All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg · The $1/Hour Worker: Four Robotics CEOs on Humanoids at Home, China's Threat, and the End of Dangerous Jobs · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, 20 years ago when we were doing this, it really was an unknown in industry, right?

Robotics was more about automation systems.

And in the research community, we're doing things like humanoid robots, like autonomous mobile robots, really trying to build the intelligence and then build the hardware that can make it capable.

And that's really started to break through now into the real world and to having direct impact beyond being a research topic.

And then the universities have seen this demand and this growth and people love robots.

There's a lot of demand from students who want to do it.

So the number of programs has grown and it's just exponentially growing.

Very, very exciting.

Very exciting.

They call it the AI winters, you know?

Very impactful.

Yeah.

Well,

I would say generally, it is very easy to make a robot that looks like a person.

And that's why we've seen humanoids for a hundred years in one.

It's very hard to make a robot that can do useful things in human spaces.

And we're starting to see that today.

And that's the difference.

So even if it doesn't look exactly like a human, but maybe a little bit humanoid, but it's doing useful work, that's where the impact matters.

Yeah, perception was incredibly difficult.
