OWN THE NARRATIVE —> WIN THE FUTURE Just posted my latest thesis on Substack and Story-Driven Simulation as the unlock for Humanity we’ve been looking for. 🖖 Read it here: 👉 open.substack.com/pub/caitycroft…

Building a Spatial Systems Atlas @theworldlabs hackathon @a16z for real-world & fictional complex systems mapping & multi-world generation Thanks to @drfeifei @chlassner @BenMildenhall @XRarchitect and the World Labs & a16z teams for hosting us - it was an amazing event. 🌐🌎🌏🔮

@dmarcos thanks for having us! - it was a great time

See you tonight! Can’t wait to see all beautiful things you’ll make

Orion’s Belt and many other constellations quite visible tonight

I just published StoryOS: The Staging Server for Humanity medium.com/p/storyos-the-…

Created a Galactic World using @theworldlabs #Marble for a Spatial Cognition project I'm working on. Exciting advancements!

@ArthurMacwaters what about wielders of fire swords / fire katanas in addition to normal swords and VR swords

simple way to build generational wealth is just dump your 401k into any ceo who wields a sword

🌟 We Won the SensAI Hackademy SensAI Hackathon! — Best Upgrade to an Existing Project for Edgelord Samurai 🌟 Thrilled to share that our team won Best Upgrade to an Existing Project at the @SensAIHackademy Hackathon for Edgelord Samurai! Huge gratitude to my incredible teammates — Richard @InnerBushido @harriswarren , @Olasile Abolade, and Noor — for the creativity, technical brilliance, and good energy that made this build so much fun. And a heartfelt thank you to SensAI, @XRBootcamp , and @frontiertower for creating such an inspiring environment to experiment, learn, and push boundaries. The mentorship, the structure, and the community you’ve built make these hackathons feel like a launchpad for wild ideas. Thank you so much to @nigelhartman ᯅ @Ferhan_XRB Özkan @RachelDemant @Scobleizer Robert Scoble @Yağız Mungan @roangws 🤖 @XeniaBulatov @GregMadison @ Colin Lowenberg @ClovisVinant and all the other incredible mentors, jury, and fearless leaders who made it possible. What we built We created a mixed reality (MR/XR) multiplayer Fruit-Ninja-style party game, where players use a real katana handle mounted on a 3D-printed Quest controller casing. Using the new @Meta Meta PCA passthrough camera access, @opencvlive @OpenCVUniverse for object recognition, and @ExitGames Photon for co-location, we built a social MR experience where multiple players slice flying virtual objects together in the same physical space. I’m proud of what our team pulled off in such a short time — and incredibly excited about where this tech can go next. Congrats to all the teams who built amazing projects this weekend. Onward! ⚔️✨ Video uploaded to Youtube: lnkd.in/gGNdPCgB

@bradnecyk @Scobleizer very cool. What do you want said virtual being to accomplish, ideally? :)

Had an inspiring convo about virtual beings with @Scobleizer and it sent me into a frenzy — been feverishly coding a mental OS on top of an LLM: functional sensory inputs, memory, a subconscious database shaping a fully generative stream of thought. Less than a week in and it’s already coming alive. (Right now it is watching @ShowPsychedelic on YouTube and thinking about it)

@SahilBloom ☝️

Some people are so afraid of “shameless self-promotion” that they choose to live a life they hate rather than promote the work they’re genuinely proud of.

Learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable is a critical virtue.

@ZachBDell Congrats Zach! Well done

Today we are announcing our $1B Series C, but money isn’t the story. The story is what we’ll do with it, and the scale of the challenge ahead. Our mission isn’t constrained by capital, supply, or demand. It’s constrained by talent. To build America’s next great power company, we need the engineers, operators, and creatives ready to take on the challenge to join us. Power is the most important product in the world. It runs through everything: our homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and future. And the grid that delivers it is breaking. At Base, we’re building the future of power so human progress can accelerate. In the past two years, we’ve grown from an idea into one of the fastest growing energy companies in America. Now we’re entering a new phase of growth. Our first manufacturing site is rising in the heart of Austin, inside the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. Here we’ll build our own hardware to meet surging demand and scale nationwide. This is a key step in putting a battery on every home in the country. Few teams get to say their work powers human progress. We do. With a billion dollars of fuel, our next wave of growth will be defined not by capital, but by people who choose to step up, take ownership, and build the next great American power company. The old system is breaking. Come build the new one. Our Series C was led by Addition, with participation from both new and existing investors including Trust Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Altimeter, StepStone, Elad Gil, 137 Ventures, Terrain, Waybury, Ribbit, CapitalG, Spark, BOND, Lowercarbon, Avenir, Glade Brook, Positive Sum, and 1789.

@Andercot ….what’s your favorite alloy?

For all of history the engineering limits in every domain are set by the materials we have learned to master. Self Driving Robotic Laboratories and AI-Accelerated Science Will create a new Golden Age of Material Science Starting Now 🧵

Playing jazz with the ever-unfolding now 🤌🤌 Being the person who sees all the timelines/threads of reality available in any moment, and pulls on the one that makes that moment most valuable/meaningful/enjoyable for the most people 😏 Self-reliance & acceptance of oneself & others’ perpetual evolution (and being that source of safety and warmth) is powerful 🤍

@Andercot Caring not an iota about trivialities or being disingenuous. Equanimity. Agency. Aura…et all

Everyone who "has it" can identify someone else that "has it" right away. People who don't have it don't even think it exists, which ensures they'll never get it. What is "it"?

@arjuntalati Yes please! I have magical video quests to make 💗🫶🤌🤌
