[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] The New Atlas

[Ted Kochanski]

All,

Here's a very interesting interview of Marc Raibert [formerly founder and
CEO of Boston Dynamic) who is the new founding director of the Boston
Dynamics AI Institute in Kendall Sq.
Raibert is being interviewed by Lex Fridman of MIT quite recently --  Feb
16, 2024
although well before the announcement by BD of the new e-Atlas [my nickname
not theirs]

The Boston Dynamics AI Institute has been funded by Hyundai to the tune of
$400 M

This might be a good video for  a LCTG meeting [though a bit long for one
of our video meets]

more later

Ted
