This is a hype reel from AI humanoid robot manufacturer Figure, which, in the last 120 days, has scaled manufacturing of their F.03 humanoid robots from 1 a day to more than 1 every hour. They will produce 55 robots this week, and the scaling continues. Presumably until they have
This is a food AND foot fetish friendly video of Rob Williams demonstrating his ability to make a sandwich entirely by foot. Rob holds the Guinness World Record for fastest sandwich made by foot with a time of 1 minute 57 seconds. What a feat(!). My favorite parts were peeling

Electricity: it’s terrifying. And to prove that point, this is a video of electrical engineer Greg Leyh turning one of his giant Tesla coils (because who can have just one?) into a targeted high-voltage plasma cannon. It’s like a mini Death Star. He then tests the ray on a model
