U.S. Bans New Chinese Humanoids, Zuck’s Op-Ed, eBay's $56M Lawsuit | Diet TBPN
870 segments
The US government has banned Chinese
humanoid robots. US is banning new
imports of foreign made humanoid robots,
quadruped robots, robot dogs, you might
know them by.
Very controversial based on we got to
get General Catalyst to weigh in on this
cuz aren't they anti-robot dog? Wasn't
that the whole thing of the video? Maybe
I'm misremembering. So they must be
celebrating.
>> platform VCs are pro
robot dogs.
>> Everyone should be pro robot dog.
Anyway,
it's there's nothing wrong with a robot
dog unless it's a geopolitical
discussion and then there's another
another layer to the debate.
So the Federal Communications
Commission's FCC today announced some
restrictions and these apply to new
versions of those products. FCC chair
Brendan Carr said the move is intended
to quote secure America's critical
supply chains. China meanwhile has
condemned the decision as protectionism.
Is that because they're protecting the
the small children from getting smacked
in the face by the humanoid robots?
It is protectionism.
>> I know that video I think that you're
referring to.
>> Yeah, brutal.
>> Absolutely brutal. We should try to pull
it up. Try to find the humanoid kicking
a child, please.
Sounds wrong but I just want to get at
the truth.
>> Yes.
>> I just want the truth.
>> The move comes as Chinese companies have
established a commanding lead in
humanoid robot robotics. Of the roughly
15,000 humanoid robots shipped worldwide
in 2025, China's Unitree and
Agibot AGI bot, I'm not sure how you
pronounce that, each delivered
>> Okay, we have the video of the robot
kicking the child.
>> Oof, brutal. There's another one where
he's spinning around and gives him sort
of like a spinning back fist but that is
a crazy and
>> That is
>> Seeing that you're kind of like yeah, I
would I'm up for some protection.
>> Gross negligence.
>> If it's going to
if it's going to protect children, I
think it's maybe in the best interest.
Now, that's not why this is happening,
of course.
So, 5,000 units were delivered from
from
each Unitree and Agibot. By comparison,
US companies including Tesla and Figure
shipped only a few hundred robots each
if that. China is also estimated to
control about 85% of the global humanoid
robotics market and also a ton of the
deep supply chain, obviously. According
to the the Associated Press, the
restrictions are expected to add new
tension to US-China relations ahead of a
planned September meeting between
Chinese President Xi Jinping and US
President Donald Trump. The FCC argues
the measures are necessary to reduce
potential risks poised posed by
connected foreign-made devices that
could become part of critical American
infrastructure.
What's interesting here is that we're
seeing a ban on a Chinese technology
that is
so nascent that you don't have a
coalition of companies that are saying,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. I've deployed. My
business is built on top of Unitree. I
know there's geopolitical
considerations, but I can't make the
cars that I make without them. I can't
run my business without them, and so
this is going to hurt me." No one's
really stepping up in the same way that
they are with Chinese LLMs, which a lot
of companies are like, "No, I'm actually
going to cut my inference cost by 80% if
I can
>> And you have all of the the various
cloud businesses that are already making
money
>> making money from them. Exactly.
>> Yeah, I'm I'm I saw a bunch of people
that were sort of
saying that they didn't like this, that
it was, you know, protectionist and and
that there must have been some American
humanoid or robotics companies that were
pushing lobbying for this in DC. Maybe
there were, but I personally don't want
100 million
humanoid robots in this country running
around that that not made by a US
company. Or at least a Western ally.
>> Yeah. Where since there's been the DJI
ban, there's been various surveillance
uh tools that are banned, but there's
still so many different uh pieces of
technology from that come from all over
the world. Um I wonder where people
would like to draw the line generally on
technology. Like is it okay if the Wi-Fi
router is made internationally?
>> Well, we drew the line on Huawei.
>> Yeah, on Huawei on the 5G tower
specifically, but most you can still get
a router that you know, a Wi-Fi router
for your house that comes from China. Um
and you have to imagine that many of the
actuators, the motors, the batteries,
CATL cattle that company ships batteries
for all sorts of stuff. The the Google
Waymo approach I think is probably the
correct like finding the line. So Waymo
is sourcing like almost all the parts
for the new Waymos from China, but they
are building them I believe in the
United States and all of the software is
from Google or Alphabet or Waymo. And so
you have to imagine that they're able to
tear all these pieces down and sort of
maintain their own cybersecurity
posture, which is really what this is
all about. But uh it is interesting. Do
you think this actually accelerates the
American humanoid market?
>> I mean these companies have already
raised a lot of money. Elon's putting
billions into it.
>> Yeah.
>> Figures managed to raise billions.
Uh I think that the first thing that we
need is profitable use cases for
humanoids.
Uh and so
I think there's a lot of work that the
industry needs to do to make these to
make these products like genuinely
valuable in the home, in workplaces, in
factory settings, all these things. Uh I
think that's a bigger problem. I think
if you
uh it does feel inevitable at this point
just because there's so much money going
into it, so many smart people dedicating
all their time to it. It feels
inevitable. Maybe it speeds it up a
little bit. It just felt like we were
going to end up in a situation where
they would just continue to dump
humanoids
onto our you know, you could buy
you probably still can buy Unitree robot
on Walmart.
>> I was asking Tyler about this because
you used to be able to buy a Unitree G1
I believe or one of their robots on
Walmart which was sort of crazy and the
price was accessible. I mean it was
still tens of thousands of dollars but
it was something that a research lab
could buy pretty easily. I wonder if
there will be other ways for companies
to to get access to uh this task these
products at least for benchmarking
because they will be competing
internationally like even in a world
where you know, Tesla
gets to the frontier of humanoid robots
with Optimus and then they're going up
against um
uh and a a Unitree
>> Yeah.
>> for
uh a deployment in Germany like BYD,
right? BYD and Tesla compete
internationally even though Tesla's
Tesla's can still be sold in in China
but not vice versa. Um
but uh internationally there needs to be
a lot of like what are the capabilities
so you can actually sell against your
competitor.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh even if you're
>> So far everything Unitree I'm seeing on
Walmart is out of stock. So I don't know
if they just marked it out of stock when
this went live or they had just sold
out.
>> This will probably spike if they hit
cars and bids or bring a trailer. I
think you throw a Unitree G1 last
edition final edition banned can't buy
them anymore.
>> bots and bids?
>> Bots and bids. [laughter] That might be
it. I was listening to to Elon Musk on
uh the Economist. He sat down with the
Economist for a long form interview.
There were there was a clip that went
sort of viral for some some sharp jabs
back and forth about the media and and
how the public perceives the media but
the much more interesting substance was
about his vision.
>> the crash out.
>> Yes, it was it was described as a crash
out but that seemed like a very small
section of what was actually interesting
about the more than an hour they talked.
Uh
one was um I mean he talks about
humanoid robots and he paints a very
clear vision for the Optimus program and
it made me
really hope that there's a lot of focus
there because that feels like an
industry where like he obviously has a
very strong philosophy around XAI and
Grok and you saw it in the SpaceX X S1
where the market for enterprise software
was like 22 trillion or something like
that. And so
there is some value there. It might make
sense from a business perspective, but
it was
less inspiring than rockets, less
inspiring than self-driving electric
cars because you as you go back you
think about SpaceX and you think if he
hadn't worked on that probably wouldn't
have a rocket company in America. And
same thing with the electric cars like
yeah, GM had the EV1. There were a
couple other companies that were sort of
like
testing things, but we'd probably be 10
years behind if he hadn't sort of like
sheer force of willed that into
existence. And it feels the same for
humanoid robots where if he can really
go and push that extremely hard and
marshal all the capital and do all the
difficult things to build the supply
chain, make it happen, make it work, you
you can get to a place where there is
a national champion in America, but if
if Grok stopped training and there were
no more XAI LLMs like there would still
be a massive competition between OpenAI,
Anthropic, Meta, Google. Like there's
plenty of really well-funded
hyperscalers and leading labs that are
going to provide that service of like
ask a question and get an answer or fire
off a prompt and get some code back. Um
that that that the the the American
humanoid robotics industry feels much
more fragile in the sense that if you
don't have this massive hammer of
capital and will coming to bear, you
could just wind up with it never
happening, which I worry about.
>> Yeah, and America needs to figure out
how to make billions of robots.
>> Mhm.
>> Itself.
>> I do wonder how this is going to play
into all the other discussions that are
going to happen at that US visit by
Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He's
scheduled to meet with US President
Donald Trump in September. Um
I'm I'm interested to see are they going
to be doing
>> uh can you see if we can possibly get
him on the show?
>> [laughter]
>> What if she was just like, "Yeah, I'm
meeting with the president, but I'm also
going on a 50 podcast tour while I'm
here."
>> Get him on Yeah. There's a bunch of good
shows he could he could do. Uh he should
do
>> Modern Wisdom. I want to understand his
mindset.
>> great. I'd love him to I'd love to see
him on Hot Ones.
>> Joe Rogan, of course. I mean
>> That should be kind of the
the last show.
>> But Nelk would be like the obvious his
choice.
>> Yeah.
>> A lot of world leaders
>> have a history of
>> World leaders have been on there. That's
true.
>> Controversial world leaders.
>> That's true. Why not Xi Jinping? Dean
Ball's going back and forth with Will
Maniatis. Uh Dean says, "Do we think the
Silicon Valley leaders who were so up in
arms about using Chinese LLMs last week
will be similarly outraged about the US
government's decision to ban import of
all advanced robotics from all foreign
countries? Is Maniatis going to write an
essay about how the US robot companies
need to be nationalized in exchange for
this policy favor?" Will says, "You're
welcome to tag me if you want a take."
What's your take? He does ask him for
it. And Will says, "Dean seems to not
understand that the FCC is issuing a
published rule under statutory authority
with a waiver process and judicial
review is different than a thinly veiled
suggestion that regulators carry out an
extra-legal whisper campaign to protect
the interests of his employer. The
robotics companies need not be
nationalized until they also ask for
public infrastructure preemption federal
backstop of their debt and a sweep swept
market just so they can call themselves
national institutions. When they do send
them my essay and Dean Ball says so wait
if the US straight up and Chinese LMS
using explicit statutory authorities EG
supply chain risk that wouldn't
necessitate lab nationalization but
doing it through soft law would what
your instance
that my analytic prediction was a thinly
veiled suggestion continues to be bad
faith. I wonder
I do wonder if we'll just see more you
know figure shows up in those secondary
demand tables. I wonder if this is
bullish for that. I don't know. I I I
one act just seems to be on a good path
Sunday robotics just seems to be on a
good path. We've talked to a lot of
other companies where the the regulatory
and competitive landscape has always it
hasn't seemed like it's a driver of
financing right? It's not like oh you're
waiting for approval or you're waiting
for some some rule to break. It's like
Yeah, at some point in the future
America's going to want an indigenous
like you know robotic supply chain.
>> Yeah, the compelling teams have raised
anywhere from a hundred million dollars
to billions of dollars.
And now they need to effectively deploy
that and get
commercial use cases starting to ramp
and then I expect them to be able to
raise an order of magnitude more capital
each right? So I don't again I don't
think capital is really a constraint
here
but I think they've raised their sort of
like they've raised their like five
rounds let's say.
>> Yeah, yeah.
Mark Zuckerberg is in the Wall Street
Journal. Paywalled you got to pay to
read what Mark has to say but he penned
an op-ed and he says the US should
accelerate AI development not
restricted. He says the the AI future is
for everyone.
There's some interesting quotes in here.
He's taking shots. He's taking shots at
doom fear-based marketing. He says it is
surprising that the discourse from many
of those who are developing artificial
intelligence is so filled with doom. I
don't understand why anyone who believes
that AI will eliminate most jobs and
much of humanity's relevance would rush
to build that future. The only the
notion that AI is so dangerous that the
only safe path is an extreme con-
concentration of power seems dangerous.
Historically, hoping that an absolute
power will benevolently provide for
humanity if sufficiently enlightened
>> Is he talking about machines of love and
grace?
>> I think so. Something like that. Hasn't
led to safer positive outcomes. Humanity
has witnessed many transformative
advances. Each time there is fear that
people will be left behind, but each
time humanity has come out with more
people sharing greater prosperity,
health, and freedom. We believe this
will be true with AI as well, and the
abundance of the future can be shared by
everyone. He's abundance pilled. Um And
so, I think it's good to sort of reset,
you know, where he is. He's been He's
been He's talked about AI a bunch, but
it's never been like right on the cusp,
but he's just like throwing his hat
firmly in this camp of, you know, he's
he's he's obviously playing in AI, but
has a particularly positive vision, um
and he's sort of throwing down the
gauntlet. If you think If you think AI
is so bad then stop working and and let
[laughter] me let me work on it.
>> cook.
>> I don't know. Um but not too much
like chatter around this. Um it did
stand in in opposition. You know, he's
saying you the United States should
accelerate AI development. At the same
time there's this open letter from a
bunch of lab employees saying like,
"Hey, maybe we should do a mutual pause.
Maybe we should all slow down." And uh I
I think even some meta researchers
signed that as well, but there's like a
wide group from uh OpenAI, Anthropic, a
bunch of other firms, Google, uh that
all signed. Uh John Palmer, of course,
uh
ever the TVP and promoter says TVP and
must publish an open letter against
distillation after their model was
distilled by every competitor in the
industry. And I said, "I'm advocating
for a complete and total podcast ban,
multi-federal year multi-year federal
approval process for new RSS feeds to
get issued." Uh
Uh he says, "Better hurry up and write
that open letter before Chinese
technology network launches." I think a
Chinese TVP and would actually be
electric. I think that'd be amazing.
>> to watch.
>> love that. Uh
you know, just wildly different. They
just don't do the going direct thing
over there the same way. You know, there
was like the Deep Seek Investor Meeting
4 hours that was like leaked. That's not
the same as actually sitting down with
someone that has a particular point of
view.
>> down with a stack of 200 posts and just
chit-chatting.
>> I don't know. Maybe it does exist, but
uh when Dwarkesh went to China,
>> [laughter]
>> it was such a funny observation. He had
a bunch of observations, but the one
that really stuck out to me was he was
like, "I asked everyone,
and I and it is clear, China does not
have a Joe Rogan." Like they don't have
someone who is like a larger-than-life
yapper, political commentator, just like
a guy who talks about everything
including politics. Uh and there's a
political reasons for that, but it's
also maybe cultural, and it's just
interesting because the demand for that
would be electric. I I feel like you
have to uh you have to imagine that like
Joe Rogan clips make their way around
the world and are sort of like a
barometer for where the American psyche
is at in a certain in a certain way,
like a certain group of of Americans um
feel that way. There's this other post
uh that's sort of interesting to see
where the Anthropic back and forth on
the open letter goes. Obviously,
Anthropic uh clarified their stance on
open source, not advocating for a
complete and total ban, but they're very
worried about distillation, they're very
worried about cybersecurity, and they're
very worried about authoritarian uses of
AI. All good points. Chetan over at
Benchmark says Anthropic very publicly
claiming there needs to be a crackdown
on distillation is puzzling. It's a $1
trillion company with incredible
resources and the distillation attacks
at the scale they describe would seem
easy to detect. I don't know how easy
they are to detect. I think the people
you know, harness up a whole bunch of
different VPNs and stuff. But at the
same time, it's like it's an AI company.
Put AI on the job, maybe you should be
able to detect it. So, we'll take his
point. But he says
>> be able to find a needle in the biggest
haystack of all [laughter] time.
>> Yeah. [clears throat]
>> The world's largest haystack.
>> benchmark. But he says the only cost
would be giving up the associated API
revenue. So, you should have a very
aggressive
a very aggressive internal policy around
if you're suspected of a distillation
attack, you're kicked off the API. Of
course, in a very short amount of time,
you can fire off a lot of prompts and
get a lot of tokens. And you can do that
a lot of around across all across a lot
of different accounts. What what do you
think about this?
>> Yeah, I mean,
um
detecting distillation seems like a very
hard problem. If I think if it was
trivial, they would have just done it.
>> Yeah, of course.
>> And also seems like it's not that big of
a like percentage of the revenue. Like
I'd be surprised if if like distillation
attacks accounted for a large amount of
of like
>> Yeah, I don't I don't think it I don't
think it's meaningful.
>> Also, so it does it does feel like it's
hard um
because a lot of it doesn't actually go
through the direct API necessarily. Like
it goes through a a company that is
vending a service and then someone is
prompting that service and so you're
further obfuscating it. Like there are a
number of different sort of wrappers
that effectively wrap various Frontier
APIs and and if you're getting hit
in a bunch of different you're blending
all of that together, you're looking at
open-source stuff. There's also just
people that will
like this just happened with
uh was it Matt Schumer? He He basically
uploaded to GitHub a game that he made
with Opus 5 along with the prompt. And
so you you can sort of distill on that
like it's only one data point or you
know
you know a small bag of tokens, but
there's a lot of people that will share
a prompt and the actual output. And so
you can train on that and there's no way
to detect that you found that. What's
interesting here is that the knock-on
effect of Chetan's point is that if
Anthropic takes Chetan's advice, you
wind up giving out the model less
frequently and being more closed about
it, which is something 3 months ago
everyone in the ecosystem was like this
is annoying. Like I'm a small startup. I
can't get into the mythos tier. I can't
get access to project Glasswing. I'm not
an enterprise level
you know customer. But I still So I just
don't get frontier intelligence and I
just get steamrolled by you know
Microsoft who has access to it or Apple
who has access to it or whatever. Um
and so this the whole idea of like if
the if if a
amazing intelligence and amazing model
is made, should it be widely available?
That's actually at odds with
distillation because you have to hunt
those bad actors down and you play this
whack-a-mole. So I don't know. It is it
is tricky. We'll see we'll see where it
goes. We'll see where it goes. Anyway.
>> Apparently over on Facebook Marketplace
people are adding a a sort of gold aura
to their listings. Would this make you
more likely to buy, John?
>> Ooh, it does look like a rare drop.
>> Yeah. [laughter] And
for only $25 picking up this table with
that
level of aura certainly tempting.
>> I it does make me like it more. I think
it actually works. I've seen people do
this where they add they'll add like a
woman to it as like the salesperson
basically with AI and that draws more
attention on Facebook Marketplace. I
don't know if I've ever bought anything
on Facebook Marketplace, but maybe
maybe we should try and
have Tyler do like a trade a trade a
paperclip into a car challenge. Have you
ever seen these? Ryan Trahan and there's
>> Tyler would be exceptional at that kind
of thing.
>> You think you could You think you could
trade up from something on your desk?
>> this would definitely help it.
>> Yeah.
>> Giving it some kind of something.
>> basically you have to look for the most
unoptimized listings that are
undervalued and then trade and then once
you buy them
give them the ultimate glow up on
uh on uh with AI images, put them back
up for higher price
in increase your margin, start printing.
This is a very Gary V hustle, for sure.
>> [snorts]
>> Um
>> pretty incredible story. eBay pays
couple fix $56 million
for its role in cockroach harassment
campaign.
>> That is a crazy headline. It's
>> received threatening deliveries
including funeral wreaths after
criticizing the e-commerce retailer in a
blog. So this couple, David and Inna
Steiner, were harassed, it sounds like,
for years for criticising criticizing
eBay. Who knew that criticizing eBay
could get you uh in this much trouble.
Of course, it's eBay that ended up
getting in trouble.
Um but uh
>> So they had an online e-commerce blog
called e-commerce bites and they
criticized eBay uh on that and then back
in 2019, so this has been going on for
like 7 years. There's a whole new
executive team in in in place now, but
there were actually criminal charges in
2020. Seven employees of the company
were sentenced to prison terms ranging
between 1 and 5 years.
>> And so what were they doing?
Uh eBay leadership apparently mailed a
series of threatening deliveries to the
Steiners' home in 2019.
>> That's crazy.
>> So including a box of live cockroaches,
a bloody pig's head mask. I don't even
know what that is. Is this a real pig
head that's been turned into a mask or
is it hopefully just a a sort of a
Hollywood remake of that? And a funeral
wreath, the Steiners also accuse
executives of online harassment
including online posts inviting
strangers to their house for sex.
>> Also
>> Absolutely insane. Who like
in what in what world is is a company is
a public company like eBay just getting
some criticism which all companies do
[laughter]
>> Yeah, yeah, it's like I'm sorry
>> takes it this personally that you're
going to try to ruin the lives of two
people that are already in your in your
industry and just like
>> of e-commerce bites blogs showing up in
your quarterly reports? Like was it
actually that damaging?
>> eBay pleaded guilty in 2023 in a
criminal case over harassment and paid a
$3 million penalty following criminal
charges in 2027 employees of the
companies were sentenced to prison terms
ranging from 1 to 5 years.
>> It's absolutely brutal.
>> According to court documents eBay
executives grew increasingly upset by
the Steiners critical coverage of the
company in early 2019 leading then
executive
Devin Wenig to test to text another
executive that it was time to crush
the Steiners and take her down referring
to
Ina. That summer harassment against the
Steiners escalated from threatening
messages to delivering items to their
home which also included a book about
surviving spousal bereavement.
>> like sort of a death threat I guess.
>> Yeah.
>> Right.
What's
>> Uh also sending
uh
adult magazines to neighbors homes in
the husband's name. So just like
completely trying to destroy this
couple's
life and and uh marriage. eBay employees
also traveled to Massachusetts to
vandalize the Steiners home and stalk
them around their hometown.
All the employees involved in the
harassment were fired in September 2019,
eBay said.
Uh
the lawsuit was actually started in
2021. Under the settlement, so we have a
we have a good ending here. I think it's
a fair ending. [laughter]
Under the settlement, the couple will
receive 48 million
>> Okay.
>> compensation from eBay and former
employees. eBay will also pay 6 million
to charitable charitable organizations.
>> That's good.
>> And Wenig will pay 1 million to a free
speech charity in Ina Steiner's name.
>> This is like the ultimate Streisand
effect. I never would have heard about
e-commerce bytes or their criticism of
eBay if they hadn't done all this. What
a mess.
>> e-commerce bytes
>> I'm I'm looking up exactly what they
said because eBay is,
in my opinion, just the most set it and
forget it company that's just had the
same service for 20 years, basically.
>> Well.
>> But now we're going to get to the bottom
of it. Big news out of the Fed.
Uh the Fed holds rate steady, but three
officials voted for a rate increase. The
rate has been unchanged in in this July
meeting. Uh the split shows pressure
building inside the central bank to act
on inflation two months after Chairman
Kevin Warsh took over, and the Dow skids
1,100
points as investors worry about Fed next
steps. They're thinking that there might
be a rate hike in the uh in reaction to
inflation, of course, uh somewhat driven
by energy prices, oil prices. Oil is
spiking again. And so, lots of tricky
news for the uh global economy, but
fortunately, the economy chugs on, and
the economy is strong. So,
>> I believe in it.
>> I believe in it, too. Never never black
pill. Dwar Kesh Patel certainly not
black pilling. Gavin Baker uh quote
tweeted Dwar Kesh's uh po- post that
predicted uh lab revenues in the
trillions very shortly. Uh Gavin Baker
says, "I see a
a series of fairly wild thoughts from
Dwarkesh.
I thought I was bullish, but even I am
not assuming that the price of to rent
compute continues to go up. I will say
that I am in Silicon Valley this week
and Dwarkesh is capturing the zeitgeist.
Net net, public markets would probably
be trading differently if they saw the
OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok cursor, and open
source numbers over the last 6 weeks
because everything is growing even in
you you there's so much horse race
around oh, open source is going to come
and grow and it's like, well, sometimes
open source comes and grows and
everything else grows, too. And that's
what we've seen uh, throughout the whole
deep seek saga when the lab revenues
grew a ton even though open source was
big.
>> Yeah, there's a comment here that I
think is on the nose.
>> Please.
>> J Capital says, "Timeline is very
interesting. All private AI companies
have their best 6 weeks while retail AI
/ semis have their worst 6 weeks."
>> Very, very interesting.
>> So, disconnect there.
>> Yeah. I mean, one of them uh, uh, SK
Hynix uh, 64 billion dollars in
quarterly profit was a disappointment
for chip investors and SK Hynix fell 10%
despite record results powered by the AI
boom. The the the profit increase was
incredible. I think they uh, the they
they grew profit over 500% something
like that. Uh, and still the stock
traded down because expectations are so
high, everything's priced to perfection.
Uh, in other news, HBO Max is launching
HBO Max shorts for those who don't have
the attention span to watch an episode
of TV. Uh, it's a mobile feature
designed for users to watch iconic and
memorial scenes from the HBO library in
