Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Let's be clear, humanoid robots are going to struggle for a little bit. This is not exactly a fair comparison, but the 1x Neo just unleashed a new video today, which is very exciting. When you watch it, it can go into a home, it can do all sorts of interesting chores, it can do all sorts of interesting things. It's going to autonomously learn from your home. They are now offering these for sale to come out in 2026. Pretty cool. I will say the one thing that's important to understand in this video that I showed at the very beginning of this came from Joanna Stern's hands-on with it. Joanna Stern is an amazing tech reporter from the Wall Street Journal. And what's always interesting with these kind of things is looking at the launch video, which again, not to crap on 1x Robotics, they are doing insane stuff and what's happening here is remarkable in humanoid robotics. But Joanna kind of puts it through its paces and you see a little bit more clearly like what is actually possible right now versus what the video shows you from 1x. Again, this is very cool that this is possible. One thing that's not kind of clear, I think, in the video from 1x that Joanna makes very clear is that right now, all of these are remote operated, meaning that there is an operator that is going to be responsible for doing the chores in your home and doing all the stuff that it does. The other thing that Joanna makes pretty clear here, and again, I'm not trying to say that this is not incredible technology because it really is, is you can see how hard it is to do simple stuff like loading a dishwasher. And this is with a person actually operating it here. So it's an incredible series of videos, both the actual video that came out from the company and the fact that they've gotten to this place already. I mean, it's 2025. If you had told me a couple years ago we'd be seeing this, I would be shocked. But then the other video, which is a really important thing to always see and it's another side of the tech world, is like making sure you see the actual use case of it right now for what it is versus what's promised in the future. Both are remarkable and I think you should both go check them out.
