About the show

Dream Machines is a podcast & newsletter exploring physical AI, robotics, and the future of the human experience. These new tools unlocking human potential in ways we can barely imagine. But they're also going to challenge everything we know about the human experience — our sense of self, of reality, of each other. Which is why Dream Machines isn’t just about where technology is going—it's about where it’s taking us.... Dream Machines is hosted by Evan Helda: a writer and technologist who has been at the forefront of spatial computing for the past 9 years. He's currently the Head of Physical AI & Robotics at Nebius, of the world's leading AI clouds. www.dreammachines.ai
