I joined @Toroosian for episode 150 (!) of his Machine Minds Show to discuss the challenges of designing the interaction layer for a robot that could eventually do anything, and the challenges of keeping Rick from interrupting your podcast recording.

What happens when #AI agents stop living on screens and start controlling cameras, wheels, monitors, and eventually full #robotic bodies? I joined Samson Rose’s Founder and host of the Machine Minds podcast, @Toroosian, to discuss the rapidly converging worlds of AI agents, #ComputerVision, robotics, and physical intelligence. We dive into why @RealSenseai depth perception is becoming foundational infrastructure for #PhysicalAI, how @AgenticROS lets AI agents interact directly with ROS and control real robots, and more. πŸ‘€ 🎧 Hear their full conversation: samsonrose.com/podcasts/the-…

SkySafe’s CRO Melissa Swisher recently joined Greg @Toroosian, host of the Machine Minds podcast, to talk about a challenge many critical infrastructure operators are only beginning to confront: airspace awareness. A few key takeaways: πŸ”· Security can't stop at the fence line. Critical infrastructure has invested heavily in securing what happens on the ground. But as drones become more accessible and capable, the airspace above those facilities is becoming an increasingly important part of the security picture. πŸ”· A detection is just a data point. Knowing that β€œa drone is there” isn't enough. Connecting sightings, flight history, movements across sites and changes in behavior can reveal patterns and provide the context needed to understand what actually requires action. πŸ”· C-UAS isn't a one-technology problem. RF, radar, cameras, acoustics and mitigation each solve different pieces of the puzzle. Effective counter-UAS requires a layered approach where technologies work together to provide a more complete picture. The future of drone security isn't just about detecting more drones. It's about understanding what's happening in your airspace and knowing what to do about it. πŸŽ™οΈ Listen to the full conversation at the link in the comments below. #MachineMindsShow #AirspaceAwareness

Amazing! Haha
Best use of AI I've seen this year

The future!
Introducing our tech roadmap at @cosmic_robotics to start autonomous city construction on Mars in the mid-2030s. Our team includes senior talent from SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Zoox, Nuro, and Autodesk. We're already deploying robots on large-scale construction sites. Link to roadmap in the thread below:

the anthropic co-founder jack clark advice that stuck with me: read the primary material. not the summary. not what the ai said about it. the actual thing. form your own opinion first. then ask the model. never the other way around. keep practices in your life where it’s just you against the world ~ a sport, an instrument, reading, building something with your hands. spaces where the algorithm can’t mediate what you learn about yourself. and don’t defer to AI even when it’s usually right. especially then, actually. that’s precisely when the habit forms. the people who won’t get eaten by this moment are the ones who stayed hard to replace. not because they avoided the tools but because they kept the parts of thinking that make the tools worth using.

Dubai just put robot dogs on the front lines of firefighting These quadrupeds charge into 500Β°C+ infernos, toxic smoke & collapsing structures with 60 m water cannons blasting 2,400 L/min. AI locks on hotspots, humans stay safe.
