Had a great productive chat with @elonmusk before leaving, would’ve stuck around longer if I didn’t have the itch to chase a specific vision. Don’t see any capacity eroding on his front like the article mentions

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

We will see massive strides in robotics over next year - all breakthroughs for language and image generation are accelerating the progress on this front. The fluid natural motion and intelligence to do more complex tasks is what you get when you go all in on foundation models

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

This is a great example of why scaling data and compute beats injecting human priors into the system. Real world is too messy to be bounded by well defined rules

Excited to share I’ve started a company with @kvogt and @lukeholoubek . We're building bots that do chores so you don't have to. Everyone is busy. Bots can help. So many things compete for our time - commutes, longer working hours, and the complexities of modern life. Our team
