Tesla is taking the next steps in developing its humanoid Optimus robots—or at least it’s hiring workers to take those literal steps. For up to $48 an hour, you could help collect data to train Tesla’s AI-powered robots, designed to automate work in company factories. According to job listings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Tesla’s website, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company is hiring “data collection operators” to gather movement information and provide equipment feedback on the Optimus robots. Workers are required to wear motion-capture suits and virtual reality headsets to simulate the movements and actions of the bots. Per the job listing, applicants must be able to walk for over seven hours a day and should be between 5’7″ and 5’11″ in order to operate the motion-capture suits. Payment ranges between $25.25 and $48 per hour. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dezzpDEU

"Technology, and especially the internet, can really help you be lazy.” In 2009, during his commencement speech to University of Michigan graduates, Google cofounder Larry Page encouraged them to “be lazy.” “Find the leverage in the world so you can be truly lazy,” he said.

I wrote a short newsletter essay on Friday about how the issues related to various criticisms of Temu and SHEIN are more complicated than some opponents care to admit. Thanks to Jason Goldberg for sharing his insights with me and, as a result, our readers. You can check out the full piece in Fortune below. I'd be interested in what many of you think. https://lnkd.in/gPSycmfH

The last time @Jared Isaacman went to space, he chose to go up with a crew of three people, who had no prior spaceflight experience. This time, the founder of payment services company Shift4 is taking an even bigger risk. Isaacman will help fund and join the Polaris Dawn flight from SpaceX, which will take the crew higher than anyone has gone since the 1970s, entering the Van Allen radiation belts 870 miles above the earth (and about 185 miles higher than the International Space Station). That same flight will see the billionaire and other crew members take part in a spacewalk, connected to the spacecraft with only a tether keeping him attached and a hose feeding him oxygen. They will be the first private citizens to do a spacewalk in history. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7BaGepF

Its parent company, Alphabet Inc., currently boasts a $1.9 trillion valuation, tops Fortune’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies, and is in eighth place on the Fortune 500 list of largest companies by revenue.

“Technology, and especially the internet, can really help you be lazy.” Monday marks the 20-year anniversary of Google’s IPO. Safe to say, neither founder Larry Page nor any of that founding team have been lazy. The stock price on that day in August 2004 was $85 per share, which was the low end of its expected $85-to-$95 range. That day, Google sold nearly 20 million shares, notching a valuation of just over $23 billion. In 2009, Page told University of Michigan graduates to seek out avenues of laziness. To clarify: “A group of three people can write software that then millions can use and enjoy. Can three people answer the phone a million times?” he said, illustrating the point. He encouraged the graduates to, like he did, “Find the leverage in the world, so you can be more lazy!” Read more: https://lnkd.in/d5RBivj7
