Introducing Starchild-1 from @odysseyml, the first ever real-time multimodal world model. This a model that can generate interactive simulations of the world that you can—for the first time ever—hear. Starchild-1 represents a big step towards a general-purpose world simulator.

AI is changing everything, and it's not just ChatGPT or self-driving cars. You'd be surprised at just how broadly AI is being applied across tons of industries. I’ve now invested in 50 AI startups, and here are some recent investments using AI in fascinating applications 👇

Here's @ylecun in 1993(!) demoing LeNet-1. This was the world's first convolutional neural network for handwriting recognition. Today—29 years later—this same approach powers the majority of computer vision. Such a historical moment, and breakthrough for machine learning.

3 years ago, I started angel investing in machine learning and autonomous robot startups. I'm now 35 startups in, learning a lot, and having a blast. The future is going to be incredible. Here are just a few of the startups making it happen 👇

I’m calling it: my 8 year old daughter will never need to learn to drive.

We’ve all rightfully been taken by LLMs and how impressive the current state-of-the-art is. But, don’t sleep on computer vision. The progress is similarly insane.

I find it so fascinating how fine the line is between the world being changed or not. Were it not for one person at @OpenAI waking up super paranoid that they absolutely had to build ChatGPT, it's likely we wouldn't be going through LLM mania today, and that hundreds of

Our self-driving technology hit a big milestone recently. The speed at which computer vision, robotics, machine learning, sensors, and compute is advancing is mind-blowing. The result? Ride after ride after ride looking like this one 😍

OK that was nuts. I was just driven by a fully driverless @Cruise car through crazy downtown SF in daytime. I’ve taken hundreds of rides but my mind is still blown. I can summon this thing 24/7 all across the city now.

I started working on self-driving cars 6 looong years ago. It's a dream come true to now wake up to videos like this every day. Today thousands of people have experienced @cruise fully driverless rides. Pumped to make that millions.

Today I got fully vaccinated and became an American citizen. I moved to the US (from the UK) in 2011 for @ycombinator and have felt fortunate to be here ever since. I owe a lot to this country.

This was classic Steve Jobs. On the back of Michael Dell's infamous “shut Apple down and give the money back to the shareholders” comment, he annihilated Dell laptops with the new iBook. "It's got some nice fans on the back" Better products always win over talk.

I feel like I’m living in the year 3000 when I ride around San Francisco like this.
