The Rise of Liquid Robots: A Discussion on AI and Future Tech

In this episode of The Todd Pod, things go completely off the rails in the best way possible.

We talk about:

• South Korea’s real-life Terminator slime robot

• Leasing Tesla’s Optimus robot to do dishes and mop

• ChatGPT’s most useful and most absurd uses

• Writing Python code to beat online roulette (but never collecting data)

• The Prestige, teleportation, and whether you’re you if you get beamed

• AI versions of dead podcasters and eternal digital gravestone avatars

Come for the conversation, stay for the rabbit holes—and if you’re cloned by the end of the episode, it’s not our fault.
