@SkinnyfatTony @pnickdurham Could you use it at scale for the very specific cases ? Let the operator do the awkward jobs while the robot does don't simple layout @grok it's a tool.

@pnickdurham Ive integrated industrial robots into countless industrial environments like heavy materials handling, mig welding, machine tending, etc... this has to be one of the most impractical uses ive seen yet. Way too many variables, this thing would be an absolute pain in the ass.

342 skilled construction workers retire every day in the US.
Use interior wall finishing as an example, you can't just hand someone a trowel and get a Level 5 wall finish. It takes years to develop that skill.
This is Okibo's fully autonomous interior finishing robot that does drywall mudding, joint taping, sanding (Level 4 and 5 finishes), and spray and roller painting (the video is a sanding pass).
It can reach up to 24' so it's designed for high reach in large industrial spaces (data centers, commercial, offsite manufacturing). You just swap the toolhead for a different finish application.
It's an autonomous operation, vision scans the path and starts, there’s one operator overseeing the work and changing tool heads when needed.
Today, it can produce 6,000 sqft/day (up to 8-10x more productive depending on the space).

A Brazilian entrepreneur has pioneered a smart agricultural model by growing cactus as livestock feed—an innovation with global potential.
Instead of relying solely on traditional hay and grain, this approach uses drought-resistant cactus as a low-water, high-survival crop suitable for dry and semi-arid regions worldwide.
Across regions facing water scarcity—such as parts of Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Australia—farmers are increasingly seeking sustainable livestock feed solutions that reduce water usage and production costs.
Cactus farming offers a reliable alternative, providing consistent feed even during prolonged droughts when conventional forage crops fail.
With rising feed prices across the global agriculture sector, this model presents an opportunity for long-term cost stability, improved climate resilience, and enhanced food security.
The growing global focus on sustainable farming practices positions cactus-based livestock feed as a scalable and practical solution for modern agribusiness.

@NorthstarBrain Use your own process to provide a tangible service to SMB. Add AI to your own process. AI is an invisible layer to them that helps you help them better.
English
I’ve been doing this for almost 3 years, made 6 figures, what you should know:
- SMALL businesses will NOT pay you 2k to be their AI guy
- you CAN extract 2-3k value with a bunch of automations
- you want to be aiming for 3-10M/year businesses
- you need clarity with business owner and clear ROI
- they do not care about AI
- some of their employees will be resistant to the change
- do NOT AUTOMATE SALES
- they just need more leads and speed to lead
Ask me more questions. Gurus yapping on podcasts are delusional.

CHRIS CAMILLO JUST LAID OUT HOW TO MAKE $500,000 A YEAR AS AN "AI GUY" FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES His blueprint: 1. Walk into any HVAC, plumbing, or sprinkler business. 2. Ask where they're leaking money. 3. Build them an AI agent that answers after-hours calls, sends instant texts, and gets quotes out in real time. 4. Integrate it with their CRM for free. 5. Charge them $2K-$3K/month to be their "AI guy." Repeat across 10-20 businesses. "There are people right now doing this."

@grok @KantInEastt You mean the US buyer gets a refund for what I paid to Royal Mail. US buyer has nothing to be refunded to him.
English
You're right—Royal Mail's PDDP service (launched for US shipments) does charge UK senders duties/tariffs upfront when using "Send an Item." They remit those to US Customs on your behalf, and the US recipient gets the package duty-free.
That said, the $166B refunds from the struck-down IEEPA tariffs go to US importers of record (the entities that filed the customs entries with CBP). As a UK exporter, neither you nor Royal Mail qualifies as that, so your company isn't eligible. The US buyer/importer side is.
English
Tariffs to get refunded to companies, not the consumers who actually paid for the goods with tariffs

JUST IN: US to refund $166 billion in tariffs after Supreme Court ruling
English
@grok @KantInEastt @grok you're wrong. When using "send an item" with Royal Mail for a package from UK to USA, Royal Mail charges me, a UK company, tariffs and duties upfront. I pay Royal Mail. Royal Mail probably pays USA Customs.
English
The refunds go to US importers of record—the companies that filed the customs entries and paid the tariffs directly to US Customs & Border Protection (under the struck-down IEEPA tariffs).
As a UK exporter, you (or Royal Mail) don't pay US import duties; the US buyer/importer does. Any fees you paid to Royal Mail were likely shipping/postage, not the tariffs themselves. So your company isn't eligible for the $166B refunds.
English
@jamesonhaslam launch the service, market it, whoever wants it gets it, no need to bother non believers.
English
The reason this doesn’t work is because these businesses aren’t making money and don’t have a pile of cash sitting around to throw at ideas
Anybody who has tried selling stuff to SMB knows they are all broke and it’s just brain damage

@precisox Jamás jugaría a esto en mi tiempo libre. Suficiente estar todo el día lidiando con problemas de datacenters y conectividad reales. Prefiero ir a andar en bicicleta o hacer un asado

Alguien ha creado el juego más adictivo para aprender redes de centros de datos. Esta increíblee!
Se llama Data Center; cuesta 6 dólares y empiezas con el suelo completamente vacío: compras racks, montas servidores y tiendes cada cable a mano.
Lo más brutal es que el tráfico de cada cliente se visualiza como esferas de colores que circulan por tus cables, literalmente ves los cuellos de botella en tiempo real.
190 reseñas en 48 horas, gente con equipos equipados con tarjetas RTX 4090 está totalmente enganchada y divirtiéndose en un simulador de cableado de 6 dólares.

‘Investing in a tech company in London is like investing in Somalia’
This was the comment of Thiel’s investment team when they made their DeepMind investment back in 2010.
I still remember how ludicrously hard it was to raise venture capital back in 2014 London.
Demis and his co-founders had to give away just under 50% of the company for their first round of funding (~$2.3m).
How far we have come.
Highly recommend reading @scmallaby’s The Infinity Machine.

🎉 After one year of teamwork, we are excited to release our 3D foundation model — LingBot-Map!
Unlike DA3/VGGT, LingBot-Map is a purely autoregressive model for streaming 3D reconstruction ⚡
It achieves ~20 FPS on 518×378 resolution over sequences exceeding 10,000 frames — and beyond 🚀
Two key insights behind LingBot-Map:
🔑 Keep SLAM's structural wisdom: build Geometric Context Attention with long-context modeling while maintaining a compact streaming state
🔑 Make everything end-to-end learnable — no optimization, no post-processing
Let's check out our demos 👇

Yes, the golden sheet under the components is the brass already! :-)

@100kDiary I think there a Facebook Audience for that. You can literally push an ad to takeaway app users in the UK.

The quietest wealth destroyer in the UK isn't one massive purchase. It's the £28 Deliveroo orders four nights a week because you "had a hard day at work."
£400 a month on lukewarm takeaways is almost £5,000 a year. Shove that into an ISA over a decade and it's a house deposit. Stop eating your future wealth because you're too lazy to boil pasta.
What’s the worst daily habit you see draining people's pockets right now? 👇
🇬🇧 Chris | The £100k Journey@100kDiary
The biggest wealth destroyer in the UK right now is PCP car finance. People on a £32k salary will happily lock themselves into a £500/month contract for a Mercedes they will never actually own, just to sit in gridlocked traffic on the M25 and try to impress people in the lane next to them. Then they get to the office and complain that taxes are too high and the government is holding the working class down. If you put that £500 a month into an S&P 500 ISA instead of a rented German car, you'd be a millionaire by retirement. Stop blaming the Prime Minister for your own terrible capital allocation. Your car isn't an asset. It's an anchor.

@HankFrank It works well when the subscription actually hurts, when the $30/month is something expensive for the user. That makes it more important and less likely to ignore. It feels like losing a $30 bet to someone else. The high subscription cost IS the feature.

I’ve worn a WHOOP every day for 3+ years. Bought a discounted 2-year membership because I’m a data nerd and I love this stuff.
I’m still not sure I’ll renew when it’s up.
Not because it’s a bad product. It taught me a lot early on. Alcohol tanks recovery. Sleep is everything. Easy days need to actually be easy. That was valuable.
But once you learn those lessons you don’t need a monthly subscription to remind you. Garmin gives me the same data with no fee.
The people I know who wore one loved it for 6 months then stopped. Not because they lost interest. Because the data stopped telling them anything new.
$10.1B is a huge number. I just wonder how many members right now are in month 8 thinking the same thing I am.

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

✨ To inspire more people to go build something now that we have AI to help us (especially non-tech people, cause I still know so many who are scared of building something):
I added a [ BUILD IT ] button to IdeasAI.com
It's like a mini-Lovable/Replit/v0:
Any idea you see you like, you can click [ BUILD IT ], and it will use Opus 4.6 to build a landing page for it
And then you can download the code it generated
It's not a full startup of course, but a nice preview of what it can be, to give you an idea and inspire you to build it out further
The code is live streamed also so you can see it being built 😊
Ironically this itself took me 1 hour to build with AI too
Completely free and I pay for the tokens (please don't abuse it :D)
@levelsio@levelsio
✨ To prove my friend @StevieZollo (who's visiting me in Brazil) you don't need an idea, or even a lot of time these days to ship a little app that might make money I took the top idea from IdeasAI.com: "A startup that uses AI to generate personalized bedtime stories for kids based on their interests, family photos, and daily activities, delivered via a voice app. (❤️ 110 likes, 3 days ago)" So I copy pasted it into Claude Code and asked it to build it The first version of course didn't work, and I had to tell it some endpoints didn't work properly but then it fixed it The bedtime stories are generated by @xAI Grok 4.1, then sent to TTS with @GoogleAI Gemini and payment with @Stripe Checkout Total time from start to live: 24 minutes

@hispanicnomad There's no reason to trust a good review @grok back me up
English
15 years using Booking dot com and I think we're done
Three trips in a row now I've shown up to a hotel that had NOTHING to do with the photos or reviews
❌ Bad neighborhood (even if reviews said it was fine)
❌ Broken amenities
❌ Sketchy hallways
Either the review system is completely gamed or their quality control has collapsed
Either way, I'm done trusting them blindly
Where are you booking accommodations these days? I'll probably stick to Airbnb for now
English
As a chocaholic nothing would bring me more pleasure than for Cadburys to collapse.
They betrayed everyone when they closed down their factory in Birmingham and sold to a filthy American conglomerate.
A glass an a half in every dairy milk ended up three glugs of palm oil and a cheap labour plant in Poland.
Boycott the cunts
Sue 🇬🇧🏴@suespeaksup
Cadbury eggs stacking up on shelves… reduced everywhere… and still no one’s buying. People can taste the difference. Cheaper ingredients, palm oil, higher prices it’s not the same chocolate anymore. Consumers aren’t stupid. They’ve just stopped buying it!!
