Is the age of robots finally here?

Plus: Caffeine beams into Startup Theatre episode 2, NASA astronauts finally return and Musk' DOGE actions might be unconstitutional.

Happy Thursday!

Summer is finally fading but it feels more like spring in startup land because the world is just brimming with dazzling developments.

Thursday is our day to peek around the globe at what’s happening in wider markets and I don’t mean to alarm you but it sure seems like the robots will be here sooner than expected, at least if Nvidia have anything to say about it. However, they are teaming up with Google and Disney to make sure we go ‘awww’ instead of ‘ahhhh!’ when we see our new overlords.

Let’s not waste any time and just hop into it.

Here’s the Daily Shot of news you don’t want to miss:

• Nvidia GTC keynote wraps and it sure looks like the robots are coming

• Caffeine beams into Startup Theatre podcast

• Event: Kiss My SaaS Auckland

• Event: Electrify Aotearoa ft Simon Pound

• Pod Pick: WildHearts talks brain implants with Elise Jenkins

• NASA Astronauts return after being stuck in space for nine months

• Nvidia is accelerating the self driving car market

• Musk’s DOGE actions could be unconstitutional, judge find

• At least if they robots are coming, they’re extremely cute

As always, thank you to everyone who has upgraded to a paid subscription or simply recommended Caffeine to friends and whānau. We couldn’t do any of this without you.
