Hyundai takes full control of Boston Dynamics as SoftBank exits for $325 million

Hyundai Motor Group is acquiring SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million, completing its full ownership of the robotics company. The deal closes as Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robot enters commercial deployment and the broader humanoid race intensifies against Tesla Optimus and Figure AI. SoftBank exits to redeploy capital toward its $41 billion OpenAI bet and AI infrastructure.

Heh, I didn't know that was still going on... thought it was over with all the other excitement.
How certain do you have to be to extend a ceasefire by "3-5 days", exactly? Would 5.1 days be okay?

The methdology of calculating the grift value is as follows. Take the internally evaluated grift metric, which ranges from -1 (actual truth) to 1 (complete sabotage), add 1, divide by two, multiply by ten, and round. In this case, the internal evaluation produced the value of 0.2. Normalized to a more popularly readable scale, this translates to 6/10.
Grift-o-meter rates this at 9/10, complete sabotage.

Unfortunately I have to mark JudgingFreedom channel as High Grift, evaluated at 7/10, high grift.

Judge Napolitano promotes events that are high manufactured, as true.

Author is likely pursuing his own (or someone's) specific political agenda. Which may or may not be bad but in this case, it is a factor in the evaluation.

Author is a doomer, talking of an impending collapse, militarily and otherwise - but things have been going on for hundreds of years and only accelerating. The doom-and-gloom attitude of the author contributes to the evaluation.
