I spent my pre-holiday week teaching a robot to dance. Not a metaphor. An actual robot. On my desk. Dancing to jazz. Three days ago I unboxed a Reachy Mini. Today both apps I built are in the official app store and I have a site tracking the whole journey of building a robot that can see, hear, and move, all developed alongside an agentic AI. The secret? I let Claude Code do the heavy lifting while I watched and occasionally made suggestions. Turns out agentic AI is pretty good at robotics debugging. Full story: https://t.co/49FLkxvpCP Follow along at https://t.co/EoEVkJqH9g if you want to watch me debug motor commands while eating too many cookies. Fair warning: there's a video of the robot dancing. My kid has opinions about it. @Huggingface @AnthropicAI @ClementDelangue

In case you were wondering if Qwen-Image-Layered is supported in 🧨 Diffusers, that's the default 🤗 The approach of decomposing an image into so-called semantically related RGBA "layers" feels very fresh & unique! Check it out on the official channels! https://t.co/ErTisX3NhM

sooo many open AI models and datasets last week 🔥 > Alibaba dropped a long context Qwen, ASR model, Qwen-Image-Layered > @NVIDIAAI released game playing agent NitroGen, Nemotron Cascade and datasets > @GoogleDeepMind dropped Gemma Scope 2, FunctionGemma, datasets and more! https://t.co/VT4kKRbZqx

Exciting news for the UK: we're teaming up with @Baidu_Inc's Apollo Go to pilot autonomous vehicles in London! Testing is expected to start in the first half of 2026, under the UK’s frontier plan to begin trials for self-driving vehicles. We’re excited to accelerate Britain's leadership in the future of mobility, bringing another safe and reliable travel option to Londoners next year.

Elon Musk: There's a weird movement to quell free speech around the world. We should be concerned about that. “Why was the First Amendment a high priority? Number one is because people came from countries where if you spoke freely, you would be imprisoned or killed. And they were like, we would like to not have that here, because that was terrible. And actually, there's a lot of places in the world right now, if you're critical of the government, you get imprisoned or killed. We'd like to not have that.” Source: All-In Summit, September 9, 2024

I realize more and more that there is such a thing as dumb person in life. “Turn off the lights and vision fails, LiDAR keeps working” may sound logical in theory, but the Waymo SF power outage really just disproved it. During the recent San Francisco power outage, Waymo’s entire LiDAR-heavy robotaxi fleet went offline. Literally the entire fleet just stopped operating. Meanwhile, all Tesla Robotaxis kept running! Tesla’s vision-based system is trained on billions of miles, neural nets, and, most importantly, doesn’t require a city to be perfectly powered to function. An alien UFO could land in the middle of nowhere with the entire city blacked out and it will still work. Humans don’t drive with lasers. We drive with our eyes, we process what we see with our brain, and then we react with our body. Tesla does the same thing, except the brain is AI, trained on billions of real-world miles. Tesla’s Vision system learns the world as it is, adapts in real time, and improves continuously and is NOT dependent on special maps, perfect lighting, or city-by-city infrastructure like LiDAR. That’s why it scales. With a simple software update, Tesla’s Vision AI can operate anywhere instead of just where the environment was pre-approved or carefully controlled like LiDAR. This is how generalized real-world autonomy gets solved. I believe this will be obvious in hindsight.

Ana Kasparian Exposes where the money California is spending on homelessness is going It’s being funneled into NGO’s & Executives are making $500k a year each “Just experiencing what I've seen on the ground in California has made me question a lot about left wing ideology” “We spent $13 billion in Los Angeles alone last year to combat homelessness. You wanna know where that money went? That money went to these trash nonprofits who have a bunch of executives making half a million a year. You're working for a nonprofit dealing with homelessness. That's my money. That's my parents' money. Okay, that is the hardworking people of California paying incredibly high taxes that go to what? So, yeah. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it and honestly just experiencing what I've seen on the ground in California has made me question a lot about left wing ideology.”
