There’s been a lot of allegations against Delve. But we haven’t been able to share our side of the story until today due to ongoing cybersecurity and forensics investigations. Maintaining customer trust is central to everything we do. That said, we grew too fast and fell short of our own standard. To our customers, we deeply apologize for the inconveniences caused. We take these allegations seriously and have made changes: a new auditor network, free re-audits and pentests for all customers, enhanced transparency in audit communications, and more. However, we also want to set the record straight on the anonymous attacks. The evidence we have points to a targeted cyberattack from a malicious actor, not a “whistleblower.” We believe the attacker purchased Delve under false pretenses, exfiltrated internal company data, and used it to launch a coordinated smear campaign. The posts rely on a mix of fabricated claims, cherry-picked screenshots, and stolen data taken out of context. See the link in the comments for more details. Delve was built to modernize compliance. We are not going anywhere and are committed to building what's next.

After 8 months of building in stealth and testing our infrastructure on 10000+ hours of real-world data and hundreds of unique environments, we're bringing @fpv_labs into the open today. FPV Labs started with the following bet - if human data proves to be the underlying factor that determines scaling laws in general-purpose robotics, it will trigger the largest economic transformation in human history, and the underlying infrastructure that captures that data will determine how fast we get there. We will achieve this by building the full-stack infrastructure for capturing, processing, transferring, and evaluating human experience into spatial, temporal, and semantic knowledge for machines. Despite all the research novelty behind ChatGPT, its success can be attributed to one foundational fact - the scaling law of transformers. We believe the same dynamics have made their way into robotics. Recent studies showed task completion rates jumping from 30% to 70% when human demonstration data scaled from 1,000 to 20,000 hours, a log-linear trend that mirrors exactly what we saw in language and vision. Seeing these emergent signs of scaling law curves in robotics, we believe we are entering the era of general-purpose robotics policies, which makes the next few years the most exciting time in the history of this field. But the library of physical interactions required to train general-purpose robot policies does not exist yet. Over the last 8 months, we've seen dozens of companies emerge in this space. We were really happy to see new companies pushing this space forward, but we also saw the same pattern repeat: every egocentric data company was making some tradeoffs between quality, scale, and diversity. We have built FPV labs on the core principle that high-quality data is orders of magnitude more valuable than sheer volume. Case in point, self-driving cars collect thousands of hours of data per day, but only a small fraction of that data is actually useful for training better models. Several studies, like RT-2, have shown that as little as 1% of data improves as much as 25% on task success. The quality and diversity of data matter a lot more than scale, so there is clearly a power law curve in the downstream impact of data. We've spent months obsessing over data quality by building our stack, discarding it, rebuilding it, and iterating until we found a formula that doesn't compromise downstream quality at scale. We believe the downstream impact here is far more profound than most people realize. Workers globally are paid around $60 trillion per year in aggregate, and a lion's share of that compensation goes to physical labor - tasks that require navigating real spaces, manipulating real objects, and negotiating the infinite variability of the physical world. Human-to-robot transfer will be one of the most important infrastructures that will shape our society in the near future, and if it works, the economic impact will dwarf every technology transition that came before it in an exponential manner and lead to the creation of goods and services we can’t imagine today. Our mission is to lay the groundwork for us to transition into this future - the future of abundance. We are deeply grateful to our earliest believers, @paraschopra and @lossfunk, who played a critical role in shaping our thinking.

everyone says robotics needs more data. thats wrong. there's more useful robotics data sitting in S3 buckets right now than most foundation model teams have ever trained on. every robotics company that's been deploying for more than six months has the same problem. their robots generate sensor data on every single mission: IMU, camera feeds, lidar, joint states, behaviour logs. terabytes of it. real-world production data from real environments. it all goes into storage and mostly stays there. meanwhile the foundation model teams are spending millions on simulation environments and teleoperation rigs to generate training data from scratch. manufacturing the thing that production teams already have. except the production data is real. it has noise, edge cases, actual physics. but it's trapped. different sensors, different formats, different schemas, different robots. nothing is labelled, nothing is standardised, nothing is searchable. to actually use any of it you'd need to normalise it, time-align it, index it, make it queryable, embedded. the data bottleneck in robotics isn't scarcity. it's accessibility. the data is there. nobody can use it, fast, when they need it.

Congrats to @Starcloud_ on their $170M Series A at a $1.1B valuation! They're building data centers in space—just 17 months from YC Demo Day to unicorn. They launched their first satellite with an Nvidia H100 GPU last year and are now developing Starcloud-3, a spacecraft designed to launch from Starship that aims to be cost-competitive with Earth-based data centers for AI inference. techcrunch.com/2026/03/30/sta…

@aaawonzo you'd be surprised at how many of the greatest minds, people who built the internet we know today, were at those parties.

I did this once in the late 90's at a party in the middle of a forest north of SF, in Willits, CA (iykyk). It was back when you could buy this legally off the internet from "research labs." Nothing as fancy and scripted as this. Just at a nice location surrounded by a bunch of other like-minded individuals. Take a pinch and go. Only lasts a few minutes, but what a great experience to unlock parts of your brain you never knew were there. I still remember the feeling. For me, this experimentation is akin to a child spinning in circles until they fall down from the high. Since the dawn of time, humans have been drawn to these things without even knowing it. Once was enough, never felt the need to continue doing it.

what’s happening in this country is no coincidence. the most dangerous adversary to the American empire isn’t China, Iran, or Russia. It’s systemic polarization. In Washington’s Farewell address he warned that party spirit would divide the country, encourage "alternate domination" of opposing factions, and prioritize party power over the common good. sound familiar?
