Jason watches a lot of non-fiction films but he says Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes profile “You Can See Everything” is “the greatest documentary of all time.” It’s currently hitting 98% with both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, which almost NEVER happens.
Hear his spoiler-free reaction on today’s brand-new TWiST.
Plus how Clone Robotics CEO Dhanush Radhakrishnan has completely rethought the mechanics of humanoid robots in a quest to make them maximally lifelike and realistic, and why Jason prefers Elon’s “give every kid a share of SpaceX” plan to Anthropic’s Public Benefit Fund.

The Hand of Torso 3 was made in April 2026 and marks the last of Clone’s legacy Hand designs. Over last 6 months, Clone has re-designed the entire system from the ground up, optimizing for simulatibility and controllability without compromising on human-level capabilities.

Had a wonderful time unveiling the Torso 3 at the Abundance Summit this week! Video coming soon.

Excited to be speaking at the Abundance Summit in Ranchos Palos Verdes on March 10th! Come check out my fireside chat with @PeterDiamandis to learn more about the lifelike, synthetic humans that we are pioneering at Clone with our next-generation hydraulic muscle technology!

Dario acknowledges the multi-trillion dollar robotics opportunity, yet Anthropic is not hiring robotics talent; even as OpenAI and Google DeepMind aggressively build out their own robotics teams.
"Will the robotics industry will be generating trillions of dollars of revenue?", "YES."
Dario Amodei says breakthroughs in robotics could emerge in several ways, such as through continual learning or generalization.
Once achieved, these models will revolutionize both robot design and control. However, it will likely take another year or two from that point for the technology to diffuse through the economy.

Start with the hardest constraint.
In this clip, Dhanush from @clonerobotics explains why Clone spent its first two years focused almost entirely on the hand…
Building a fully actuated, human-level robotic hand by strength, speed, and range of motion is hard. Making it incredibly durable is even more challenging.
Clone has pioneered anthropomorphic hands with 27 degrees of freedom, human-level grip strength and speed, and the most durable artificial muscles in the world.
The Hand in this demo is missing middle flexor muscles, but here’s an update on the neural joint controller.

ELON: HANDS' FUNCTIONS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX TO REPLICATE IN ROBOTS
"The hand is extremely complex. There are 50 actuators in the hand, with the hand and forearm.
An actuator is the motor, gearbox, and power electronics.
So that’s 100 per robot, really a lot of actuators and sensors. Approximately.
In order to do dexterous tasks, you have to have a hand with the sensitivity, precision, and degrees of freedom of a human hand.
Because something that we find easy to do, like pick up a screwdriver or turn a wrench, or even thread a needle or play the guitar, actually requires a lot of dexterity."

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
