Alton Tutar: Building in London vs. SF + Figure's Humanoid Demo
Founder Alton Tutar explains closing his blockchain structured-products startup (a $13M spinout that peaked around $50M in deposits) and choosing London over San Francisco for hiring economics, the King's Cross AI cluster, visas, and lifestyle. He then assesses Figure's eight-hour livestream demo and the teleoperation debate, argues humanoids are still far from wide deployment, and predicts robotics will nationalize across the US, China and Europe.
