From a tiny island in Seychelles to the heartland of Ohio, we unpack a wild week in AI. First up: 1X’s “Neo” humanoid—$20k to buy or $500/month to rent—promising laundry, dishes, and errands soon…with a lot of teleoperation today. We debate whether tele-ops is a feature (not a bug), who it employs, and how quickly autonomy could follow.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
