In this episode, Peter and Brett discuss the future of humanoid robots, predicting that there could be up to 10 billion humanoids on Earth in the coming decades. Adcock shares his vision for creating autonomous general-purpose humanoids that can be inserted into the economy to perform physical labor, making it a choice rather than a necessity.
