Prediction text

Figure's scale-up path: working in 1 home, then 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 10 million homes on a super-exponential curve. | It's going to work well at 10 homes. It's going to work well at 100. It's going to work well at a thousand. It's gonna be 10,000. It's going to be 100,000. It's gonna be a 10 million. So, I think it's going to be like um uh super exponential growth curve.

Watch events: Figure 03 shipment volume; BMW, 2nd customer deployment count

Verbatim quote

From episode "The Humanoid Takeover: $50T Market, Figure's Full Body Autonomy, and Robots in Dorms #229"
It's going to work well at 10 homes. It's going to work well at 100. It's going to work well at a thousand. It's gonna be 10,000. It's going to be 100,000. It's gonna be a 10 million. So, I think it's going to be like um uh super exponential growth curve.

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
