Evolution is a giant trial and error game, lots of bets placed and only few successful or lucky ones forwarded to next generation. It’s power law, scientific method, and market theory at insane scale. #evolution

“Hardware is cool”
Coming out of stanford in 2018, I had decided to go the hardware route. Everyone at stanford wanted to crypto, saas, social apps or pe bros wanted to do d2c at gsb.
My Reasoning for hardware
- pc in the world stagnant at 2bn - not a big headroom to grow
- mobile phones with 80 percent of population
- avg person uses 60 apps frequently and only about 1 changes every year and a million plus launch every year,
Next big thing
- chips in everything around us - factories, cars, speakers, traffic lights - everything.
I worked at Samsara for almost 2 yrs learning the chops from some of the best and took a team and built @spot_ai - visual intelligence for physical world.
We are 6 yrs in, 1000 enterprises, early but absolutely crushing it. Love this take from @shaunmmaguire
TBPN@tbpn
Sequoia’s @shaunmmaguire wrote a private hardware manifesto arguing that over the next 25 years, most of the money will be made in hardware: "Every software revolution is preceded by a hardware revolution." "To have the iOS App Store that enabled Uber, DoorDash, and all of these great companies - you needed to have the iPhone." "This AI revolution - we're seeing what it can do from the software layer, but it's still limited by hardware." "The hardware we were doing for a long time was all following Moore's Law. It was all branching out of this decision in the mid-1950s to go all in on the silicon supply chain." "That has created magic, and there's still a couple orders of magnitude of juice to squeeze, but we’re hitting fundamental physics limits - Dennard scaling, things like that." "I think this tech tree is branching into humanoid robots, into silicon photonics, into orbital data centers - all of these new hardware areas where there's going to be 20+ years of progress." "There's going to be incredible businesses built on the back of this. And a lot of dumpster fires."

Linq is doing ~$8M ARR btw and adding $1M/month.
Elliott Potter@elliott__potter
We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering @interaction, @pika_labs, @getlindy, @zocomputer, @joindimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

@venturetwins @JenniferHli Please do :) we build video ai - so always interested in any kind of image / video models
English
Truly blown away by a new AI image model launching this week ✨
Finally, you can generate photos that actually look like you!
It's so much better than everything I've tried - from LoRAs to NB Pro.
Onboarding some early testers. DM or comment if you want access 👀

@thisguyknowsai @ylecun We have 400 million hours of real world video data - construction sites, retail stores etc - there’s so many cool things to build. @ylecun

🚨 BREAKING: Meta researchers showed a model 2 million hours of video. No labels. No physics textbook. No supervision at all.
It learned gravity. Object permanence. Inertia.
And it just beat Gemini 1.5 Pro and GPT-4 level models at physics understanding.
Here's what just happened:

Calling all Bay Area whale watchers/enthusiasts! If you live in San Francisco, you don't have to go far to see whales...
There has been a couple Gray whales hanging out and spouting right next to Crissy Field Beach the past few days🐳 Head on over today to try and see them!

I asked Gemini to build a Bay Area budget for a family of four and the results are brutal 🥲
Even if both parents work and make $27K in after-tax income, you're looking at just $649 in monthly savings after all expenses.
In the new Sheets, you can type =AI("Get the mortgage for a $2.5M home in Palo Alto") to see your dreams evaporate in real time.
I made a full tutorial on how to get the most out of Gemini in Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Drive with 5 real use cases.

We went from $0-$9m in 14 months and signed 5 Fortune 500 companies. 2026 is about to blow up - video ai for the physical world.

🔥🚪👀 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣 𝗜𝗡𝗦, weekly profiles of cracked teams | Ep 25: @spot_ai (w/ @rish_gpt) Spot AI empowers large enterprises to layer AI atop commodity security cameras- using this AI to automate everything from security operations to SOP enforcement in manufacturing settings. At the helm is Rish Gupta- it was a lot of fun to speak with him, @SudBhatija, Subbu, and @AllieLilly about the product as well as the quirky and delightful culture that makes Spot such a great place to work.

Day 90: writing for the gym - I lost 13 lbs - not 30lbs as I had hoped. But RHR is down on a weekly average basis by 5 points, vo2 max up by 3 points but feel it’s about to pop more soon as sub 6 pace I can hold for much longer. Visible difference. The quest for another 15-20 lbs continues.

Alright x - let’s do this.
Yday, was grandfathers death anniversary, we would always go and give a lot to charity on this day.
But this time I decided to give something to myself so I can be more present to others around me - my health.
Last year has been extremely the most stressful year - taught me a lot, made me a better human but also a bigger human - gained 20 lbs.
As someone who is used to running marathons, triathlons and more - this is unacceptable.
So as a challenge - I am going to document my journey of losing not 20 lbs but 30 lbs - coz why the f not. What you don’t do with intensity and passion, you just shouldn’t.
The first 10 lbs are going to be easy - eating real food, avoiding gluten n alcohol. Should take 1 month
The next 10lbs will be hard work and might end up taking 2-3 months.
The last 10lbs is going to be endurance build - to be in race weight. This will require discipline on multiple fronts and can take 3 months or more.
Should be in time for sf marathon and incredible race shape.

It was quite fun to watch the spectacle of Travis Kalanick's comeback. The whole media sphere was tripping over itself. Here is my day two take of the news. What's fact. What's fluff. From someone who is seen him play the game for a long time. om.co/2026/03/14/the…
