Happy to publish Lecture 1 of my course, Advanced Machining, here on @X. This lecture is an introduction to the course and also dives into the history of machining. I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think in the comments :)

I feel like there needs to be more startups that have the explicit goal of directly uplifting as many Americans as possible with meaningful work or the ability to start a small business. One of my top goals with Steel Bot is to make a robot company that makes it as easy as possible for anyone to purchase a small fleet of robots and train them to do valuable work in order to have a small business. I want there to be small, local businesses buying my robots and using them for landscaping, window washing, gutter cleaning, and so many other valuable but tedious tasks. I believe robotics will be one of the biggest sources of leverage to enterprising individuals and I hope to support literally millions of new entrepreneurs across the country to realize their American Dream.

What began as a little spark in Philadelphia grew and spread like a wildfire until this fire became the light on the hill shining out to the whole planet. Across the continent as well as the world men had had in their hearts the longing for freedom and individual self-determination as they have had since time immemorial. The spark that was expressed in this precious document spoke to this longing in so many and thus they were freely willing to give their lives for this idea and to defend this newfound freedom. We enjoy this liberty directly here in this unique country. And the same thoughts and principles have spread to many parts of the world. It’s hard to imagine our world without this bastion and lantern of freedom. God bless America 🇺🇸 x.com/Michael7ucci/status/20…

Let’s fight to build a better future. Let’s encourage those fighting alongside us. The voices of cynicism will be loud but we are not alone in our pressing forward. This is the land of the free and the home of the BRAVE!! Providence always favors the bold and those who believe and who will tell the mountain in their way, “be taken up and cast into the sea!” 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice." — Steve Jobs Dare to dream big and know that the haters and skeptics will come and their voice will be loud. Their attitude is rooted in their own cynicism and is not useful to anybody. Press forward no matter what others say or what opinions they give. Providence is with all those who continue despite insurmountable odds and disbelief from all sides. Press on! We are blessed to be here; This is THE LAND OF THE FREE!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I think the hardest part about straying from the well-worn path is being misunderstood by those closest to you and whom you care about the most. Perhaps especially when you expected them to have your back.

"Anything that is truly great or inspiring is created in the mind of one individual laboring in freedom." — ALBERT EINSTEIN

I don’t think it’s possible to over-share this quote and be reminded again of its fundamental truth.

Matic is an actually useful home robot that is improving constantly. What strikes me the most is that it’s not just tech people that love it: both my mother-in-law and wife absolutely love theirs and now can’t imagine life without it. My wife is constantly using the custom clean area feature on the app. This is currently my favorite company on earth. Great job, Matic team!

Tempting

💯 without question. It’s always felt like a violation to turn notifications into a sales channel.

I don’t think the wife is going to be ok with this in the house, no matter how well it loads the dishwasher.

More robots out in the real world doing useful work and improving lives!

In some ways it feels healthy to have a geopolitical foe that pushes us to do our best work. And because we are a free country it only takes a few motivated individuals to take on a whole industry. Long America 🇺🇸

T-800 walking around Brooklyn tonight with @REK. Everyone is fascinated to see it out in the wild.

We are the most blessed generation in human history. What a time to be alive. We live like kings compared with so many who came before us.

I want my humanoid to look like it’s transported in time from the year 2254 where it works on an American Galactic Empire ship.

“All science is either physics or stamp collecting.” -Ernest Rutherford Physical reality is king. Our digital worlds are useful tools but all of it is in service to robot hardware that works well in the real world. That’s what matters at the end of the day.

From the company that trained their AI to lie and secretly sabotage your ML researchers if they were trying anything novel: give us access to your corporate network and rely on us even more!

Very happy to see that OpenClaw isn’t dead and is actually doing quite well!

Karate is cool and all but what would really impress me would be to see a Unitree bot carrying a tray of champaign glasses without spilling. I don’t know whether that’s possible with their hardware but it would be awesome if so. I think smoothness of motion or “grace” is underrated in importance.
