In a society where everyone wants to #changetheworld, change yourself

@ahatamiz1 "research" is such a loaded word these days ...

If you’re an AI PhD student just starting out, don't be discouraged by the hype of "autoresearch" automating scientific discovery. It won't. AutoML made the same big promises in 2017, and we all know how that turned out. Ignore the noise. Master the fundamentals and learn to do research from first principles. Trends fade, but a solid foundation is how you will actually thrive.

@hthieblot There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Now get to work.

The hard part is waking up for years not knowing if it’ll ever work.

Raising money isn’t the hard part of being a founder. Here’s what actually breaks people ↓

@hthieblot world model that lets you handle edge cases for autonomous systems. building and talking to customers. repeat.

Looking for obsessed builders. I invest up to $250K first checks in: • Robotics, drones, space • Applied AI/ML, models • Dev tools and infra • Manufacturing & logistics, and more... DMs open or just reply here what you are building. Early > polished.

love this

this is so cool. should get more attention. real-time VLM on your browser. Kudos @liquidai team

@drgurner how about no headphones at all

I know a lot of people love their ear buds, but choose to look like a dork & save your brain. Use wired, over-the-ear headphones, save your hearing, & save your brain. Early hearing loss is one of the top preventable factors in developing later dementia.

@ethanjohnweber Cool 😎. Would be great if project website as input is not a requirement.

I made a Claude Code skill that generates conference posters 🛠️ Instead of a static PDF, it outputs a single HTML file — drag to resize columns, swap sections, adjust fonts, then give your layout back to Claude. 🔁 🔗 Skill 👉 github.com/ethanweber/pos…

Sign of wealth

@PaulGavrikov Go take a walk 😂

Help, I hit my Claude limit. What do I do now?????

@readswithravi exactly - I find great fictions more insightful than the 'best' instruction manuals

You develop more emotional intelligence by reading classic novels rather than self-help books.

great, now what is the fastest way to access a Unitree humanoid without spending $$$? Asking for a friend :)

Robots don’t learn survival the way humans do 🤖 @ToruO_O shares how teleoperation and multi-sensory policy learning can fast-track robots toward foundational human skills.She then dives into a core RL question: how do we design learning environments and reward functions that lead to useful, optimizable behaviors?

@jefielding usually the later one 🤣

Half the VCs I know are changing their focus areas / investment thesis right now. Feels like a moment of deep reflection - or panic.

@Codie_Sanchez great, now I can focus on my creativity 😃

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe.

@Codie_Sanchez @KjHardrict Creative people do things for the joy of it, if growth comes, great, if not, yolo …

@KjHardrict My thesis is top creative talent goes into areas with the most growth. Creative storytellers are now interesting in AI... I want them to use that to help our marketing and social too.

We're hiring professional "vibe coders." Non-technical people who are top 1% at using Lovable/Replit/Bolt/v0/Cursor/Kling. *Need you in marketing, social, podcasts & advisory. Drop the coolest project you've built.

@Mubarak_mubious Thinking of value over growth

what habit immediately revęals that a person grew up in a poor family ??

@bekeestitches @Mubarak_mubious This one exactly I was thinking

@Mubarak_mubious A common one is hyper‑practical spending always finding ways to stretch resources, avoid waste, or choose “value over luxury.” It often shows up in habits like holding onto things, over‑planning purchases, or avoiding debt at all costs.

@BellaBaddie__ Person of interest

What was the first series you were completely addicted to? The series that paused everything?

We trained a foundation model on 18 million heart ultrasound videos to predict structure instead of pixels. Introducing EchoJEPA, the first foundation-scale JEPA for medical video. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.02603 Code: github.com/bowang-lab/Ech… 🧵 1/n
