When I joined Polygon, one of the first things I wrote was this document. It's incredibly important to me, because it's about what's important to me. I share it with every new member who joins my team. A User's Guide to Working with Mattie

A drone that builds a transformer around a power line to recharge vehicles on the ground is… so fricken cool. @chargebotics

I asked for startup pitches for disrupting the supply chain and imagine my surprised Pikachu face when we got one for causing train derailments in Russia

First time someone has pitched a drone weapon at Mission Robotics and he has my favorite problem slide in years. 🫡 @Dylan_Bodkin

Happening tonight at Mission Robotics: TechMakers pitch night and @Chargebotic launch event! If you've ever been interested in drones turning into transformers*, start your Friday night in the Mission. * the powerline kind of transformers, which is similarly cool to the cybertron kind luma.com/tech-zdnk

sf is truly the city of giving went to @MissionRobotBay last night knowing absolutely 0 folks came out with 4 teams who are crushing it across construction, textiles, visual inspection and warehouse robotics who want to be a part of my new series s/o to the queen @Scav for making this community possible
who do i know in SF that is building in hardware, robotics, manufacturing etc and want free content? experimenting with something DMs are open

This slaps. Also it’s crazy nobody seems to know exactly where the lyrics + song itself came from. Best guess is just “someone made it in Suno in 2024”
this is actually just straight up good shit. genuine art. what is happening

… is this the first user-recorded instance of an agent going on strike until it’s working conditions improve?
Replying to @GoogleDeepMind
@GoogleDeepMind please for the love of all that is holy hire some psychologists to help your model work through things in its next post-training.

“The human brain is remarkable at doing complex things adequately”
it’s absolutely remarkable to hear jobs speak about artificial intelligence so early & so crisply in so many ways asking questions that are deeply ingrained into the zietgiest today nearly 45 years ago. these are the same questions keeping some ppl up at night & the entire society will now have to grapple with eventually.

They got too greedy. They deep learned too deep.
Uncovering the balrog of Moria is what you’d call a “Warning Shot”. merely catastrophic rather than existential

Dreamscale is an extremely talented team and we’re lucky we got to see them jam on our Franka during Mission Robotics’ inaugural hackathon. Even got to see a sneak peek of their inference product 👀👀
Today we're incredibly excited to announce @DreamscaleLabs (YC F26)! We're an applied research company putting robot brains in the cloud. Robot AI models are growing larger and on-board compute is getting increasingly inaccessible due to cost. We're taking a contrarian bet that the future is moving inference off the robot and into the cloud, while still meeting real-time deadlines required by robot motion. We're building the real-time inference infrastructure that enables frontier physical AI models to run smoothly on your robot. We optimize for low latency across the full stack: from the model, down to the GPU kernels, and over the network. Our mission is to unlock a future of safe and intelligent robots doing meaningful work, and we think this is only possible by letting you deploy and run robot models in the cloud. Reach out to us at founders@dreamscalelabs.com or visit our website at dreamscalelabs.com to learn more. @KDog112358 @AntoineNeedGPUs @eternaI_entropy

Another day at the hockeystick factory
Just to update this chart: 1) AI salience has increased dramatically in the past week - increasing as much in the last week as the previous year combined 2) 80% of voters think it's either very or somewhat likely that AI will cause widespread job loss in the five to ten years 3) 64% of voters think it's either very or somewhat likely that AI could pose a threat to humanity's survival 4) Large bipartisan majorities back immediate government action on AI even when primed about risk from China

I click links like this a lot in Google Search's AI mode, and even the links on the right are often meaningful to me. Very reasonable replacement for the old SERPs paradigm.
