Introducing VisionNet. The largest POV dataset from AI glasses, now available for commercial use.
AI glasses are probably 1-2 years to hit mass adoption. AR at least 5-10 years away.
today, every one of you is a technical founder.
If you are a technical founder, you do not need a non-technical cofounder.
yep, we bought contra.com before we raised any $$, had to max out a few cc's and take a domain financing loan + spend my life savings.
Buy a .com domain name Go into debt if you have to
being a founder is eating glass and staring into the abyss. you do it because you can't not do it. the “romanticization” comes from consuming too much media (silicon valley / or steve jobs yaps) & not actually building. most won't make it. but more people trying is a net…
The romanticization of being a startup founder is kind of insane to me: – You’re statistically unlikely to succeed – You’ll have no life and be totally consumed - Incredible lows – You’re locking yourself in for 10+ years This is insanely hard and NOT for everyone.
yes
1/ It's time to bring back "designed in California, made in California.” Today, at @reindsummit, @ashleevance and I introduced Solano Foundry, the largest advanced manufacturing park in America, an hour north of Silicon Valley. Built by @CAForever with @JLL. 🧵
30 days to build a new pair of AI glasses in Shenzhen. Avengers, assemble.
Airpods are the single greatest consumer wearable invented in the last decade
every customer at braintrance gets free madvision frames. congrats on the launch!!
i built a platform for storing "3D Memories" so when i'm 80, i can relive my life exactly as it was it's live right now at braintrance. net volume on!
The most persistent misconception in hardware is that it’s more capital intensive than software.
I don’t like the anime goonpanion on Grok. I think it’s going to decrease the birthrate & reinforce negative relationships with AI…
I've been a bit quiet on X recently. The past year has been a transformational experience. Grok-4 and Kimi K2 are awesome, but the world of robotics is a wondrous wild west. It feels like NLP in 2018 when GPT-1 was published, along with BERT and a thousand other flowers that…
I recently moved to Mill Valley. this is what my day looks like driving to @fdotinc @im_roy_lee says all founders should be creators, it's time for me to fuck around and find our what works. feels like OG vine days, but for founders doing side quests. hit me up if you wanna…
facts. there’s too little humanoid startups in US and i’m sure @benjamin_bolte @ericjang11 agrees that y’all are still figuring things out one day at a time. the story of selling data to humanoids on a surface level turn heads. but the newcomers have no idea what they are…
The number of startups trying to sell data to general purpose + humanoid robots companies seems to exceeds the number of actual robot startups. This is ... concerning. Do the hard thing. Hard things filter out competition. Optimize for the world you want to see, not your IRR
