it just doesn't work w/ cameras alone. You need more data to re-establish a firm identity and re-associate.
@KielbasaJJ@europemaxxed assuming a 100ft high pole 200ft from subjects, you get like 30-45px per subject
this is sub-144p resolution, like 1950s tv shit
An open-source robot vacuum you build yourself — Raspberry Pi, ROS 2, 2D LiDAR, Home Assistant, 3D printed chassis. No cloud, fully local.
oomwoo is early stage and building in public. The community can contribute modules in parallel — from SLAM navigation to dust bin design.

Don’t let the narrative of “permanent underclass” stop you from trying
Defeatism doesn’t take care of your family and the people you love
It’s a giant knife fight guaranteed by the tragedy of the commons and geopolitical conflict between the US and China with existential stakes of a superintelligence race which leaves individuals as the casualties
But it doesn’t have to
When Amazon came out the idea of a random dude competing with Walmart in the toothpaste category was literally insane. And yet - So many charcoal toothpaste drop shippers topped the chart that Crest had emergency meetings about the situation
Well over half of Amazon sales are from 3rd party sellers. (I co founded an Amazon advertising business which is now the dominant force in the space)
None of these brands were venture targets. They should have been. I’ve seen many people raise financing rounds at $1m valuations that ended up with $150m+ exits
Something similar is going to happen with every sector of the economy. Fine tunes with open source models create a limitless surface space of disruption for virtually every single business function in America
Cognizant and Accenture stocks are smoking ruins but not bc their revenue is off a cliff. Yet. The billings curve is *just starting* to decel. Their destruction is your opportunity
But it’s naive to think it’s just consulting that will get hit.
There is going to be an absolute army of scrappy people making businesses that displace their old employers with fine tuned open source models, blended with closed source driver models. Even at current capability levels this is inevitable. And I do think fable is coming back with will roof it
The other thing people are missing is discoverability network effects. Google was an attention monopoly. You had to play the SEO game. Now - both Anthropic and OpenAI have delightful search products that are explicitly not Google keyword index based
And agents do search in codex for you not through Google and thus - we’ll see many many more ad markets and search modalities which means lower cost for discovery
Next - consider reviews. You could never trust software reviews and the cost of doing a review was insane so most reviews compensated and this untrustworthy. Now ai makes it trivial to create performance benchmarks for everything. LLM ads aren’t going to ruin user experience by suggesting bad products and executives are already working at this fast on the back end
So essentially if you build something sick it will get auto benchmarked and discovered without you needing to pay through the nose for some shitty influencer (myself included) to promote it
As agent marketplaces are built that do this in standardized way, this will only improve
This infra should also result in major margin expansion for existing private label brands which spend huge budgets on advertising and customer acquisition. So not just drop shipping 2.0 will win. 1.0 and Shopify will win too
Traditional businesses can’t and won’t adapt to this
What uber did to taxis Agentic Bootstrappers are going to do to every legacy business
On the investing side - the plurality of capital is managed by humans or passive investors that will get brutally mogged by ai driven processes. Not just in terms of analytics but coordination, data capture and new primitives that simply didn’t exist before (AI Jim Cramer videos will be a thing for every niche)
In crypto it’s arguably even better bc everything is open source. So the speed of improvement of protocols should skyrocket as people simply adopt one another’s best practices for easy wins on latency security and user experience
There’s a guy who just made an altzheimers vaccine at home he’s applying to get licensed. And many other sectors too
The Fable lockdowns suck but they’re not the end. It’s not a dark age. It’s hard but idk about you -if I am going down to the permanent underclass . I’m going down swinging
@zooko those notifications turned on for me too, but for gambling on politics.
if brian actually cared he’d disable this but instead we get a corporate word salad.
