Have had some time to step back and think more about the world and what excites me. I had become quite jaded with tech before my break so this is a big unlock personally - having a mission to chase for next 10 years. I think one of the most profound things we need to do is unlock abundance. So many of our troubles are grounded in scarcity - real and psychological. Entire line of ideologies and social maladies stem from this scarcity mindset. I see 3 core pillars to unlock abundance : 1) AI Robots - Abundance in digital and physical outputs. Ambient computers with agency. We will eventually get to intelligence in every object and every machine. 2) BCI - Faster input bandwidth to control/deploy this abundance. Abundance of understanding - Blue sky here is unlocking telepathy so we can understand each other (yes I get how this can go wrong). BCI Robotics leads to a lot of interesting cyborg-ian futures down the line. Abundance of capabilities. Needless to say the path to this goes through a lot of medical wins that improve quality of life. Abundance of heathy lifespan. 3) Nanotech (most blue sky) - If solved step function change in abundance of material, manufacturing and energy.

The most impressive thing about the announcement is @weaverobotics got here with only 5M raised and in under 2 years!!

Teleop will turn out to be a fascinating use case of robots - far more interesting than data collection. Embodied presence. “Be” in many places. Do things human body can’t. Or you know just slap a car with a giant hand! 🤣

Interesting how all “shipping soon” home robots are converging on similar designs with some gradation on the grippers actuators. Subscription price (monthly or per visit) is also smart for adoption. @NoriRobotics 1.2k @weaverobotics 8k @sundayrobotics ~10k (20k one off unit)

Future friends

It only just dawned on me that the name Asimo (Honda) is also an homage to Asimov. 🙈

Still thinking about @om and my feed keeps reminding me of how many lives you can touch with a kind, open heart and the warmest of smiles! We first met when he reached out in 2012 to grab coffee (I was a random designer 6 months in US). That’s Om in a nutshell. Making friends and staying friends was his superpower. Over the years we connected over our love for photography and fountain pens. Every time I asked for some help he would be quick to make the right intros. His biggest gesture of kindness was helping us out with our Green card application last year. He wanted to have us over to celebrate and share his Indian cooking. We would never get around to having that one last shared meal. Rest in peace Om. You were one of the good ones. ❤️

Robots (esp personal and home) will feel more like ambient computing than pure labor automation. It needs to balance presence/companionship and utility/productivity. It will look and more and more like a computing platform that can proactively & collaboratively take action.

Rest in peace @om 🖤 om.co/2026/06/24/1966-2026/

Lately a switch has flipped in my brain. While there is much wrong with the world - it’s clear to me that the world is what we make it to be. The world needs more positive visions of the future. And individuals who will a better future into existence.

It’s been amazing to watch @jasonyuan take on how intelligence can be more social. And do it in his own special devious and mischievous way! Give Hivemind a try! Do it for the plot!!

Feel like a child again! Should have paid more attention in college 🙈

This is cool! The cinematography and soundtrack are 💯! Also Medjourney!!

2010s version (god I’m old) SF is a wild place. Get an apartment in Hayes Valley or the Mission with your friends in a charming but rundown Victorian. Commute to your startup job in the Peninsula (via shuttle once you raise enough) where it’s 10-15 degrees warmer. Make way less than your college friends in finance but love every second of it. Work late and then go dancing at the Starlight Lounge on Wednesday nights. Weekends at Dolores Park. One or two perfect beach days per year. Your job is your identity and your coworkers are your closest friends. It’s messy and magical. The little startup you joined eventually goes public (that actually happens?!) and you can’t believe your luck. How do you keep doing this forever?

If I was Figma I'd bet hard in the emerging trend of design playgrounds and make an explicit tool for it. All the best teams are already working this way. Basically it's like software factory / harness engineering / loops-driven development pattern for design prototypes The idea is that: 1. Designers set up the environment, write the constraints, tests, skills, design system, principles, etc. They maintain it much like 2. Figma takes care of the infra to make this really easy. resettable sandbox, sharing, multiplayer, etc. 3. Anyone on the team can just "request new designs" by talking to agents that operate in this environment @zoink plz make this. 100% guaranteed to send figma stock to the moon impossible to fail :P

Introducing “Comeback City: A Love Letter to San Francisco.” Proud to call this place home.

Loops are still too manual. It's actually both more efficient and more token effective to let someone else manage the agents, produce the code, pay for the tokens, as well as run the company, while you do something entirely different professionally

Been very lucky with my last few sci-fi reads!
