Podcast: why humanoids get to defense before your home does
audrow · x · 2026-10-13
Skylark Labs founder Amarjot Singh explains why humanoids ship to defense before homes: imitation learning works 70-90% of the time, far short of the 99.99% most industries need, but kicking in a door is fine at 70% if it keeps humans out of harm's way. Topics include bomb-sweeping humanoids, 1000x less data, spotting camouflaged tanks, and a humanoid Turing test.
