I'm back to building! Excited to share I've started a company with @pariljain and @lukeholoubek. We're building bots that do chores so you don't have to. Everyone is busy. Bots can help. So many things compete for our time - commutes, longer working hours, and the complexities…

Founder and CEO of The Bot Company @kvogt—who also cofounded Twitch and Cruise—shares a pint and discusses robots doing your household chores, the autonomy industry, Tesla vs Waymo, and how future $100b companies will look different. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:38 The Bot Company…

Tesla is trying to trademark "robotaxi" 🤔

The reason SF is thriving is that these despicable people were fired. Don’t let them near govt again! London Breed - former mayor Aaron Peskin - former BoS president Jeff Tumlin - former SFMTA chief Jeanine Nicholson - former SF fire chief New mayor @DanielLurie is awesome.

Ok I know it’s old news now, but @bscholl knocking out a supersonic flight after grinding for 10 years is such a banger. Still crazy impressed by Blake and the team at Boom.

The FAA should allow supersonic flight in America. Nothing says American dynamism more than everyone flying on supersonic jets everywhere. This boomless version would be a no brainer. We might even want to allow sonic booms in more situations, as they aren’t particularly…

.@boomaero did it. Mach 1.1

Civilian supersonic flight returns... Tuesday. Having worked toward this moment for over a decade, this feels surreal. A few reflections 🧵?

In case it was unclear before, it is clear now: GM are a bunch of dummies.

The most insane gait I've seen on a humanoid. Walking with locked knees is much more energy efficient as the motors don't need to be engaged all the time. Public info of EngineAI: - team of 36 - raised ~14M USD - investment from SenseTime, Hefei province - founded Oct 2023

Insanity. The nyt could have interviewed astronomers, futurists, engineers, or one of the thousands of other people who could contextualize the significance of this event for their readers. Instead we got quotes from three grumpy randos who live nearby.

At Cruise I built robotaxis that completed 250k driverless rides, including the first rides ever in a major city. With the Tesla event coming up, many people have asked for my thoughts. I truly hope they get robotaxis working. Autonomy is the fastest and most effective way to…

Totally agree! Will be a fun decade or two. Although “embodied intelligence” makes things sound complicated and terminator-like. I am biased but I think “bots” does the job. Bots are going to be everywhere and appear in various forms and with various degrees of capability.

Excited to share the talented folks at @MomentRobotics_ are joining @thebotcompany! Welcome Greg Katz, Ben Berkowitz, and Robert Wilson. Our team has been deeply focused on building amazing product experiences that give people time back. We'll share more soon. We have a few…

PG spot on, as always.

BREAKING: XB-1 has completed its second flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in CA. XB-1 retracted and extended its landing gear for the first time and successfully demonstrated a new digital stability augmentation system. We continue to target year-end for supersonic flight.…

SF Fire Chief finally admits being wrong about AVs after making false claims. Fortunately, she’s gone. Progress for SF.

What can you do with Llama quality and Groq speed? You can do Instant. That's what. Try Llama 3.1 8B for instant intelligence on groq.com.

Disappointed to see GM kill the Origin. Would have been amazing for cities. GM repeatedly finds themselves with a 5-10 year head start, but then fumbles the ball, shuts things down, and loses the lead. Anyone remember the EV1? It’s like someone keeps letting them look into a…
