Tesla has been hard at work developing its own humanoid robot since 2021, branching out beyond electric vehicles. Elon Musk's latest obsession is called Optimus, and its development requires some training from anyone willing to be on their feet walking while carrying 30 lbs. of equipment for more than 7 hours a day. All of the prerequisites for the role are physical; you have to be between 5'7" and 5'11" — with zero education requirements, making it a nice $25.50 to $48 per hour gig. According to Business Insider, roughly 50 people have filled the position over the past year. You might be wondering what the 30 lbs. of equipment is.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Researchers at MIT have given robots everything they need to take over the world. A new algorithm called “Estimate, Extrapolate, and Situate (EES)” will soon allow robots to train themselves without human assistance. This robot self-training algorithm might sound handy, but I’m sure it’s going to create quite a stir in the world of robotic doomsayers.
The EES algorithm not only lets the robots train themselves, but it will also allow them to identify weaknesses in their skills. They can then take those weaknesses and use them to determine where they need to improve their skills. The robots do this by...
