Underrated cheat code:
Believing you are the outlier, that you can do things others cannot do...
... and then working relentlessly to make it the truth.
Every successful person I know is the same:
Totally unrealistic
Delusional optimism
Chasing personal freedom
Obsessed beyond what’s normal Does the opposite of 99% of people
Called insane by normies
Works in a flow state
Limitless mindset
An “easy life” is a f*cking nightmare. Do hard things.
AI isn't just changing what's possible in robotics — it's shattering it.
Standard Bots CEO @evanbeard and Head of AI @leifjentoft showed more than 1,500 people how at @AutomateShow's packed keynote last week during the show's first-ever live demo.
What if anyone could prompt their robot like Claude and program an end-to-end routine in seconds? What if robots could see what you see, move like you move, and adjust to variability in real-time?
AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century because they're so much easier to use and much more capable than legacy robots.

We only write 1-2 primers a year because we want them to be durable. It’s simple to publish something market relevant for 6 months, but our goal is a piece you can return to years later and still derive value.
Our Robotics primer meets that standard.

We're coming out of stealth.
We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.
Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.
Our first racks ship this summer.
Druckenmiller's advice to young people who want to get into finance:
"if they're going in it for the money, they should go elsewhere."
"there's too many people in the business like me that just love the game and the passion. and they're not going to be able to outwork the people that are passionate."
"and it's not a fun game if you're losing."
the people who survive long enough to compound real returns are the ones who genuinely enjoy the research, the building, the debugging at 2 AM. if you're only here for the P&L, the first extended drawdown will end you.
I recently spent a month in Asia, including 10 days in China, where I met with senior policy makers in several countries, and I found that over the past few months, there has been a big shift in the world order. I share my perspective in my latest article.
As always, I welcome your questions and thoughts.
Andrew Ng:
"100% of my tasks are now done by AI agents - hype has exceeded my expectations. Loops is next step.
in 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting."
In a 30-minute talk, Andrew Ng explains how to build self-improving agentic systems from scratch.
Worth more than a $500 agentic course.
Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.
This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
