I’m pleased to announce ther I’ve joined Oculi as their new CEO. The founder, Charbel Rizk, PhD, will remain with Oculi as our CTO and Chairman of our Board.
With the emergence of Physical AI, being able to ‘see’ is critcal enable the full capabilities of these machines on the Edge of the Edge.
Oculi has developed a software defined AI Vision Sensor specifically suited for this market need. Unlike currret camera senors that are desined to capture high resolution images, Oculi’s technology works more like the human eye, capturing just enough information to allow the brain (the media processor) to interpret what’s there. This approach provides an order of magnitude lower system power, lower system cost, high speed, lower latency, and enhanced privacy & secutity.

I’m increasingly convinced that emotional control is the ultimate sign of personal growth. The ability to remain unshaken by the little collisions and inconveniences of life. To avoid assigning false narratives to everyday slights. That’s when you take control of your own life.
This is great advice that I had the privilege to hear from Mr. Buffett at age 24. Other than my parents, no one has had as profound influence on me as has Warren Buffett.
Mentors can be life changing. Find one when you are young.
Henry is one of the smartest investors on the planet. He also rarely does this type of speaking - so it’s a special holiday treat. More free learning opportunities from @patrick_oshag! 🙏 🙏 🙏
I was recently interviewed on the WillPower podcast. Thanks to Will Holden for doing this. We were able to discuss my journey leading multiple companies, taking one public with a $1.2 billion valuation, and raising over $200 million.

Wow... Warren Buffet says goodbye in his final annual letter today (full copy in the comments below).
As he signed off, the following were final words of advice:
"One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. You can start with Tom Murphy; he was the best.
Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior.
Don’t count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.
Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.
I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman."
