This👇 the next big milestone from @Instawork Robotics Lab (IRL). Thanks to @nabeel @adarshkulkarni for being on our panel.

POV: A bunch of new friends eager to meet you 👋🧢

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

Beautiful morning in LA ☀️ talking future of work, robots, and physical AI with @VickyNguyenTV @NBCNews

Every technological shift in history has given us a runway/opportunity to train and upskill workers.

Excited to see new doors opening every day for @instawork’s Pros!

At various moments of CNBC's interview with GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen, the hosts laughed, exhaled, or raised their eyebrows. https://t.co/ck8BPCfQPm

Getting paid to think is peak everything. If you’re getting paid well to think, don’t take it for granted. That’s 1% of civilization type stuff. Your ancestors are proud and jealous that you’ve gotten this far.

[Sumir Meghani @sumirmeghani]

Just returned from a fascinating couple weeks in China meeting robotics teams/manufacturers and retail/Internet operators. Found @ericjang11 and @vhmth's reflections useful and wanted to share themes/tradeoffs I've been reflecting on.

Came home with more questions than answers!

[Sumir Meghani @sumirmeghani]

Amazing lunch today talking robotics and abundance with the inimitable @Scobleizer

[Ryan Hickman @ryanmhickman]

I can finally share what I've been up to. I recently joined @instawork as Director of TPM, Robotics.

If you know me, you know I love building custom hardware and running labs. We are launching the IRL and our new wearable, Instacore, this May. More 👇

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

@sumirmeghani @instawork Congrats on the launch! Looks more and more like robotics data problems are going to be solved soon

[Amanda Pires @apires1]

@sumirmeghani @instawork 20,000 people already certified for work that didn't exist a few years ago.🔥

[Sumir Meghani @sumirmeghani]

Today, we're opening @Instawork Robotics Lab (IRL), connecting the robotics industry with > 10 million skilled workers. IRL is offering the first certified workforce program for the physical AI economy ... with 20,000 @Instawork Pros already certified! 👷

CNBC must be so relieved

[Applied Intuition @AppliedInt]

"Cult classic, not a bestseller."

After nearly a decade building in stealth, our co-founders @Qasar and Peter Ludwig join @MollySOShea to talk physical AI, the foundation behind it, and where the industry is heading.

Watch below. 👇

[Amanda Pires @apires1]

Robots still need someone to charge them and rescue them from potholes. Thanks @latimes for telling that side of the story.

[Sumir Meghani @sumirmeghani]

Had a blast talking robot wrangling with @latimes. Robots don’t replace people. They create new jobs, just like every other tech innovation in history. Physical AI revolution is a lot more human than people think.

[Nilesh Christopher @NilChristopher]

For years, Charlie Snodgrass delivered for Uber Eats. Now, he spends his mornings "wrangling" the very robots that replaced his old job.

Inside the West Hollywood depot where autonomous robot still needs humans to give it a bath, for @latimes

[Nilesh Christopher @NilChristopher]

Whether these semiskilled robot wrangler jobs will see an in-step increase as these companies scale up operations remains to be seen.

Cos don't share their human-to-robot ratios
