$39B founder says his company could 100x in 5 years

Brett Adcock, founder of Figure and Hark, explores the convergence of physical and digital AI, arguing that humanoid robots and agentic software will fundamentally reshape labor and personal productivity. Figure is scaling autonomous humanoid robots for logistics and manufacturing to address critical labor shortages, while Hark is developing AI-native hardware designed to replace traditional computers and smartphones with a "Jarvis-like" assistant. Adcock contends that the most significant breakthroughs require moving beyond text-based models toward systems capable of autonomous computer use and visual reasoning. He emphasizes a "truth-first" approach to engineering, criticizing the prevalence of tele-operated demonstrations in the robotics industry. By focusing on high-difficulty, binary-outcome ventures, Adcock prioritizes deep technical conviction over incremental innovation, aiming to build systems that achieve human-level capabilities in both physical tasks and digital navigation.
