The limiting factor for real AI is data. <0.001% of the worlds information is on the internet. What happens when machines get access to the rest?

Rigid robots -> tight tolerances -> classical sim + teleop πŸ‘Ž This isn't the way, it doesn't scale, and it doesn't generalize. Yet so many making robots are doing this. Sure, you can get cool demos like washing dishes (decades old just like self driving cars 50+ years old) or

I hate the state of IoT with a burning passion. Everything is locked down. Just give me an API like this. I'm about to make my own 2-way audio device that isn't stupid.

New achievement! Preston-Werner Ventures (through which I did my angel investing) has become PWVβ„’ (pwv.com) and I’m raising a venture fund targeting $100M to lead pre-seed and seed rounds in today’s most exciting software- and AI-driven companies.

I'm experimenting with a little "robot" that does "jobs" like a coach that prompts you through a workout and counts your reps for you. No need to think, just show up.

I decided SpaceKit was an implementation detail so I'm rolling it into a physical device to show off applications first, circle back to an SDK later.

Working on a VR UX design for a robot. It was shockingly easy to get started with OpenXR in Godot now. Drop in 3 nodes and do some config and your good to go.

My brother has been making songs based on western philosophy / poems and I actually listen to music with vocals now (instead of just brain.fm all day). He's working on a second album around stoicism, I loved this one: buff.ly/BFR15FR

Shoutout to my wife Bri for getting her first single order of over 10 units! People have been just buying these fox keychains like crazy since she put it up.

I was crazy fast off the block my whole life but had garbage top speed -- turns out I just didn't know how to run, now I sort of do. Still a WIP.

If inches were years of "healthy" life then the Hong Kong female would be ~6'2'' and the American male would be ~4'10" 😲 ~64 years vs ~77 years What would you do with an extra decade of healthy years?
