When You Read the Fine Print, Humanoid Robots Are Going Absolutely Nowhere

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 22:05:45

We tend to get fixated on realizing certain contraptions from science fiction, no matter how impractical. Flying cars. Jet packs. And now, humanoid robots. It's only the latter, however, that's anticipated to one day be a multitrillion dollar market, with big firms like Tesla leading the charge. In March, Tesla CEO Elon Musk boasted that his automaker would build 5,000 Optimus robots by the end of this year. Responding to Musk's claim, so did the Shanghai-based startup Agibot.

Did Google fix the Pixel 9’s lifeless photo colors on the Pixel 10? I’m shocked.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-08 20:00:51

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority What Google did to photo colors on its last few Pixel phones is criminal. There is no other way to say this, but the degradation in color quality and science was so palpable since the Pixel 6, culminating in the washed-out photos of the Pixel 9 Pro. Even me, a staunch Pixel camera fan, had somewhat given up on getting good, lively photos from my phone last year.
