What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Come on in. We're about to start the most interesting podcast in the world. I'm using my little portable fan to chill me out for a second. It gets too warm here. I get so excited about doing the podcast that I start overheating. So the sound will be a little bit better when I turn this off. Come on in. You know, any moment now, We're going to do a thing called... That's right. It's called the simultaneous sip. Prepare your vessel. All right, I know why you're here. You're here for the simultaneous sip. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called that's right the simultaneous sip go oh so good all right people i'm gonna set my phone to look at the comments
so that I can see them a little bit better than I can on the browser. That's how this works. Perfect. Perfecto. All right, we got a lot of news today. But before we start, I wonder, are you ever curious where I get my news stories? What sources do I use? And I figured it would be sort of good hygiene to at least once tell you where I get most of my ideas for the show. Because where you are influenced will tell you a lot about where things are going. All right, first I got to get my fan working. This will work. So some of the sources that I use And this is not exclusive, but you are likely to see me quoting stuff from the Wall Street Journal, from the Post Millennial, from Just the News, The Hill, New York Post, The Gateway Pundit.
But that's not exclusive. I'm forgetting, you know, obviously Politico sometimes, etc. But I'm also very addicted to Mario Noffel's posts on X because by the time I wake up, he's already done these great summaries of the news and they're sort of hard to resist. So he definitely points me to a lot of stories. But I also get DMs on X and mostly on X from people who know me well. So two of the people who are especially good at knowing what I would like to see for the show are Owen Gregorian. So if you wanted to follow him, you could see more things that are in my lane. If you'd like to see my content, especially if you like the technical stuff, you'll love seeing Owen Gregorian's feed. So just search for him on X if you want to follow him.
And then also Marcella Pina, who is just really good at figuring out what would amuse me and amuse you. And so when her DMs come in, I'm far more likely to use them as a basis for a story because she's so good at identifying what is interesting. So I apologize if I'm leaving anybody out. But you can also follow Marcella on X. All right. So there's a new robot maker. There's a robot called Memo, I guess. And they're claiming a breakthrough in teaching the robot to pick up unfamiliar items. Oh, yeah. So if you're looking at individuals, Mike Benz would be one of the people I'd look at. But there are a lot of individuals on X. So if you just look who I follow, I mean, if I follow them on X, they're probably influencing me in one way or another.
You know, obviously Elon Musk, etc. Anyway, this new robot, they're making a claim that they have trained it to have what they call an intuition for grasping new objects. So apparently one of the biggest problems with robots, which... I think for 20 years I've been seeing them say they claim they've figured out how to do this, but maybe they've done it, which is if a robot sees a new item, it doesn't necessarily know how to pick it up or how to handle it unless it has been trained on that very item. So it would handle an egg the same as an anvil unless it had been trained that those are two different things. But in theory, This company thinks that they've solved that so that the robot would now have the same intuition a human would have, or close to it, that they could pick up objects.
Now, that makes me wonder, how close are we to actual robots that are useful? Because, I don't know, I thought that problem was already solved, but maybe that's one of the big ones.
