🦾OpenAI’s New Job Listings Reveal Robotics Roadmap

OpenAI’s new Hardware Director posted two new job listings across social media platforms that reveal the company’s robotics roadmap.
Key Details:
Meta’s former Head of Hardware, Caitlin Kalinowski, recently joined OpenAI to build robotics applications that “bring AI into the physical world.
On Friday, she posted two new job listings on X:
Mechanical Product Engineer: Designing motors, gears, and actuators (i.e., “muscles”) for robots.
Systems Integration Electrical Engineer: Integrating sensors into robots to help them “perceive” and “interact” with the physical world.
OpenAI is building “general-purpose,” “adaptive,” and “versatile” robots that operate in “dynamic,” “real-world” settings.
Why It’s Important:
Robotics is a hot commodity. According to Crunchbase, the sector raised over $6.4 billion in 2024.
OpenAI has explored building humanoid robots capable of performing unsafe, repetitive, or tedious tasks in households and warehouses.
🩺 PULSE CHECK
Will humanoid robots become common household items within the next 10 years?
AI RESEARCH
🧬AI Predicts Inner Workings of Cells
Researchers at Columbia University (CU) developed “GET,” an AI model that accurately predicts the Gene Expression of any human cell.
Key Details:
Gene Expression is when a cell “reads” the instructions stored within DNA to create proteins.
Understanding Gene Expression is crucial because it reveals how cells function by controlling which proteins are produced.
This knowledge enables scientists to accurately diagnose conditions and develop targeted cures for diseases.
“GET” is trained on a dataset of over 1.3 million cells from normal human tissues.
“GET” determines which genes are active within specific cells, telling scientists the cell’s identity and which activities it performs.
It also highlights relationships between genes over a million DNA sequences apart, revealing long-range genetic interactions.
Why It’s Important:
“GET” participated in a study where it accurately forecasted gene patterns 94% of the time.
“It turns biology from a science that describes seemingly random processes into a science that predicts the underlying functions that govern cell behavior,” said Raul Rabadan, Senior Author of the study.

🪦AI-Generated Minion Videos of Real Murders on TikTok

People are leveraging Runway’s “Gen-3 Alpha” to transform videos of real murders into animated Minions and post them on TikTok. It’s a way to bypass TikTok’s Community Guidelines of removing “gory, gruesome, disturbing, or extremely violent content.”
These Minion Gore videos include executions, war footage, and workplace accidents on construction sites. A Minionfied version of the Christchurch Mosque Shootings attracted over 250,000 views.
These Minionfied videos showcase how bad actors can weaponize AI-powered video generators to trivialize horrific events, exploit human suffering, and desensitize children to violence.
