Episode Synopsis

In this week's Rational Optimist Podcast, we explore the rapidly advancing world of robotics. We compare Figure's groundbreaking Helix robot that learns by watching humans with Clone's nightmare-inducing twitching humanoid. Plus: why humanoid robots might be the wrong design approach, how Chinese robot dogs are outperforming American competitors at a fraction of the cost, quantum computing's overhyped promises, and why Grok just dethroned Claude as the most powerful AI model.
