92% AGI Countdown: Gemini Robotics & AI Shift
Gemini Robotics pushes AGI countdown to 92%. How will AI reshape jobs and the physical world around us?
Hey Explorers,
Dylan Curious here, and today we’re talking about a game-changer that’s setting off alarms (the good kind and the existential ones too).
We’re officially living in a world where robots are reasoning in real time. Gemini Robotics has launched a physical-world version of its AI model—Gemini 2.0—and it’s turning heads fast. This model follows commands; it adapts, learns, and solves tasks like folding origami or playing games without ever having been taught those exact moves.
Here’s the most mind-bending part: this leap in robotic capability pushed the AGI countdown to 92%, according to Alan’s conservative estimates. And that’s not hype. We’re watching as machines start reasoning about their environment, handling physical objects with dexterity that rivals, and sometimes surpasses, ours.
I’m talking robots that can organize your cables, prep your meals, and maybe even coach you through your next chess match. They’re learning concepts like “slam dunk” and applying them to objects they’ve never encountered. This level of generalization isn’t about following code—it’s about understanding.
Now, the ripple effects are as real as they are sobering. According to Harvard Business Review, about 50 million US jobs could be directly impacted by generative AI, especially entry-level positions. Entire industries are now at a crossroads where AI could either automate or heavily augment skill acquisition. Will junior engineers still exist, or will AI leapfrog them?
It gets even wilder when you factor in where AI is heading next—outer space. Palantir is partnering with space defense programs to track and manage objects orbiting Earth, preventing catastrophic collisions. AI isn't stopping at office cubicles or factory floors. It’s aiming for the stars.
So here we are, standing on the edge of what will be the most sweeping reform of any other decade in history. Are we ready for a future where our home assistants and workplace collaborators come in the form of reasoning, dexterous robots? The next chapter is being written faster than most expected.
Stay sharp out there.
Warmly,
Dylan Curious
