Google Defies Doubters, Leads AI with Video Data
You are an AI OG if you can remember the days when everyone said Google was doomed and would never lead in AI. They aren’t saying that anymore. And who has the most video data to build world models, which will run robotics? Google. Huge day today for AI world.
AI “Grok” Chooses Next Startup Interviews
My first reader now is Grok. (It watches my videos and reads my posts and decides whether to distribute them to you). So which startups does Grok want me to interview next? Answer: https://t.co/LPuhKb4Iet Thanks Grok, working on this list!
Video-Trained World Models Will Accelerate Robot Intelligence
VLA's are like LLMs, but trained off of videos. I call them world models, because I don't like acronyms, but either way, they mean robots are getting smarter fast. The researchers I hung out with last week say that robots...
New Grok to Power X and Humanless Tesla Robotaxi
New Grok. Less slop. This is important because this new model will be running the algorithm here on X soon. Or at least a lightweight version therein. And it will be running so many other things, particularly Tesla's Robotaxi network....
Stop Using AI to Write Your Resume and Cover Letter
Job seekers are hurting themselves by using AI mindlessly. @alliekmiller echoes what other HR people are telling me. Don't use AI to write your cover letter or your resume. They have tools that can tell when you are using AI...
Open, Safe, Factual LLMs Are Essential for AI Safety
What is the state of the art of AI safety? Very interesting talk by XXXXX at @mbzuai (the first only-AI university in the world in Abu Dhabi) that I recorded last week by professor @preslav_nakov. This goes into depth on...
AI Triumphs Over Human in Abu Dhabi Motorsport
The AI beat the human. @A2RLeague is exciting. The crowd was pulling for the human. But alas. Exciting Motorsport here in Abu Dhabi. Shows that robots can now compete with humans in Motorsport in a head-to-head race. Here are the final two laps. https://t.co/EKhH2DyVpp
360‑Camera World Models Will Make Robots Smart Soon
How weird is my life? This morning @boosterobotics head of global markets (Chinese humanoid robots) was sitting at the table next to mine in Abu Dhabi. He agrees with me that world models are about to change robotics deeply and that 360...
360° Vision Beats Human‑Like Sensors in Robots
It is stupid that a robot needs to “aim” to see things. The robot industry still hasn’t figured out that a 360-degree camera is superior. Same with humanoid robots. A 360-degree camera is far superior to the ones @1x_tech put in theirs. It...
Short‑Lived AI Boosts Privacy, Sparks Accountability Dilemmas
What is ephemeral intelligence? @IrenaCronin and I cover this in our newsletter this week, which makes on AI themes. Ephemeral intelligence refers to short lived AI agents designed to perform a single task with minimal context and then delete themselves completely. They...

Luckily new AIs are on their way. Active inferencing and cognitive architectures. That will lead to safe humanoids soon.
Meta's AI Glasses Fall Short versus Superior Chinese Rivals
This is why I was so disappointed in Meta’s new display AI glasses. It had one shot to compete with the Chinese and it fell flat. These are way better.
Autonomous Cars Outpace Humans, Racing to the Future
In San Francisco we fight robots. In Abu Dhabi they race them. Already they are faster than human pro drivers. I will be there Saturday for the finals to understand how autonomous vehicles can go faster than humans.
UAE Mandates All Robot Data Stored Locally, Any Origin
I just met the head of AI for United Arab Emirates and he told me if anyone wants to sell a robot there they must store all data in its datacenters. Whether Chinese or American.

Compare Rapidly Evolving AI Agent Platforms Every Few Months
There are developer AI’s for AI agents like @FactoryAI or @cursor_ai. More than 1,000 of this on my lists here on X. Then there are more generalized platforms like @genspark_ai, @ManusAI, @n8n_io, @flowith_ai, @Pokee_AI which are better for running agents for...
Mobile AI Apps Are Reviving Consumer Innovation
I am flying to Abu Dhabi tomorrow. So bummed I am missing this. But today I got one of the best interviews of my career with @ekuyda. Video up tomorrow. Her new app on iPhone, @wabi is so awesome. Let’s you build...
Government Should Fund AI, Requiring Shared IP
Yesterday I said the government shouldn't invest in OpenAI. There's another side to that coin, of course. My mom always taught me to be able to argue both sides of an argument. And we are competing with China, which has...
Google Announces Game‑Changing AI Infrastructure Expansion
Google is making HUGE moves in AI infrastructure. I got the press release this morning that @TeksEdge shares. It is one of the most stunning press releases I've ever gotten and I get a lot.
Automate Video Learning with AI Agents, Skip Watching

Reinforcement Learning Boosts AI Agents Beyond LLMs
Good morning world model fans. Today I put up a video with founder of @Pokee_AI who has a very different, and better than the others, way to make AI agents work better. Uses reinforcement learning and not just LLMs. More like how...
Prioritize Robotics Over OpenAI in US Funding
If @kscalelabs robotics can't get funding, why should the US government prop up OpenAI? In the competition with China having a strong robotics ecosystem is far more important than keeping an LLM builder up and running. The technology under robotics is changing...
Open‑source Robotics Lets Anyone Swap World Models
Out of the fire rises a Phoenix. Now they need a World Model (er a VLA) and then an open source robot makes sense to me as a business. Will be watching to see if this new effort can put...

American OS to Counter China’s Robot Data Dominance
How will USA compete with China in robotics? @stash_pomichter 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....
Grok Gains Memory: Remembers Past Conversations
Grok now remembers. Tell it something in this post. Then when you talk to it again it will remember what you talked about.
Personal AI Firewalls Guard Local Models From Data Leaks
I'm evolving my thinking about privacy. Each of us has stuff that we don't want to "leak" into models. Intellectual property. Personal mental illness issues. Finances and investments. So how will we protect it all? A variety of new ways,...
World Models, Not LLMs, Will Drive Next‑year AGI
I'm more and more convinced after visiting with AI geniuses in San Francisco that LLMs are not the way forward. World Models are. Or this. Or cognitive archiectures. All of which we will call "AGI" when they arrive next year.
Privacy and Trust Are Crucial for Home Robots
The real problem for robots and virtual beings: Privacy. They will find your guns and your sex toys. Most humans are not ready for that and aren’t educated about how AI works to trust it. Trust. Am studying companies who are building these things...
World Models Give Robots Unique, Human‑Like Experiences
World Models are exponential learning engines. I learned yesterday in San Francisco that they lead to a system that behaves “conscious.” And it is running on melted sand. And consciousness isn’t the goal. Your robot will have a personality and life experiences that will...
AI Hardware Delays Persist as Palantir Exceeds Expectations
Meanwhile if you want an NVIDIA card to run a robot you must wait six or more weeks. And Palantir just beat analyst expectations (which were already sky high): https://t.co/Qzvlu3s093 And more AI waves are to come.
