Descripción

Brad reconnects with Scarlett Koller, who he first met as an MIT sophomore for Amazon’s original Prime Air intern cohort, back when drone delivery was a “60 Minutes” segment, not a product. She’s since delivered on SpaceX Crew Dragon, NASA Perseverance, and Amazon Kuiper, and now runs Mithril , a deep tech startup reshaping space sensing. They trade stories on why NASA’s shuttle veterans cared so much about a simple handle, why people are harder to engineer than radiation, and how an antenna the size of a volleyball court, controlled to the thickness of a sheet of paper, could keep us from losing low Earth orbit.

Is The World Really Built for Humans? Unlocking AI’s Potential with Alfred Lin

Everyone says humanoid robots will win because the world was built for humans. But was it? Sequoia Capital partner Alfred Lin joins Cobot CEO Brad Porter for a conversation spanning their shared history, from the Zappos deal that almost convinced Amazon robots would never work, to why Alfred's father's journey from farmer to bank president is the best case for AI optimism. They dig into why the best robot form factor might not have hands at all, what the "ChatGPT moment" for robotics already is, and why every technology wave demands a combination of new hardware and software that we haven't yet seen on the consumer side for AI.
