Does this mean we are too late? It simply means every investor who has said no was wrong. This is why I am living in a tent in Silicon Valley now and refuse to leave without funding. Ai manufacturing is how everything becomes more affordable. Housing to food to everything.

In August 2024, I set out to find investors who believed in a distributed AI grid for manufacturing. This week at GTC, NVIDIA announced they are doing it for general AI compute. This is the cost of trying to build without living in the Bay Area. blogs.nvidia.com/blog/telecom-a…

@mattparlmer Robotics are close, but NVIDIA GTC demos were largely unimpressive considering where LLMs are. Vision is great, but robotics is ripe for the right people deploying it in their factories and cracking the software to really disrupt the market.

Robotics of this type is a solved problem to the degree that undergrads will be putting stuff that beats anything they’ve demo’d here up on HuggingFace by the end of the year

@adilmania Living in a tent in Palo Alto / Bay Area for preseed. Use Caltrain to get to SF. Does that count? I can pop my tent in SF if aligned. We are co-locating data centers in housing factories around the USA for edge industrial compute while creating affordable housing.

looking for founders in SF raising at the moment (preseed/seed) got something cool for you. anyone?

Data centers prove that when you have money, you can build whatever you want. Billions are spent on homeless for temporary housing where permanent housing is required. If we do not start funding real solutions, there will never be an end to homelessness & it will get worse.

@matiasszarfer @ycombinator @speedrun My first step was taking a train across the country and living in a tent.

If you're a founder and you wanna move to SF, an accelerator is the best first step. I did it, and it changed everything for me. Here are the top accelerators you should apply to right now: @ycombinator - $500k for 7%, the gold standard @speedrun - up to $1M from a16z @pearvc - $250k-$2M through PearX, incredible founder community @Techstars - $220k for ~6%, programs across verticals @500GlobalVC - $112.5k for 6%, global network @AlchemistAcc - B2B focused, 6 months, strong enterprise mentors @angelpad - $120k for 7%, tiny batches, best per-exit outcomes @AntlerGlobal - great if you don't have a co-founder yet @SkyDeck_Cal - Berkeley's accelerator, $200k investment @BoostVC - deep tech focused, $500k rounds @PlugandPlayTC - huge corporate network @LAUNCH - $125k for 7%, Jason Calacanis' program @fdotinc - SF-based, community-first approach @VillageGlobal - backed by Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc. I spent 2 months in SF through Founders Inc and it was one of the most intense, productive periods of my life. You meet other founders who are as obsessed as you, and everything accelerates. If you're outside the US and considering the jump, just apply. Worst case you get rejected and learn from the process. Best case your startup gets a completely new trajectory 😉#BuildInPublic

@superham The people who have a love-hate relationship with SF have been to both & are disturbed by the fact that the center of tech innovation can spend $60-$100k per year per person on homelessness largely for temporary housing. ASI will not look kindly on the San Francisco Bay Area.

Whenever someone says they love San Francisco I know they been to Marina. Whenever someone says they hate San Francisco I know their hotel was in Union Square / Tenderloin

500+ overdose deaths per year. Human waste must be watched for at each step. Homeless everywhere. But cafés past 5:30pm is what YC needs to invest in. SF spends a billion dollars per year on these problems… the money is there. I solve this or die on these streets with them.

@LarsenJensenUSA Sweet. I meet mentally disabled people on the streets daily, working to get them into housing. We are working to maximize their quality of life. Is that what you mean?

We are looking to invest in founders who are highly skilled in Retardmaxximization.

OpenClaw creator @steipete was just surprised by Jensen @NVIDIAGTC

At GTC26 It should be a great week.

All the pieces of our puzzle finally fit together. A year ago, we didn’t have the same Abundant Intelligence we do today. Mega data centers are a much hotter topic. Agentic AI is finally functional. Reindustrialization is full swing. In 2030, USA homelessness is over.

@Jason Would have loved to attend, but headed to GTC. Good luck to everyone going and have a blast.

We have two more slots for exceptional demos at LAUNCH Festival for founders building OpenClaw / AI based projects. Apply at launchfestival.com"

@Mat_Sherman Sent you a DM. Very interested in filling out an application to see if we align.

I am building a viable YC alternative. AMA.

Our concept was completely wrapped around manufacturing. Nearby industrial park. On-site makerspace. Serendipitous interactions in the inner area. Food was a big part of it. Targeted at startups and small businesses. With the mission to house humanity.

Timing + location = important Without funding, you cannot do anything in real estate Palo Alto spent $26 million for 88 prefab units for homeless & took over 4 years to build them Money is available & being allocated I was doing this concept & more in 2012 in Michigan

@Yuchenj_UW Move into a tent and take Caltrain. Saved me boat loads. I never have to worry about parking and get 20-30,000 steps per day without even trying.

I have a love–hate relationship with SF. Yes, it’s beautiful. Yes, it’s full of AI startups. But $4,200 got me a 1b1b. The same apartment is now $5,800/month. Parking is a nightmare. The roads are always packed. Food is expensive. Nothing opens after 9pm. Also my e-bike got stolen outside my apartment in one day, even with a $150 lock.

@donatelli2026 I talk to homeless people daily. I’m living homeless around the SF Bay Area while working to solve housing & end homelessness. It truly is heartbreaking. One of my friends went missing yesterday. I found his cart that he is always with today. I will succeed no matter what.

what i’m gonna say sounds horrible but seeing all these homeless in SF really make all my problems disappear here it’s easy to get stressed, anxious or even overwhelmed when you’re building a startup but seeing them struggling in the cold, looking out for food and just even trying to stay alive reminds me that none of my problems are real i have a roof over my head. i have food in my stomach. they are the one that are really struggling, not me may God help them

@jobsbygeorge I’d rather be at the factory. Lived on Coronado Island in my car for 8 months and it was great, never got old waking up and seeing the beach… but I also worked 12 hours a day and even when I walked along the beach I was still thinking about how much I loved my work.

I just FaceTimed my VC and he was on the beach drinking a beer Currently I’m living at a factory on the border of Mexico

@j0hnwang @CiaraACade Yeah, having one of the most iconic suicide destinations combined with human waste + human suffering on drugs is pretty depressing. You have to focus on the positives like architecture.

i went to san francisco and it gave me depression
