We're looking for a Head of Product at @sevensevensix 🏛️ Our Head of Product will lead the development and evolution of Cerebro, our proprietary software platform that powers all of our firm's operations for our founders, team, and investors. This hire is personal to me...

nobody has built the @scale_AI for physical AI. eight years after @CovariantAI proved the data flywheel is the business. eight years. the reason is obvious once you see it: simulation looks like it should work. reduce 500 real demonstrations to 50, close the gap with compute, ship. @nvidia has more sim-to-real resources than anyone. their own documentation says the reality gap is still the core problem. physics doesn’t care about your render quality. force signals, contact dynamics, failure modes: simulation generates plausible versions of all three. a deployed robot finds the difference in the first hour. the companies that got it right stopped trying to solve simulation fidelity and built data operations instead. Covariant. @physical_int . the architecture is the research contribution. the data operation is the actual business. what needs to exist: dedicated manipulation data infrastructure. teleoperation rigs, tactile sensors, failure annotation, sold as a service to the foundation model labs who need contact-rich data but won’t build this themselves. operationally harder than language data. structurally more defensible. almost entirely unbuilt. the moat compounds with every deployed robot hour. the window is open.

wow the chorizo & bacon breakfast burrito with house-made salsa at mj’s in nob hill might just clear breakfast little which I had as #1 above il canto, al carajo and cafe isabella
