I was there Friday night in San Francisco for the @REK event, and this is something you had be in the room to get it, but I’ll try to describe it. It hit completely differently from robot-versus-robot fights. Those are entertaining, sure, but after a while they start to feel strange. You’re empathizing with machines that aren’t conscious, don’t feel pain, and don’t feel anything. Robot versus human hits different and raw, it was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt real fear for the human fighter, and real excitement, mostly fear, and when it ended there was a huge wave of relief. The robots were remote-controlled, of course, but the kicks were genuinely powerful. We know how power-dense those actuators are, and the human fighter took real hits to his body. The kicks from the six-foot-tall EngineAI T800 seemed nearly impossible to dodge when they were hurled in the right direction. The Unitree H1 was even harder to deal with because its dynamic balance is so good that it just refused to go down. This could be the start of a genuinely new entertainment genre. But I can tell you this: if someone wants to fight a robot with a real AI brain and real perception, you’d need robots that are far less powerful, throttled down, and compliant. Otherwise it ends in serious injury or worse. This is the beginning of something different in robotics and entertainment, and we need to think seriously about it before regulators use moments like this as fearmongering fodder to throttle the entire humanoid frontier. https://x.com/frankie_lapenna/status/2101749052085871039/video/1

At @Ford, we care a lot about the Essential Economy, which is the workers who build, fix, and maintain the physical world around us. These skilled trades are the backbone of American manufacturing and we need solutions for closing the skills gap, and providing the education and resources that will power the productivity and growth of the #EssentialEconomy. Across industries and public and private sectors, we all need to work together. That's why this summer, Larry Fink from @BlackRock, Ruth Porat from Alphabet Inc. & @Google, Linda Hubbard from @Carhartt, and I launched the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades. Among other goals, we wanted to build a shared, trusted foundation of data on the state of skilled trades across America. So today, in partnership with Jobs for the Future (JFF) and The Burning Glass Institute, we’re officially publishing — The State of America's Skilled Trades: A National Report. Take a look: https://skilledtradesreport.com The report examines the forces shaping supply and demand across occupations and regions, to show where workforce systems are working well, where they're under strain, and where focused action can make the biggest difference. Alongside the report, we're launching America's Skilled Trades Dashboard — a first-of-its-kind interactive tool that makes the data accessible in one place. It breaks down the data by occupation and state, making it easy to explore local labor market conditions, identify where the need is greatest, and compare progress across regions. The dashboard is available at https://skilledtradesreport.com We also set out to grow this movement. Today, we're welcoming 14 new partners - @ATT, Barton Malow, @blackstone, @CintasCorp, @DEWALTtough, Dycom, @Hersheys, @ManpowerGroup, @Meta, @Microsoft, @MilwaukeeTool, @nvidia, @Verizon and @Waymo. Each has already stepped up individually. Now we're stepping up together.

US supply chains for electronics suck so much AMD found a business opportunity in dumping US military chips for 1/4 of the cost in China. US list price is $36k for this chip, with $4-5k to US companies at volume, but it's getting quoted $1k in China to crowdfunding campaigns AMD needs to be investigated for treason. it's not just export violations, but it's literally selling military end use components to an adversary for less than your home country.... Pharma companies are also similarly treasonous https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amd/XCZU47DR-2FSVG1517I/15908156 https://www.crowdsupply.com/puzhi/pzsdr-p047-rf-adc-and-rf-dac
