Extraction decisions
| Opportunity | Format | Disposition | Destination or reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| What Blackwell, Figure 01, and SIMA demonstrated | Episode article | Produced | [[E008 Article]] |
| Figure company context and official route | Company profile | Produced | [[Figure AI Company Profile]] |
| Blackwell architecture and launch boundaries | Product profile | Produced | [[NVIDIA Blackwell Platform Profile]] |
| Figure 01 historical prototype and demo | Product profile | Produced | [[Figure 01 Product Profile]] |
| SIMA research identity and scope | Product profile | Produced | [[Google DeepMind SIMA Research Profile]] |
| Product demos require testing at real conditions | Evergreen contribution | Merged | [[Products must be tested at the duration and intensity of their real use]] already owns the thesis. |
| Robotics needs evidence and safeguards | Evergreen contribution | Merged | [[Robotics and neurotechnology need evidence consent and accountable safeguards]] already owns the boundary. |
| Simulation can accelerate embodied-system development | Evergreen contribution | Merged | [[Simulation and open-source foundation models democratize robotics by shifting development velocity from physical hardware to virtual environments]] owns the simulation thesis. |
| Google DeepMind company profile | Company profile | Held for cross-episode synthesis | This episode supports one research project, not a complete current organization profile. |
| AI consciousness and rights | Evidence-led essay | Held for specialist research | The episode asks the question but offers no philosophical, legal, or scientific evidence. |
| Synthetic influencer risks | Explainer | Held for a dedicated source set | The brief example lacks named cases, provenance, platform policy, and current evidence. |
| Household robot buying guide | Rejected | Figure 01 was a prototype demonstration, not a household product offering. |
Viewpoint contribution
E008 strengthens Venture Step's evidence hierarchy. A launch demonstrates what a developer chose to show. A technical report clarifies tasks and measures. Deployment evidence must address duration, variation, intervention, failure, safety, support, and cost.
The episode also connects infrastructure, simulation, and embodiment without pretending that progress in one proves maturity in the others.
Reuse boundaries
Refresh every product-generation, performance, availability, partnership, and deployment claim. Attribute vendor numbers. Do not infer AGI, consciousness, personhood, rights, workforce displacement, or household readiness from these sources.
