At 70+ I feel like I'm thirty backing exciting innovators/innovations making the impossible possible and from improbable ideas to world-changing socially impactful companies. Never had such a fast learning rate in my life or felt I could have so much impact, which is exciting.

Everyone says they’re building a world model. Very few actually are. Most AI learns to see the world. A world model learns to predict what happens in it — specifically, what happens when people do things. That’s a different problem. Seeing is passive. Consequences require understanding cause and effect Any AI can learn to read a scene. A world model learns INTUITION about what changes it. @gen_intuition

Packy and I spent the past month unpacking world models from first principles. This piece is the result of that exploration. We go into why, what, how, and look out into the future on the implications of our work.

@vkhosla @Jason Spot on! South Korea: world's lowest fertility (0.8) + highest robot density = "Labor Paradox" Not doom, just transition friction. Policy can fix it. Feed back on my report?: github.com/dlatjwns/The-L…

The most impactful innovations start with imagination. @PeterDiamandis is putting $3.5M+ behind filmmakers who can show an optimistic, technology-forward future in 3-minute trailers. AI tools welcome. "x.com/PeterDiamandis…"
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis

Stories shape our future. Story tellers manifest our destiny. Someone, somewhere, is writing an epic screenplay that is more Star Trek, than Terminator. A vision of a compelling and optimistic tomorrow that will shape humanity’s next few decades. The cell phone, the internet, humanoid robots, self-driving cars, voice assistants, and Starships were all imagined in science fiction before they were built by engineers. Stories are blueprints. Question: What if we asked storytellers around the world to envision an epic and compelling future for humanity, and then funded them to produce that film? What if we could flood the world with positive visions of the future, rather than dystopian predictions? Announcing the Future Vision XPRIZE 🧵

Imo every AI lab should offer their APIs at cost / for free outside of peak hours for every career related service and educational institution - by far one of the easiest ways to accelerate progress is allowing these to build out systems without $ friction faster (incl students)

Every company I've built comes back to the same four things: a big unsolved problem, a differentiated solution, a world-class team, and early customer validation. With @rhoda_ai_ , the problem is robots that fail outside the lab. The differentiator is internet-scale video pretraining. The team is exceptional. And the traction is real — strong customer interest and evals with 100% autonomous operation at a major global automaker. I talked through the full journey on the Dealmakers podcast.

Really valuable to understand why LLM's out of the box are not good but are invaluable with added intelligent guidance, safeguards, triage etc...

Infinite mental health services affordable @Limbic_ai. Key finding in Nature Medicine: nature.com/articles/s4159… Limbic Layer™ turns any frontier LLM into a behavioral health specialist, improving therapeutic performance (as judged by other therapists), patient experience, and clinical outcomes. 75% of Limbic's AI sessions ranked among the top 10% of human therapist sessions, demonstrating superior clinical performance in a fully autonomous setting. CBT rated superior to both human clinicians and underlying LLMs

Founders: the real lesson from the SVB collapse three years ago wasn’t “diversify your bank.” It was this: find out now -- in good times -- whether your investor will wire money with no strings when everything breaks. Most won’t. That answer will matter more than any term sheet. khoslaventures.com/posts/march-10…

Crisis removes marketing. In March 2023, "value-add" VCs sent sympathy tweets while founders begged for payroll. A few wired cash, no terms, no leverage. The rest were vultures in venture clothing. khoslaventures.com/posts/march-10…

On the 3rd anniversary of SVB: the firms with the balance sheets to help mostly chose not to. They used a crisis as leverage. That choice was visible then. It should still be remembered now. khoslaventures.com/posts/march-10…

Three years ago, SVB exposed who VCs really are. Not the ones who tweeted sympathy. The ones who wired money -- no docs, no terms, no theater -- before the government stepped in. Very few did. That's the test most failed. khoslaventures.com/posts/march-10…

The bar for robotics isn’t lab demos — it’s autonomous operation in real production environments. What impressed me about @rhoda_ai_ was seeing that level of performance with remarkably little robot training data. Pretraining on internet-scale video to build a strong physical prior may seem unconventional today, but approaches like this are what will ultimately unlock general-purpose robotics.
Jagdeep Singh@startupjag

After operating in stealth for the last 18 months @rhoda_ai_ , we’re excited today to finally show the world what we’ve been working on. We believe we’re on a path to physical AGI with the launch of our brand new foundation model, the Direct Video Action (DVA) model.
