  MELANIA TRUMP: “Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato. Access to the classical studies is now instantaneous. Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort of your own home.” Melania Trump pushes for robots to replace real teachers. [video]

  That robot walking next to Melania Trump belongs to a company worth $39 billion. It's called Figure 03, made by Figure AI. Goldman Sachs projects the entire global market for humanoid robots will be $38 billion by 2035. One company is already valued higher than the whole industry
