Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I think it's a combination of it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I mean, I think of it as acting sometimes, but I only play the role of myself.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

But of course, it's like when you're shooting something for the seventh time, like you have to be able to muster that enthusiasm.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

But no, it's not a kind of think of everyday life me as a watered down version of the YouTube version.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It's like,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Yeah, it's a push.com version.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

No, it's just like add two parts water if you have me.

#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

But like on YouTube, it's just so condensed because you have jump cuts and, you know, like I'll scrape jokes and make sure that everything lands and there's music and stuff.

#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And then like in real life, you don't have any of that, but it's still me.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I mean, I remember the breakfast robot, which was my second project, was a challenging one.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Yeah, it's a robot that like pours milk and cereal and feeds me with a spoon.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I was mostly challenging because it was so like everything had to be in the right location and there were so many takes before I got everything right.

#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And by right, I mean it makes an absolute mess.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Yeah, that one was challenging.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Probably 12, 10, something.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It's just a mess everywhere.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It's a mess.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And also I use Cheerios for the cereals.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It's shot in my old bedroom in San Francisco.

And the floors were sticky for weeks afterwards.
