Would designing humanoid fighting robots be much different in a factory, and is it even necessary? by Marwa ElDiwiny

What does a true wall of sound feel like when the vocal still breathes? We sit down with vocalist‑producer Jay Cali (DRUMxWAVE) and mixer‑producer Brian Skeel to unpack the craft behind Severed, big drums, widescreen synths, supportive guitars, and why clarity starts with a shared vision before a single plug‑in loads.We trace the journey from demo to master, beginning with an hour of alignment on emotion, references, and the “mountaintop” vocal image that sets every downstream choice. Brian breaks down how he builds commanding vocals without harshness: Revoice for doubles and harmonies that behave like real performances, meticulous cleanup, Slate's processing for character and control, FabFilter DS for precision, and a touch of L1 to pin dynamics so automation can shape arcs. Width becomes a dynamic fader, verses intimate and centred, choruses opening with MicroShift for that lift you feel more than hear. Jay and Brian also reveal the “demon” breakdown: a vocoder moment sculpted with Baby Audio's Humanoid, tamed by Soothe 2 and widened just enough to shock, then glide.If you've ever struggled to pair synths and guitars, you'll get a clear playbook. Guitars serve aggression rather than steal focus, panned L/R and low‑passed to make way for hi‑hats and vocal air. Synth choices lean on Serum 2 and ANA 2, with patches picked for fit, not flash. The top end gets the same discipline as the low: cut clutter above 10 kHz so the mix doesn't fizz, a lesson that came into focus after upgrading monitors and hearing what the old room hid. And for loudness without lifelessness - around −7.8 LUFS - Brian details a reference‑driven, top‑down chain using Metric AB, soft clipping and bus moves to reduce limiter strain, and focused multiband to keep choruses powerful without pumping.Along the way, you'll pick up collaboration habits that save weeks: arrive with a concise brief and references, label stems to spec, and send specific revision notes. Ready to test it? Grab one current track with guitars, synths, and vocals. Try widening only the chorus vocal and low‑passing rhythm guitars until the breath returns. Hear the space? That's what loud and open can sound like. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend who mixes dense productions, and leave a quick review so more producers can find these deep dives.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow DRUMxWAVEFollow Brian SkeelListen to Chroma CloudSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Download your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Ankle Deep: What is the Best Design for a Humanoid Ankle? by Marwa ElDiwiny

Who will take care of you in old age? Jeff Cardenas, the CEO and co-founder of Apptronik, says the answer is robots. The startup founder set out to build a smart, dexterous robot after watching his grandfathers grow old and dependent in their later years. Beyond healthcare, Cardenas sees robots as essential to U.S. economic growth and national security with applications across industries. Even with the latest advances in artificial intelligence and hardware, what will it take for humanoid robots to make the leap from science fiction to reality? On the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast, Cardenas tells WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins why Apptronik is betting it will create the home robot helper that everyone will want.

Dan Sullivan and Peter Diamandis discuss Elon Musk's prediction that by 2040, humanoid robots could equal the human population. They explore how robots will become a normal part of life, similar to the Industrial Age's factory machines. Peter also highlights the global growth of humanoid robotics and previews innovations coming to the 2026 Abundance Summit. In this episode: There are over 100 humanoid robot companies globally, with significant investments in both China and the U.S. and the rise of humanoid robots is imminent, with predictions of up to 10 billion humanoid robots by 2040. The average price of humanoid robots is projected to be between $20,000 to $30,000, making leasing options feasible for consumers. Humanoid robots are likely to find traction in industrial applications, particularly in dangerous or heavy work environments where reliability is crucial.

Humanoid robots aren't just engaging in play. They are being put to work around the world.

Cybersecurity icon Mikko Hyppönen sits down with David Bombal at Black Hat to explain his bold move from antivirus to anti-drone defense after 34 years. He breaks down why mobile operating systems are the biggest security improvement of the past 15 years, how attackers have shifted from device exploits to human scams, and why he believes defenders currently have the edge with AI. They unpack the rise of fiber-tethered drones that evade RF detection, the coming reality of autonomous “killer robots” (not yet here—but inevitable), and the grim state of privacy as everyday IoT devices go online by default—his “internet asbestos” warning. Mikko also reflects on achieving keynote goals at DEF CON, RSA, and Black Hat, and shares career advice: set goals, don't drift. Topics: mobile OS security, social engineering, AI for defense, zero-day research, drone warfare, privacy and encryption policy, IoT risks, career pivot. // Mikko Hypponen's SOCIALS // X: https://x.com/mikko Website: https://mikko.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hypponen/... // Books REFERENCE // If it's smart it's vulnerable: US: https://amzn.to/41lkSaG UK: https://amzn.to/4oTpOgN // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Anders Inset is here to share on this new work The Singularity Paradox. He shares his journey from capitalist and athlete to author and shares the concept of the technological singularity and the associated risks of creating godlike, self-improving machines without fully understanding their implications. He argues for developing “artificially human intelligence” rooted in human biology to preserve humanity in the face of exponential technological growth. The discussion covers the profound transformations such advancements could bring, from curing diseases and achieving abundant energy to redefining economics, ethics, and human purpose, while warning about dangers like hyper-efficiency, mass unemployment, wealth inequality, and societal instability. We discuss...  Anders shares his background as a former capitalist and athlete turned author of seven books blending science, philosophy, and technology. His latest work, The Singularity Paradox, examines the point where AI surpasses human intelligence and the risks of creating godlike, self-improving machines. Inset sees the singularity as a transformational moment possibly within 10–20 years, reshaping medicine, energy, ethics, and human purpose. He warns that AI's exponential growth leaves little room for error correction compared to past technologies. Potential benefits include curing diseases, abundant energy, and space exploration, but risks include hyper-efficiency eliminating human labor. This efficiency could lead to massive unemployment, extreme wealth inequality, and the need for new wealth distribution models. Inset is more concerned about societal impacts than “killer robot” scenarios, seeing existential risks alongside massive opportunities. The conversation explores whether humanity can responsibly slow or control AI development, drawing comparisons to nuclear weapons and cloning. Global governance is needed to regulate emerging technologies like biotech, AI, and quantum computing to avoid uneven playing fields. Advancements in biotechnology may soon enable life extension and age reversal, raising profound questions about human purpose. Investment opportunities exist in health tech, decentralized finance, and quantum computing, but risk levels vary widely. The decentralized financial system could disrupt traditional monetary structures, but it carries geopolitical risks. Quantum computing threatens current cryptographic security, posing challenges for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Humanoid robots may create a new consumer market with personalized features and subscription services. AI's current impact is limited mostly to process optimization and customer support, with larger economic effects expected by 2026. Scientific breakthroughs in energy storage and new materials will likely drive new business models.

We talk about why, how AI will intersect with robotics, the future of things like crypto and synthetic biology, and why so many deep tech companies mess up economic value capture.We also talk about what it means to be a thesis-driven venture firm, Compound's research process and how to replicate it, what private and public market investors can learn from each other, advice for anyone starting in venture today, how to build a brand in VC, and why venture firms don't compound and actually decay over time.Thank you to Kevin Kwok, Andy Weissman, Cristóbal Valenzuela, Blake Robbins, and Smac at Compound for their help brainstorming topics for this.Special thanks to Ramp for supporting this episode.

Our Australia Materials Analyst Rahul Anand discusses why critical minerals may be the Achilles' heel of humanoids as demand significantly outpaces supply amid geopolitical uncertainties.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Rahul Anand: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Rahul Anand, Head of Morgan Stanley's Australia Materials Research team.Today, I'll dig deeper into one of the vital necessities for the development of robotics – critical minerals – and why they're so vital to be front of mind for the Western world today. It's Wednesday, June 25th at 8am in Sydney, Australia. Humanoid robots will soon become an integral part of our daily lives. A few weeks ago, you heard my colleagues Adam Jonas and Sheng Zhong discuss how humanoids are going to transform the economy and markets. Morgan Stanley Research expects this market to reach more than a billion units by 2050 and generate almost [$] 5 trillion in annual revenue. When we think about that market, and we think about what it could do for critical minerals demand, that could skyrocket. And the key areas of critical minerals demand would basically be focused on rare earths, lithium and graphite. Each one of these complex machines is going to require about a kilo of rare earths, 2 kgs of lithium, 6.5 kgs kilos of copper, 1.5 kgs of nickel, 3 kgs of graphite, and about 200 grams of cobalt. Importantly, this market from a cumulative standpoint by the year 2050, could be to the tune of about $800 billion U.S., which is staggering.And beyond that market size of $800 billion U.S., I think it's important to drill a bit deeper – because if we now consider how these markets are dominated currently, comes the China angle. And China currently dominates 88 percent of rare earth supply, 93 percent of graphite supply and 75 percent of refined lithium supply. China recently placed controls on seven heavy rare earths and permanent magnet exports in response to tariff announcements that were made by the U.S., and a comprehensive deal there is still awaited. It's very important that we have to think about diversification today, not just because these critical minerals are so heavily dominated by China. But more importantly, if we think about how the supply chain comes about, it's now taking circa 18 years to get a new mine online, and that's the statistic for the past five years of mines that came online. That number is up nearly 50 percent from last decade, and that's been driven basically by very long approval processes now in the Western world, alongside very long exploration times that are required to get some of these mines up and running. On top of that, when we think about the supply demand balance, by 2040 we're expecting that the NdPr, or the rare earth, market would be in a 26 percent deficit. Lithium could be in a deficit close to 80 percent. So, it's not just about supply security. It's also about how long it will take to bring these mines on. And on top of that, how big the amount of supply that's required is really going to be. I know when you think about 2040, it sounds very long dated, but it's important to understand that we have to act now. And in this humanoid piece of research that we have done as the global materials team, which was led by the Australian materials team, we basically have provided 34 global stocks to play this thematic in the rare earths, lithium and rare earth magnet space. It's also very important to remember and keep front of mind that as part of the London negotiations that happened between U.S. and China, no agreement was reached on critical military use rare earth magnets and exports. Now that's an important point because that's going to play as a key point of leverage in any future trade deal that comes about between the two countries. This remains an evolving situation, and this is something that we are going to continue monitoring and will bring you the latest on as time progresses.Look, thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review and share thoughts on the market with a friend or colleague today.
