The AI Frontier: Robotics, Simulators, and the Future of Labor
Posted by Andrew Mayne on January 23rd, 2025 
In this episode, Andrew Mayne, Justin Robert Young, and Brian Brushwood discuss the recent flurry of AI announcements from OpenAI’s Shipmas event and Google’s AI developments. They explore the implications of advanced AI models like GPT-3 and OpenAI’s O3, touching on their potential to revolutionize coding, problem-solving, and even the future of robotics and labor. The hosts speculate on how these technologies could lead to a new era of automation, where tasks from coding to physical labor could be handled by AI-driven robots. They also touch on the concept of physics simulators and their role in advancing robotics by allowing for more efficient testing and development.
