The AI robots are coming! We're finally seeing the next stage of AI come to fruition robotics (even in America) as manufacturing and capabilities of humanoids speeds up.

This week on AI For Humans, robots just hit their ChatGPT moment. Eka Robotics' robotic hand grabbed a raspberry at incredible speed, and Wired is calling it the moment when robots became as transformative as ChatGPT was for text. Figure Robotics is now manufacturing one robot per hour. 1x just opened a factory targeting 10,000 robots per year. American robotics manufacturing is finally catching up to China after years of falling behind.

We dig into why physical AI is the next big thing and walk through the most impressive recent demos including MotuBrain's new world action model, KAI Robotics' touching but slightly terrifying video out of China, and Neuralink doing robot-assisted surgeries.

Plus, the White House is now fighting Anthropic again because they want MORE access to the Mythos model. Sam Altman launched GPT-5.5 Cyber. Grok dropped a new Imagine video agent. And then there's the strangest story of the week: OpenAI dropped a full blog post explaining why their models keep being obsessed with goblins, and we explain why it matters and what it tells us about how these models actually work.

And, our inaugural Sloppies Award Show kicks off with the first nominee: Amazon's AI voice product overviews, featuring the now-legendary diaper rash cream review.

ROBOTS. GOBLINS. DIAPER RASH CREAM. OH MY.
