Robot demos go viral every month. This is not a robotics course. It is a school for people who still have inboxes.

- A voiceover that uses “autonomous” every third line
- No mention of what happens when the model is wrong
- A model name in the title that will be different by the time you finish the popcorn

You are done when
You can say “cool demo” and close the tab without rewriting your career in a panic.
