Hosts Matt Perrott and Scott Wilcox review their past predictions in a 'Receipts or Regrets' segment, discussing the rise of affordable Chinese humanoid robots and the failure of Figure AI's valuation. They analyze the stock performance of Guzman y Gomez, the acquisition of Limitless AI by Meta, and the validity of 'just-in-time' software development.
