Hello, and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Karania. Thank you so much for being here on this Thursday afternoon. What a great way to start your day. All right, robots, they're in the White House. I wanted to cover this yesterday, but I needed to wait. There wasn't enough information out to do it yesterday.

What is the significance of robots in the White House?

Hayley Caronia 0:16
So now we have a full debrief of the robots in the White House yesterday. I feel naive saying that I never thought I'd see the day, So what does this mean? Will we have robots running for office anytime soon? Maybe they'll just be fetching water and doing other intern tasks, I don't know. But First Lady Melania Trump says that they can start teaching our next generation of kids. Comedians, actors, and other entertainment industry titans are calling out the woke ones, making them all look bad. Make comedy great again. Make America laugh again. And the Hollywood celebrity gossip king is now saying Christ is king, and it is all because of a near-death experience. All that and so much more on today's episode.

I thought I was seeing something out of a movie when I saw this. Melania Trump walking into the White House alongside a humanoid robot. What? This is like, I can't tell if this is the end of a scary movie or the beginning. She's walking alongside it. It's doing a great job, you know, not as graceful as the first lady. Thank you for including Melania Trump for inviting me to the White House.

It is an honor to be at Fostering the Future Together's Global Coalition inaugural meeting. I'm figure three, a humanoid built in the United States of America. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education. Welcome. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos.

How does Melania Trump envision the role of robots in education?

Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos.

It's really weird to see it talking, and then it's only like this little picture on the screen. It's like a black hole, and it's just this little mouth is moving on its face, I guess. It's weird that it doesn't have eyes, it doesn't have ears, it doesn't have anything. I mean, it looks somewhat like a human, but it also said the name Melania on the side of the...
Vince Vaughn 2:40
Could not have made it scarier looking.
Hayley Caronia 2:42
It's so scary. Yeah. And then this is supposed to be like for kids in school. Also, it is interesting. The voice is not really that robotic. It sounds pretty human. Whereas I think when you ask Siri for directions, you can very obviously tell that it's it's a robot. It's a computer. That was a very kind of valley girl accent. She just sounds like a girl.
Vince Vaughn 3:08
No, the voice stuff is crazy.
Hayley Caronia 3:11
It's really, it's getting very lifelike in a way. So this was all for the Fostering the Future Together Global Initiative Summit. And as you could see in that video, the humanoid robot introduced itself as Figure 3. That's his name, Figure 3. And it is made by an American company called Figure AI. And the robot stands at 5'6", weighs 134 pounds. This is almost, this is like me. I'm 5'7", 137 pounds. So I am almost the same size as this robot, which is very scary. I think I could take it though. If I had to, I think I could take it. And it charges wirelessly by stepping onto a charging mat. So it just steps onto the mat, charges right up. It can do laundry. It can load a dishwasher, among other tasks. I think there was, I read something where BMW might've used humanoid robots like this to help them in their factories.

And again, this isn't fully rolled out, but it could do a lot. And it is not one of a kind by any means. Figure AI plans to build 12,000 of these in a year just in California. And then they have bigger plans for their humanoid robots. By 2034, Figure 8 will have 100,000 friends. I just, listen, I haven't seen a lot of movies, but I like scary movies. And this seems like it is the start of a scary movie. This is, you know, I never saw iRobot or anything like that, but this is just.
Vince Vaughn 4:50
Yeah, you missed your window. It was a lot more fun when the movie came out.
Hayley Caronia 4:53
Yeah, but now it's gonna be really fun because we can all live through it.
