The Robot Revolution Is Closer Than You Think

A robot revolution, driven by advancements in robotics and AI, is imminent and will drastically transform the economy, labor, and society, leading to a post-labor, post-scarcity system with abundant energy and labor ##

## Questions to inspire discussion.

Investment & National Strategy.

🚀 Q: Why should governments prioritize humanoid robot investment now? A: Governments must treat humanoid robots as a national priority for transforming productivity and defense, with enormous investments justified because there’s no time to lose as both the US and China have already recognized this imperative.

💰 Q: What economic growth rates become possible with early humanoid robot adoption? A: Spinning up the humanoid robot flywheel early enables exponential economic growth rates of 20–100% per year, unlocking unprecedented prosperity and catapulting societies up the curve over the next 15 years.

⚡ Q: Which countries or entities will likely lead the humanoid robot transformation? A: Outsiders rather than incumbents or centers of power will lead the transformation to a new economic paradigm, as history shows leadership typically comes from the edge rather than the status quo.

Elon Musk, Richest Man On Earth, Predicts Money Will Disappear ‘As A Concept’ When AI And Robotics ‘Satisfy All Human Needs’

Money is supposed to be the reward for effort. Elon Musk thinks it eventually becomes unnecessary paperwork.

While talking with Indian entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath on the “People by WTF” podcast last month, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO and richest man in the world returned to a theme he’s raised before. It’s one he treats less like a theory and more like an inevitability. As artificial intelligence and robotics accelerate, Musk believes society moves past jobs, past income debates, and straight into something stranger.

New framework reveals where transport emissions concentrate in Singapore

Compact, mixed-use districts are often assumed to naturally produce cleaner travel patterns, but the reality on the ground is far more complex.

In Singapore, for instance, two adjacent employment hubs—One-North and Science Park—share similar locations but differ sharply in how people move through them.

A new study from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) reveals why and offers a high-resolution approach to understanding where emissions accumulate within districts rather than across entire cities.

AI Expert: We Have 2 Years Before Everything Changes! We Need To Start Protesting! — Tristan Harris

For example: “If you’re worried about immigration, you should be way more concerned about AI” — for the impact on jobs, cultural stability, and social predictability.


Ex-Google Insider and AI Expert TRISTAN HARRIS reveals how ChatGPT, China, and Elon Musk are racing to build uncontrollable AI, and warns it will blackmail humans, hack democracy, and threaten jobs…by 2027.

Tristan Harris is a former Google design ethicist and leading voice from Netflix’s The Social Dilemma. He is also co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, where he advises policymakers, tech leaders, and the public on the risks of AI, algorithmic manipulation, and the global race toward AGI.

Thousands of Amazon employees send open letter to CEO Andy Jassy; say: We’re the workers who develop, train, and use AI, so we have … — The Times of India

Thousands of Amazon employees have signed an open letter issuing some dire warnings about the company’s move toward AI. The letter, signed by more than 1,000 workers (and counting) calls out Amazon for pushing its AI investments at the expense of the climate and its human workforce. The letter’s supporters come from a wide array of roles at the company, including many software engineers, and even employees focused on building AI systems. “We believe that the all-costs-justified, warp-speed approach to AI development will do staggering damage to democracy, to our jobs, and to the earth,” the letter’s authors wrote. It adds, “We’re the workers who develop, train, and use AI, so we have a responsibility to intervene.”


Over a thousand Amazon employees have penned an open letter, warning that the company’s rapid AI development is jeopardizing its climate commitments and human workforce. They argue the pursuit of AI dominance is leading to increased emissions, water scarcity, and job displacement, urging leadership to prioritize ethical AI and environmental responsibility.
