The World’s First Humanoid Robot Games Kick Off in Beijing
Beijing just hosted the opening of the world’s first Humanoid Robot Games, and it’s exactly as wild as it sounds. Over 500 androids from 16 countries are squaring off in everything from 100-meter hurdles to kung fu — with performances ranging from clumsy tumbles to flashes of jaw-dropping agility. Events mix traditional sports like basketball and sprinting with real-world skills like medicine sorting and cleaning. And while the robots aren’t breaking human records yet, China’s message is clear: humanoids are at the center of its national strategy, and they’re investing heavily to lead the field.
Key Takeaways:
500+ humanoid robots competed in sports and practical tasks.
China is positioning humanoids as a core tech priority, backed by a ¥1 trillion fund for robotics and AI startups.
The fastest 1500m robot finished in 6:29 — double the human record, but still impressive for a machine.
My Take:
It’s part spectacle, part serious signal. China isn’t just showing off robots for fun — this is a massive flex of its robotics ambitions. Ten years from now, today’s clumsy kung fu bots could be agile enough to work, fight, or perform alongside humans.
AI QUICK HITS
🔈️ A new study shows the top 10 AI chatbots now control 58.8% of all AI web traffic, with ChatGPT alone pulling in 46.59 billion visits over the past year, far outpacing rivals like Gemini, Claude, and Grok.
⚡️ A growing number of AI experts warn that China’s massive energy surplus is giving it a decisive edge in the AI race, while the U.S. struggles with a strained power grid that can’t keep up with surging data center demand
🧠 Anthropic has added an optional memory feature to its Claude chatbot, letting users recall and build on past conversations to continue projects without starting over, though it only works when prompted and doesn’t store a persistent profile.

Altman Admits 'Yes, AI is in a Bubble' - Here's the Survival Play
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed AI is in a bubble, calling it "insane" that startups with "three people and an idea" receive massive valuations in "not rational behavior." Comparing it to the '90s dot-com crash, Altman warns "someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money" while "a lot of people are going to make a phenomenal amount of money." Despite bubble warnings, he expects OpenAI to "spend trillions of dollars on data center construction" as infrastructure investments survive corrections while overvalued startups don't.
Why this matters for your income: AI bubble admission from industry's top CEO creates strategic positioning opportunities for entrepreneurs who build sustainable businesses instead of chasing valuations. Smart operators are focusing on profitable AI services with real revenue, preparing to acquire undervalued assets when the correction hits, and targeting infrastructure plays like data centers that survive market crashes. The window is closing to build solid businesses before "someone loses a phenomenal amount of money" and consolidation begins.
Key Takeaways:
Build revenue-focused AI businesses: Avoid valuation games and focus on profitable services that survive market corrections
Infrastructure survives bubbles: Data centers and core AI infrastructure continue growing while overvalued startups crash
Acquisition opportunities coming: Market correction will create bargain prices for solid AI assets from overleveraged companies
