Amazon’s $1 billion industrial innovation fund is to step up investments in companies that combine artificial intelligence and robotics, as the ecommerce giant seeks to drive efficiencies across its logistics network.

Franziska Bossart, head of the corporate venture capital arm that was set up in 2022, told the Financial Times that “generative AI holds a lot of promise for robotics and automation” and is an area “we are going to focus on this year.”

Huh, I always though Musk would be Ted Faro not Bezos.

Ahem, Fuck Ted Faro.

Given what we learned about the Neuralink monkeys, I think there's a major difference between Musk and Faro.

Musk's drones would devour dolphins by design, not because they learned it on their own and became out of control.
