At this weekend’s hackathon: Robots - played chess like a grandmaster - taught guitar lessons - made cocktails - played poker Thrilled to have Upfront Ventures co-host with Nicole Ripka from Betaworks, Krish Shah, Krish Mehta and Brannon Jones from AlleyCorp Some highlights below!

How is this different than what happens now?

Organized the biggest robot arm hackathon in history 150+ people, 54 SO-100 arms, 30 hours. Here's how it went 🧵:

No speaker? No problem. I built Beatsync — an open-source web audio player for high-precision, multi-device playback. With millisecond accuracy, turn any group of devices into a full surround sound system.

Aili hosts bangers only

Wrapped up my internship X dot com the everything app Worked on ML training infra for recommendations + algorithmic stability for Community Notes Insanely fast-paced team = the most intense learning of my life Huge thanks to Jay Baxter for being a great mentor 🫡

The kids are gonna be alright

Too many brilliant minds are stuck moving bits instead of atoms—building apps, not robots. So we changed that by hosting the world’s largest robotics hackathon. The result? Robotics isn’t as scary as you think. Held back on posting till Aadil captured this story perfectly.

The most humbly talented group of people I’ve seen in a long time.

Got accepted into ACL main!

Clarity is the scarcest resource

Jay is an incredible researcher and mentor. He is genuine, patient, and very perceptive to new ideas. Applying would be smart!

If I was a VC I would invest in the kids that wore the massive oversized backpacks instead of that fun-sized mini psyop of a backpack

Wait… you mean the people running the fund don’t usually invest in it????
