Building Robots | Commenting on tech, geopolitics, and finance—exploring how innovation, history, and power shape the future.
The time is now.
Final note: It is easier to work on robotics now than any point in the past.
We need a term for these kind of people.
There’s a particular breed of bay area kids whose parents work in tech that get raised from the age of 10 to be perfect corporate slaves who treat everything as superficial, transactional stepping stones

You know you have the right team when you’d start another company with them immediately, even if this one fails.
Going to DCA into a sizable @dgt10011 position. When I have enough I’ll force him to come over and make me an omelet.
This is super fun to play with! Check out the @LeRobotHF datasets people upload to @huggingface with their SO-100s in a live, visual viewer Link below 👇
If this isn’t your life’s goal, I’m not sure what you’re doing it for. I was raised by a single mother, and I remember how she struggled—so tough times don’t affect me. Remember the sacrifices that were made to give us the opportunity to build. Do it for them.
If a founder tells you their main goal is to retire their parents Invest in them immediately.
Had a great time at this!
Over the past weekend, the Robotics Club SF and General Bionix ran the world's first-ever Agentic Robot Manipulation Hackathon! We were blown away by the results - winner announcement coming soon! Comment hack if you want to be invited to the next one!
Simply amazing. The future is going to be lit. Can’t wait to make my own blockbuster movie.
