Significant progress in AI and Robotics this week. So, I summarized everything from Microsoft, Manus, Boston Dynamics, Anthropic, Perplexity, Cortical Labs, Sanctuary AI, Alibaba, ASLP Labs, and more. Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it:

We are excited to share that Filip Filipov, Chief Operating Officer, will be presenting at Aviation Festival Asia 2025! (@aviationfesasia) Filip will take the stage to discuss ‘Generative AI: There's a Fine Line Between Vision and Hallucination'. See you in Singapore!

@awilkinson Not entirely sure, but the tactics you have employed look like you are not intentional with your time, which is highly unlikely. A solid EA or a good tool could do the trick.

I’m a bubbling pot of stress today and, as I think about it, I’ve realized that it’s entirely because of my calendar. Nothing stresses me out like tetris game of a calendar. It’s my white whale. The thing that I have never been able to tame or conquer.

I’ve tried a bunch of different strategies: 

 • A 2-3 hour booking window (results: booked 4+ months out, plus important company issues or CEO calls getting jammed in last minute = 4-6 hours a day of meetings and activity and no deep work)

 • Having no calendar at all, just calling people (result: a massive call list that I can never get on top of, as well as a lot of people being offended when I won’t book with them)

 • Calendly (results: a lot of meetings I don’t want to do booked into eternity)

I’m at the point where I’m ready to declare calendar bankruptcy and I want to tap your collective intelligence. 

The core issue is that I am an inch deep and a mile wide. I oversee over 40 companies, I have hobby businesses, I’ve got 150+ minority investments, I’m trying to do a podcast and this newsletter, I have a broad ranging, highly extroverted social life, and I’m a father of two who often has to travel for work. TLDR: My ambition exceeds my time.

I’m curious to hear from other people who nod along with this and have significant work and personal responsibilities. How do you handle this? How have you prioritized? How do you delegate some of this? Please respond to this thread on if you have any ideas (systems, delegation workflows, heuristics, etc), I’m all ears!
