Why robotics hasn't left its assembly stage, according to an Nvidia insider
Robotics is stuck in its assembly stage because the industry is still building its own Legos. Amulya Vishwanath, who led product marketing for NVIDIA's robotics platforms for seven years, argues the field remains in a "Lego era," where basic components like actuators and safety standards are being rebuilt from scratch. It is a sobering counterpoint to those expecting a general AI model to suddenly unlock everything.

Tesla's flying Roadster uses thrusters to leap over five vehicles in Texas demo
Tesla's flying Roadster just vaulted over five of its own vehicles in a Texas demo, using thrusters to clear a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Semi, Model Y, and Model 3 in one leap. It's a striking proof of concept for a car that refuses to stay on the road.

American Express gives AI shopping agents a clear rulebook for authorized purchases
American Express is drawing a clear line: AI shopping agents need permission, not just intent. The company's new framework aims to ensure these agents only make purchases a user has explicitly authorized, a safeguard against costly mistakes and disputes as automated shopping grows. It's a practical move, grounding innovation in accountability.
