Mind the Gap: The Little Robot That Refused to Die
[curious] A research team uploads a video last week. In it, a small robot — no bigger than a shoebox — gets stomped, twisted, dropped off a ledge. And every single time... it just... gets back up. [surprised] Not rebooted. Not repaired. It literally reshapes itself and keeps walking. Like a starfish regrowing a limb, except it was designed by an algorithm that had never seen a starfish....
In today's episode, Alex and Maya explore how Toronto's economy, AI's rapid evolution, and behavioural science intersect — and what it all means for how we live and work.
Takeaway: [warm] And I'm Maya. Go be resilient out there. We'll see you tomorrow.
New episodes drop every weekday morning.
