Here are some of the behind the scenes for the F.02 Decommission To be clear: we actually trained our robots to jump autonomously, shipped them to Finland, and had them leap into a vat of molten steel

vuln: so I keep writing blog posts about things I'm worried that AI might remove, like the joy of discovery, the struggle of articulation to explain what you mean, the habit of exercising your own mind, and even just the desire to, like, make things yourself. and I just can't seem to find it in myself to publish it, and I’m starting to understand why. like, I don't want to spend my time better at describing the loss. I want the writing to identify something worth preserving instead, and then maybe to try building towards it. I want to write about, “here is a human capacity that I think matters, and what would technology look like if we tried to strengthen it”. and I think my... I just don't want to be someone who just complains, you know. need to have something to show alongside the tell.

it's controversial, but in every interview, i ask candidates if they know anything about anything if they start to get a little too specific, instant rejection you need to hire generalists

It’s over

Semi is here Today, we're launching high volume production

I've seen people describe Jev as an "AI if statement". But what if it actually WAS an if statement? Introducing Probably: a programming language powered by Jev: probably-lang.southpolesteve… Jev baked into the language. “feels” asks a question. “match” routes between descriptions. “while” keeps going until something stops feeling true. This is obviously a toy, but it's fun to think about what something like Jev unlocks. Jev makes the decisions, an LLM does the writing, and a little program ties it together.

The holy grail for robotics is being able to generalize: doing work in unseen places We rented 30 homes in the Bay Area and are doing tasks without any new training
