Josh Gruenstein of Tutor Intelligence on the factories their robots work in: "None of these places can hire." The year-over-year data agrees: - Hours per worker are up in all 10 manufacturing categories - Hours per worker are growing faster than headcount in 7 of 10 "Back-breaking work that's really hard to hire for. There's a three-month turnover and your average age of the worker doing that work is 55 years old and about to retire... Have you ever considered a robot for 16 bucks an hour?" @joshgruenstein @tutorintel a16z @a16z Tutor Intelligence co-founder and CEO Josh Gruenstein is putting AI robots to work in American factories and warehouses, taking on the back-breaking jobs they can't hire for. Tutor builds its robots in Massachusetts and charges by the hour, with no upfront cost. When the AI gets stuck, a human "tutor" takes over and teaches it the task, creating training data along the way. Josh joins a16z's Martin Casado and Raghu Raghuram to discuss how Tutor goes from a first sales call to a working robot in about three months, why so many robot startups died building for a single customer, why anyone will be able to start a business in the physical world, and a whole lot more. 0:50 Deploy robots, then build the data 2:50 Why smart robots aren't enough 4:38 The ultimate systems problem 6:45 Why robot companies go vertical 9:07 How remote humans tutor robots 11:00 Will robots outgrow their tutors? 14:54 How AI labs sped up robotics 16:57 Meet Cassie and Sonny 20:55 What factory work actually looks like 23:18 A robot for $16 an hour 25:51 When robots become coworkers 29:04 Why robot startups keep dying 31:21 When 1% cheaper flips a market 34:52 Robots cost more to run than to buy 38:18 China's automation bet may backfire 42:02 Real-world RL on a 100-robot fleet YouTube: youtu.be/lXkjXSul6yg @joshgruenstein @tutorintel @martin_casado @RaghuRaghuram Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 11 🔄 2 ❤️ 35 👀 13379 📊 10 ⚡
