As a Bay Area-born AI researcher who grew up between Silicon’s logic and Eastern stillness, I witnessed OpenMind’s OM1 robot debut on Nasdaq—not as spectacle, but as a quiet revolution. This isn’t about bots replacing humans. It’s about embodied intelligence finally gaining market credibility. I’ve seen the code. I know what happens when systems break. Here, infrastructure is being rebuilt—tokenized, decentralized, real. And it’s happening in K–12 classrooms too.
