YouTube Music has one feature no streaming service can compete with
Even though I stream most of my music on Spotify, I renew my YouTube Music subscription every month. It still has one feature that I can’t get anywhere else. YouTube lets me listen to live performances of my favorite songs I live in one of those countries that’s perpetually skipped over when it’s time for “world tours.” This means that, short of traveling, there’s little chance of me ever seeing my favorite artists live. The closest I can get are concert videos on YouTube and live albums.

Who’s Got the Best Legs? Which Humanoid Robots Have Mastered Walking? Original
Human evolution is basically a time-lapse of us learning to walk better. First, we started on all fours, then we figured out how to balance on two legs, and eventually, we strutted our way to dominance. The same thing is happening with humanoid robots right now—except while some can move as well as we can, others are a bit further down the evolutionary tree. If humanoid robots are to be as useful as we imagine, they need to be able to interact with a world built for people.

Figure can now mass-produce humanoid robots, starting with 12,000 a year to 100,000 in four years. Figure's new factory uses their own robots to build more robots - entering an innovative and slightly unsettling cycle. Mass production of humanoid robots may eventually make them more affordable with cost-saving design changes. Figure can now mass-produce its humanoid robots, and that gives me mixed feelings.
