right. Or like we say in Sweden: Lagom. What's your favorite SPC range?
