Nathan Labenz Streams AI:AM With Lee and Nehme

Nathan Labenz opened his AI:AM broadcast on Friday morning with Timothy B. Lee of Understanding AI. Labenz posted that Lee accepts the exponential capability curve yet doubts it will produce superintelligence. Later in the stream Labenz interviewed Dr. Jean Nehme of morph, posting that Nehme described soft robotic cells that sense their surroundings and alter shape and stiffness in real time. Labenz posted that Nehme, a former surgeon and co-founder of Digital Surgery, framed physical AI as a hardware problem. Labenz posted that the conversation tested whether flexible sensing appendages could outperform rigid grippers on practical tasks.
