Unitree, jump-kicks and robot intimidation

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do.

NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool.

Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum.

We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration.

THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.
