May 12th in SF, Where the Opportunity Sits in Physical AI by @join_savant For our next Choose Good Quests session, we are hosting @bznotes ,managing partner at @redglassvc and @KanuGulati, partner at @khoslaventures to share about opportunities in physical AI. Physical AI is moving fast — but for founders, the map is still being drawn. Bilal and Kanu have backed some of the most ambitious companies across AI, robotics and autonomy. They’ll share what they’re seeing from the investor seat: where the biggest opportunities are, what makes a strong founding team, how founders should think about wedge, market timing, defensibility, and what kinds of Physical AI companies they’d be excited to fund. Come join us. Link in the thread 🧵

Chinese robotics startup Linkerbot, known for making robotic hands for humanoids, will seek a $6 billion valuation in its next financing round, the company said reut.rs/42PBVla

Today @deviationcap is officially live! The founders I get to spend time with are wildly ambitious and deeply technical: physical AI, new substrates for the AI stack, agents, developer tools. Things that felt impossible a few years ago are shipping right now. Lucky to be doing this work with this team!

A seven-year-old Indian boy created history on Friday by becoming the youngest to swim across the Palk Strait. Ishank Singh from Jharkhand's Ranchi successfully crossed the strait, which lies between India and Sri Lanka, in 9 hours and 50 minutes. The waterway is challenging due to strong currents, sea waves, and unpredictable weather. However, Singh overcame these obstacles to swim the 29-kilometre stretch between Talaimannar in Sri Lanka and Arichalmunai in Dhanushkodi. He began his swim at 4 am and completed it at 1:50 pm. As he set foot on the sands of Rameswaram, he was warmly welcomed by officials and supporters. #IshankSingh #PalkStrait #WorldRecord #YoungAchiever #Swimming #Ranchi
