Humanoid Robots Are Coming

The robot you imagined as a kid is now something you can actually own. On today’s episode, New Yorker writer Stephen Witt reveals that the humanoid robots of childhood cartoons and science fiction are real—and already for sale. He takes Ravi inside the race to build machines that can walk, learn, fold laundry, and potentially transform the global workforce. But their bodies are advancing faster than their brains, and teaching them basic human skills requires staggering amounts of data. Could putting more robots into the world make them all smarter—and are we ready to welcome them into our homes? ––––––– Stephen Witt’s book The Thinking Machine Find Lost Debate ◾Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@LostDebate ◾Get show notes and email updates - https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ ◾Follow us - @thebranchmedia Find Ravi Gupta ◾Pre-Order Ravi’s new book The Invisible List -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/ ◾Join the Invisible Posse -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse ◾Read Ravi’s Substack - https://realravigupta.substack.com  ◾Follow Ravi- https://www.instagram.com/ravimgupta/
