its over for image/video gen , if you are not impressed with this wait for two image gen output that will look that it was shot on camera but purely coded

never thought ai will get replaced by ai

@DhravyaShah @supermemory great stuff

This is the capital of robotics! 🌁

Silicon Valley is home to so many physical AI companies that you could spend a month visiting them and still not see even 10% of them (trust me, I tried).

So, the Bay Area is the world's leading ecosystem for robotics startups, bringing together top AI talent, top universities, experienced founders, and unmatched access to capital.

The region is anchored by Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, two of the world's top universities for AI and robotics. They produce a constant stream of researchers, founders, and breakthrough technologies.

The Bay Area is also home to many of the companies shaping the future of robotics and AI, including @Figure_robot, @physical_int, @GeneralistAI, and major AI labs such as @OpenAI, or @GoogleDeepMind.

This concentration of talent makes it easy for startups to recruit experienced engineers and collaborate with leaders in embodied AI.

Not mentioning that it  is also home to leaders such as @NVIDIARobotics, whose headquarters and leadership in AI chips power much of today's robotics revolution, and Tesla, whose work on autonomous driving and humanoid robots has created a deep pool of robotics, AI, and manufacturing talent.

Perhaps its biggest advantage is access to capital, talent and ambition.

The Bay Area has the world's deepest network of venture capital firms, serial entrepreneurs, and technical leaders who are willing to fund bold, long-term robotics companies.

In the comments I'll post the companies from the ecosystem.

‼️ Note that Bay Area has >300 robotics companies, research labs, and innovation hubs, so this is a curated selection of the notable product companies, not an exhaustive census!

P.S. I'm constantly working on improving these maps, so if your company is missing, please DM me with basic info about the co, and I will include it in the next release.

P.S.2 I have last open slots for my December RoboTour in the Bay Area, if you want to create content together and show the world what are you cooking, dm! :)

@jobescape_ai Always great to see people/orgs further user education. Ty for sharing!

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@coryalthoff Opportunity/needs to be filled will always exist and by extension people providing value will reap $. just because you can't see tomorrow doesn't mean it'll be the end of our capitalist western world. Misleading

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@sophiadew Cool! I'll def need to try this lol

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@petergyang time = $!

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@creativelyange It's almost off putting the first few times. So many familiar yet unfamiliar people all congregated. Always fun to chat with peers

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@quxiaoyin not trying to sell anything of course

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@quxiaoyin Would be cool to connect over this!

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@forgebitz True. The problems of the laypeople are not as articulately detailed

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@forgebitz yes, yes she is

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@agazdecki 100%

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@emilkowalski Very true

[John Hoffmann @johnjhoffmann]

@FazlBarez interesting insight here. thanks for the share
