Since last time on Rocktown,

1. I hired AI to do the intro music for this podcast and there’s a new AI with plans to hire humans
2. Boston dynamics debuted a new humanoid robot. Is there an opportunity in the future for founders?
3. Beeper wants to consolidate your messaging apps. Just had an exit. And it’s built on Open source.
4. There are a few Great reasons to launch a startup and some signs that yours were not them
5. Aging is a mystery, but a founder wants to change that. Only for the ladies
6. And why if you’re about ready to take the startup L on the chin (the loss), you might want to reconsider
