I had so many questions answered from this single video, loved the no nonsense approach😂

This is better than Harvard business school Holy shit for free

Appreciate your optimism for robotics

I can see you guys have a decade of flow together. Just found this channel... awesome

Love these keep em coming!

Massive respect for this amazing lessons for free. Your friend from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Thank you so much guys for educating us

Make more! These are amazing!

Love these deep dives. Ben and/or Marc, come on AI For Humans to talk about this.

Charlie & Buffet bro-mance. Beautiful to witness chaps who go through the hard things, about hard things, and still be making memes, today.

I loved it. So tactical. Would love more like this.

Absolutely! Embracing advanced manufacturing with fully robotic and AI-enabled factories is key to revitalizing US manufacturing. CEOs with backgrounds in product creation can bring invaluable insights to companies aiming to innovate and build complex products. 🏭💡

Shut up Carl, this is not Linkedin.

Ben and Marc Great stuff as usual! Demonstrating you have the right people on board who can wear multiple hats does signal to investors that you can effectively utilize their capital. Yet from a Founders perspective having a seed stage investor willing to help shape the team and vision is 💯, especially for founders from diverse backgrounds.

Ben, insight"s on robots needing new physics models hits home. It mirrors how humans develop sensorimotor skills through real-world interaction. Imagine robots learning like newborns, gaining 'street smarts' neuron by neuron!

Fast becoming my favourite podcast

I like you more than all in already!

Mark correctly listed all the non maker traits the cost-disease society demands (diplomat, lawyer, social networker, etc.). Ben lists the one thing that is needed, and the tragedy of not putting it first. This is why founder -controlled companies are outperforming 100x. (And Andy Grove’s high performance management is a masterclass in high performance goal setting)

On the energy/electricity front, it will be interesting to watch the Poland deal with Rolls Royce to install factory-built mini nukes: willingness to scale up kWh like this will strongly influence where AI and industry get located. On the “boiling the sea” comment - combined-cycle generators can consume that heat and recycle it as electric power.

great episode

🦅🦅

I wish Marc would tell us what books he's got behind him.

Great discussion

Elon spells it out pretty clearly: you're the CEO, make your product the best it can possibly be.

😂 Ben on the output of an Airplane Company CEO: "The airplane doesn't fkin fall out of the sky"

@ 1:05:50 "the bitter lesson" was written by Sutton. Note, that Sutton and Barto released the first book on Reinforcement Learning (RL) in 1997 (an ASU master thesis student, with a Chinese-American advisor had early private access and combined RL with Fuzzy Logic that merges math and language, and K-means clustering that sets attention heads on regions of interest in the state space). RL was funded by the USAF at least prior to 1997 and is now used in heavily modified F-16's. Note that in the lawsuit between OpenAI and Elon Musk a 2018 email revealed that their "core technology" is from the "90s". In the most recent Lex Friedman interview with Yann LeCun (and many other recent AI researchers) try to get rid of RL but cannot seem to get rid of it. Yann said that RL is too " inefficient" and made a blanker exception for it to use it when your "plan does not work" or when you are fighting a "ninja", and that RL is too "dangerous" (basically gaslighting).

Great discussion on the future of manufacturing! What do you think is the biggest hurdle for widespread adoption?

Accounting is the core competency for such complex companies.🎉

Really interested to see how these robotics play in established mid sized manufacturing. They might not have the capital for a complete rebuild.

(sips tea) 🤣

I suck at talking to investors but I am working on it , to get better

The transformation from advanced ML / DL to AI is also a HCI & hardware revolution with or without A16 - 43:02

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury or French big enterprises bosses (e.g TotalEnergies - Patrick Pouyanné, LVMH - Bernard Arnault) usually are graduates of Ecole Polytechnique, the best engineering and most competitive grande ecole in France - no wonder Airbus kicks Boeing's ass.

💯

Great one again, thanks for doing it

I think emerging technology specialists are going to help most businesses and communities transition over the next 5 to 15 years or so. The changes are going to be insane at a daily rate by the point though. By then it should just sort of flow state in a way that simply wasn't possible until then. We'll need local, national and international human specialists. Everybody else just gets to get help having life be better. It's going to be great.

Who else immediately thought of Iran when they talked about low cost data centers at 49:15

I’m really curious how manufacturing innovation can boost production while keeping jobs. Is it just the same amount of workers spread across more plants that are more efficient?

Drink every time he says “um”

The problem with this thinking is that the fancy AI factories are still going to have to compete with overseas human factories and supply chains. And they’ll lose, at least at building the products that are currently available. The only way for this to work is for the AI factory to build products that do not currently exist, either because they haven’t been invented yet, or ideally making products that are currently impossible to make by human teams.

737-MAX MCAS system was "certified" Radio Technical Commission on Aeronautics (RTCA) level D, a sacrilege for flight controls, when it needed to be level A (10E-9 probability of catastrophic failure).

Hey Guys, given the incredible potential for AI enabled robotics one area of new future work (jobs) is (or very much should be) discrete task trainers. Where I am going with this is AI capability is limited on two fronts power and compute at the individual robot level (imagine a Optimus in your home). You can either try to get a robot to learn a new task through trial and error (with some base capably) OR you could employ a trainer that can specifically help your robot learn the task both quickly and accurately for your environment. This would reduce the compute needed for training and ultimately the power as well. In addition provide avenues for incremental employment of current labourers. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Robotics will be perfect decoupling from China , dominating speed of innovation for USA

ben's comments on CEO selection are really on point - but (judging from my oiwn finite Board experiences avoiding Board internecine warfare is pretty hard to navigate. I'd be interested how you assemble an effective coalition of Board members to support a candidate without completyely pissing off everyone elkse on the Board. Is there a general structure for this process that's been successful for uoi?

Guys lets group together to discuss our ways to get global, we could share some experiences. Somebody up to? Lets create discord or sth

People don't care right now because AI is not affecting them as of yet. When AI affects them and starts cutting their job then they will care

The only super tech proficient manufacturers in the AI Auto Space and Robotics sector is Tesla/Space X

How many hotels AI factory needs? I think its overblown how many "workers" factory like that will require. The incentive is to put it to 0, or at least scale expensive labor by remote access. Amazons dream is fully robotic warehouse - how many hotels needs that around it? Zero.. so why factories would be any different? AI factory will create enormous value, but not for people being close to it geographically.

The dollar is so strong and labor cost is very high. Who can afford to buy our stuff?

Listen to me Marc. 15 Minutes in, and I have a comment to make. EVERY COMAPNY IS IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MONEY. and I have a point to prove it, when I say that a stock went from $10 to $20 nobody asks me what the company does, because it does not matter. The only thing that matters in business is money, the product is the supply to the demand. Study Economics. Macroeconomics to be precise.

Manufacturing is the hard part. Plus China is very good at copying hardware.

um uh uh uh um uh uh uh um uh

Cut out the humans.. that is what this dude is talking about

why the hell is the episode titled AI, Robotics yet half of it is about board and ceo politics. False advertisment

Stop saying steel Man

Awesome awesome awesome. But why? Like, who cares? Nerds? There's no money in selling machines to other machines. The wave of boredom that is coming week be unprecedented. These people think Elon musk is NOT a scammer. It's incredible.
