We’ve closed a $230 million Series C financing with participation from @khoslaventures, @lightspeedvp, @ycombinator, IQT, and @QuietCapital, all pre-existing investors in Science, among others.

Soon we’ll combine (a) the speed of execution seen in Taalas with (b) the duration of execution seen via METR. And get days of work done in seconds.

*thinking* @dang @faunarobotics

There will be a new member of my family soon...

Love that google maps feature where you search for something 2 blocks away and the map pulls a 720 spin and zooms to outer space

@pitdesi So good

long layover? Find a Korean spa. Great place to kill a few hours. There are King Spa locations close to EWR, ORD, DFW Spa, food, massage, shower for the same price as lounge access; some of them are 24/7

@bradlightcap Absolutely incredible!

We worked with Apple to integrate ChatGPT into Apple devices alongside Apple Intelligence - available later this year:

@kevinweil @OpenAI @instagram @twitter @planet Legendary

I’m super excited to announce that I’m joining @OpenAI as Chief Product Officer! My entire career has been about working on big missions: connecting people and ideas at @Instagram and @Twitter, digitizing financial services at Libra/Novi, or most recently at @Planet, using space to advance global security, sustainability, and transparency. OpenAI’s mission to build AGI to benefit all of humanity is perhaps the most important and transformative of them all.

@awwstn @Maidenberg Ohhhhh @Maidenberg it’s open! Congrats!

pup cups extend your dog’s lifespan, right?

I'm back to building! Excited to share I've started a company with @pariljain and @lukeholoubek. We're building bots that do chores so you don't have to. Everyone is busy. Bots can help. So many things compete for our time - commutes, longer working hours, and the complexities of modern life. Our team has spent years building robots (including the self-driving kind) that give people some of that time back, and we're taking that a step further with this company. We've raised $150m from an amazing group of investors and entrepreneurs, led by @natfriedman, @danielgross, and @nabeel. Also including @QuietCapital, @patrickc, @collision, @eladgil , @byersblake, @fiftyyears, and many more. More to come soon! Follow our progress here @thebotcompany.

@jacksondahl never stopped.

very early to make this call but... I'm thinking texting with periods again could be the move.

Let’s roll.
