Reach out if you want to build robots that bring joy to millions of people and one of the following requirements resonates with you - - High agency to get shit done - Scaling models and evals for robot learning - sim2real for control - Have built embedded sw frameworks from…
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…
Some details on what are building at @thebotcompany . Lot more to come. It’ll be absurd to enter a home in few years and not have a home robot taking care of majority of your chores
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…
i'm comically impressed that people are coping on deepseek by spewing bizarre conspiracy theories -- despite deepseek open-sourcing and writing some of the most detail oriented papers ever. read. replicate. compete. don't be salty, just makes you look incompetent.
😂 And all this money is not about hyping AI, but is about building useful things for the real world!
Incredible group. Twitter transition was an extremely chaotic period, having to make some hard decisions that kept paying dividends later on. Hoping to see the same with changes in federal agencies and regulations, it might seem chaotic at the beginning, but the upside can be…
It was fun to work with @sriramk on the X/Twitter Transition and I look forward to doing it again, collaborating on A.I. policy. Sriram is a well-known and well-liked figure in Silicon Valley, a sign of the extraordinary talent President Trump is attracting to his Administration.
So zuck got a wake up call from Grok4 leaks and went batshit crazy on building MSL?
I would instead expect the folks at Waymo to leverage Gemini skillset, showcase how non-driving (internet) data transfers cleanly to handle long tails in driving and hence offset Tesla's fleet advantage. That's how BotCo is building autonomous robots to deploy them at scale
Congrats @philduan @aelluswamy . Very proud of AP team - long time dream coming to fruition
BREAKING: First ever Tesla Model Y robotaxi with no-one in the drivers seat spotted testing on public roads in Austin, Texas! Tesla's new "Robotaxi" wordmark/logo is on the side of the vehicle.
Today I'm launching my new company @GeneralAgentsCo and our first product. Introducing Ace: The First Realtime Computer Autopilot Ace is not a chatbot. Ace performs tasks for you. On your computer. Using your mouse and keyboard. At superhuman speeds!

H1b and lottery systems are total shitshow. Make @O1Visa the common norm, streamline the process and let in large pool of high skilled immigrants purely based on merit. @realDonaldTrump do a mic drop - actually appoint @sriramk for immigration policies too
Trump is gonna abolish H1Bs and replace it with Green Cards
All this recent immigration BS reminds me of this excellent post from @alexandr_wang. Talent should be the #1 input metric even for US immigration and jobs. Merit, Excellence and Intelligence. scale.com/blog/meritocra…
You get a massive cult following if you add 10s pause between critical phrases while speaking
If not obvious already- lidar isn’t going to solve visual scene understanding for you. You have to solve visual understanding at its core regardless. Same is true for anyone in robotics relying so heavily on depth sensors, and overhyped expensive hardware. Focus on solving…
Oops! @Waymo
Tesla FSD is on a great path because of the bet Elon made in 2014 - every car Tesla produces needs to have the sensors and compute necessary for full self driving. Obviously it took 3 generations to get there, but it set the right constraints for the team to converge to a…
Should’ve just said - “we lack the vision to execute and win “
GM CEO Mary Barra on a live call just now: "Cruise was well on its way to a Robotaxi business, but when you look at the fact that you're deploying a fleet, you're maintaining a fleet, there's a whole operations piece of doing that; The cost of that, it's not our core business."
