Flashback to Monday’s poll:

“Gotta tap into this 4G coverage on the moon” This is true, I heard Netflix is super fast up there. Idk about you but I’m tryna Netflix and float 👨‍🚀

“I would go on a long space flight. Matter of fact I would move to space, seriously, maybe Mars. Accelerate. Transcend.” Elon, is that you???

“Is the Earth round? Has it ever snowed in Minnesota in June? Does Arsicault bakery serve the best pastries in the Bay area? You're damn right, yes is the ONLY right answer.” 😂

“Gonna need a LOT more successful flights before I'm gonna go on that ride....” Agreed, I’m with you. Call me old-fashioned, but if I want to see a picture of earth, I’ll go to Google Earth. I get freaked out enough when an airplane hits turbulence, I’m stayin right here.

On to today’s poll. My favorite question to ask my younger cousins.

In today’s edition of “What the heck is Elon up to”, he went on Tucker Carlson for a 30 minute interview. I watched the interview so you didn’t have to.

Here’s the breakdown on what Elon is thinking:

Why should I care? On Monday, we wrote about Elon’s new company X.AI and the superapp he’s building. From this interview, we get a clearer picture of Elon’s goals. He’s not just building a superapp or a social app. He’s building a competitor to DeepMind and OpenAI along with all of the above. So next time someone laughs at you for being on Twitter so much, explain you’re prepping for when it’s the superapp of the future. Keep building y’all.

In the classic 2011 film Real Steel, Hugh Jackman plays a boxer overcoming overwhelming odds to achieve success. Sounds like a lame Rocky remake until you hear the twist: Hugh Jackman doesn’t do any of the actual fighting. Instead, he controls a robot boxer.

The result was dope scenes like:

Now, as is so often the case with SciFi, the fictional is becoming reality.

Although we don’t have a robot boxing league yet, we do have robotic avatars.

In simplest terms, robotic avatars are robots controlled remotely by a human who can feel everything the robot is doing. Think of robotic avatars like VR, as it enables users to see, hear, touch, move, and communicate in a way that feels like their somewhere else.

Basically, you become a robot.

Which looks really damn cool:

And, robotic avatars have potential beyond obstacle courses and boxing. They are useful in a variety of practical situations, including disaster relief, critical repairs, and maintenance.

The swag factor is just a plus.

Why should I care? Robotics has been hyped for a while now, but still hasn’t truly taken off. Robotic avatars are a big step forward, and if we want to ever fill the manufacturing labor shortage, we’re going to need many more big steps forward.

What else is going on?

Stat: The Apple savings account is here and it’s offering a whopping 4.15% APY. Hey, traditional banks, it’s time to step it up.
