Talent density at our Human Augmentation Hackathon will be incredible. We have applicants eager to work on copilots for scientific discovery, BCI, industrial robotics, memory & sensory enhancement, silent speech interfaces, opera composition -- all to extend human capability.…
SoTA’s Human Augmentation Hackathon, 26-27th July We’re seeking new tools that foster human-AI symbiosis. What you build will expand our capabilities, rather than writing us out of the story. Success will be judged against the following criteria: - Is your demo better than…
10 Downing Street is taking over the Design Museum to show potential applicants what previous Innovation Fellows have built during their tours of duty in government. Join us on 30th July to see the demos over drinks and meet the current Innovation Fellows & 10 Data Science team,…

We're partnering with @sotalikesfuture in London to host a hackathon on building AI for humans. Augmentation, not automation. Bottom-up boosting, not top-down replacement. Would love to see you there. 26-27th of July in London. Link in the next tweet.

Credit where it’s due. Great initiative to get talented people in to the UK government for short, high impact stints. Each tour of duty is 6-18 months. If you do this, then want to start a company, please reach out. Nice work @matthewclifford et al. sifted.eu/articles/uk-go…
🫡 how do we get more talented people from the private sector to do a tour of duty like Matt?
Amazing - 10 Downing Street have written to the new Society for Technological Advancement advertising opportunities to use technology to improve the state. 👏👏👏

From our last hackathon: "This was easily one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time. The team vibe was spot-on — collaborative, efficient, and always fun. Huge shoutout to the SOTA organizers for creating such a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere. The food was great, the…
Wrote a letter to London’s Society for Technological Advancement, arguing that top talent should spend their energy building for humans, not to replace them. If you’re in London and want to build a better world, you should be involved with @sotalikesfuture.

Getting this to work involved an all nighter with many hacks like re-soldering our motor driver board from scratch and re-printing after a motor overheated and melted through the pipette head 😅. Grateful to @sotalikesfuture, they run the best deep tech events in London!
This past weekend, SoTA held the Embodied Intelligence Hackathon in London. We had dozens of teams competing for both our local prizes and @Huggingface's global @LeRobot challenges. SoTA's champions were: Overall prize (£1,000): Calum & James, for their low-cost lab…
