Robotics startup Generalist AI raises $400 million, requiring all new hires to program a robot in their first week
Former OpenAI lead Evan Morikawa is driving the recruitment

Sentiment
Some users respect GeneralistAI's recruiting approach of highlighting people over its $400M raise, while many others cynically dismiss the hype around assigning custom robotics tasks to new hires as likely to flop or mere performance art.

Fun fact, every new hire at @GeneralistAI gets a completely new task working in their 1st week as an onboarding project. For example, here's @kylieyying and @ben_pekarek pouring a drink & doing a magic trick.
Ping me if you want to come see some robots irl!
