@malachimaxeyusa Bro just created free energy

@_sam_sinha_ @BerntBornich @1x_tech This is huge news. Congrats on the new position! We’re scaling stereocam and mocap from 1000+ factories and commercial environments. Will DM you soon 👍

Starship may end up being the last truly gigantic engineering marvel built entirely by human hands and 20-watt biological meat computers before AI fundamentally transforms how civilization designs and builds everything

Heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 : Broadway dancer Rhamell Burke, 32, shoved a 76-year-old retired teacher down NYC subway stairs, killing him.

[Calvin @hellopupz]

bottom line : the focus is now on egocentric data and https://t.co/hTAF02Uj3o is focused on scaling.
Great talk @DrJimFan

[Jim Fan @DrJimFan]

I promise this will be the best 20 min you spend today! Robotics: Endgame, the sequel to my last year's Sequoia AI Ascent talk, "Physical Turing Test". I laid out the roadmap for solving Physical AGI as a simple parallel to the LLM success story. Be a good scientist, copy homework ;)

And stay till the end, more easter eggs and predictions for your polymarket!

00:30 DGX-1 origin story at OpenAI, I was there in 2016 signing with Jensen and Elon. Heading to the Computer History Museum!
01:42 The Great Parallel
03:31 Robotics, the Endgame
03:39 Why VLAs fall short
04:32 Video world models as the 2nd pretraining paradigm
06:09 World Action Models (WAM)
07:46 Strategies for robot data collection and the FSD equivalent to physical data flywheel for robot manipulation
11:06 EgoScale and the Dexterity Scaling Law we discovered recently
14:00 Physical RL: bridging the last mile
15:39 DreamDojo: an end-to-end neural physics engine for scaling RL in silico
17:00 Civilizational Technology Tree and my predictions for the near future. Spoiler: it's closer than you think.

Thanks to my friends at Sequoia for inviting me back to AI Ascent this year! I had a blast! Last year's talk is attached in the thread if you missed it.

@DoctorPerin @cremieuxrecueil of course someone at the bottom of the this chart is trying to discredit it

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@ylanrich Very cool ! no plastics or rancid seed oils, please!

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@ylanrich Very cool to see. No plastics or rancid seed oils, please!

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@YorkYang5050 Great write-up York, I've got a scaled industrial egocentric diverse dataset solution that I think you may be interested in. Sending you a DM.

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@Nero just cuz you're attracted to him milo, doesn't mean she is.

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@cixliv Remote control

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@wwd7086 That’s how it’s done ✅

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@zhaolebor real cool stuff alan! dm'd you.

[Sourish Jasti @SourishJasti]

1/ General-purpose robotics is the rare technological frontier where the US / China started at roughly the same time and there's no clear winner yet.

To better understand the landscape, @zoeytang_1007, @intelchentwo, @vishnuman0 and I spent the last ~8 weeks creating a deep dive on humanoid robotics hardware and flew to China to see the supply chain firsthand.

Here's everything we've created + our takeaways about the components, humanoid comparisons, supply chains, and geopolitics👇

[Calvin @hellopupz]

Seeing their work in person was next level. @NobleMachines and @wwd7086 are must follows for robotics advancement.

That's a wrap on #NVIDIAGTC. 4 booths, 3 robots, 2 live demos, hundreds of 1:1 conversations — and Moby is all in.

This is just the beginning.

DM us or sign up at https://t.co/7UeW3qLVZf to schedule a VIP Assessment with CEO Wei Ding— a 90-minute working session to discuss your application requirements, walk through your operations, and assess the value of a general-purpose robot solution.

@alpaysh Full ride to Texas Institute of Technology and Science.

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@kylehkhsu that motion smoothness is insane, did you guys train this with real human multicam or teleop?

[Calvin @hellopupz]

@aelluswamy @Tesla_AI @xai We're scaling real human ego/exocentric and multi-cam video to supercharge your world model. 100K++➡️ MILLIONS of hours. All real human interactions, no staging. ping me [email protected] @elonmusk

[Calvin @hellopupz]

Laundry folding seems simple... until you try teaching a humanoid robot to do it without dropping everything or creasing like crazy. That's why the robotics world is

-obsessed right now: real human egocentric video of tasks like this is exploding as the go-to for pretraining world models and dexterity policies.

Figure, 1X, Skild—they're all chasing that natural hand-object magic from authentic first-person captures, not just sim or teleop scraps. Internet clips? Too noisy. Teleop data? Too slow/expensive to scale. The fix?

High-quality, ethical on-site egocentric footage from actual jobs—capturing failures, tool use, messy real environments in hospitality, manufacturing, etc. At Dexima, we're filming exactly those workflows: synced ego + exo views, tailored tasks, clean metadata/privacy, across 1,000+ sites. Stuff that actually transfers to robots. Quick question

for the timeline: What's the one human task you'd kill to have massive, clean egocentric data for right now? Laundry? Precision assembly? Kitchen prep? Drop it below—curious what everyone's battling. DMs open if you're building embodied agents and need real-world video samples that move the needle. https://t.co/jyVuKoy35M #EmbodiedAI #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #WorldModels #Dexterity #Optimus #Atlas #Deepmind #meta #nvidia #gr00t
