5 undergrads, no lab, no supervision, and 1 year of "figuring it out" later, we're hyped to present - "Chronocept".
It's the world's first benchmark to instill a sense of time in machines.
This our lives' best work, and we hope to say this about everything we do hereinafter.
Woke up (12PM, 😅) to the neighbours’ house on fire because of an AC blast due to the Delhi heat, and there’s a rainstorm now (4PM)?? Climate change is so real.
Now comes Anxiety 2.0 - the stuff LB doesn’t know about. I’ve started moving most of my conversations to text so LB has a record.
Next I want to get a pair of smart glasses that transcribe everything irl and stream it to LB.
Semantic search over life fr.
I’ve had a compulsive habit of taking notes (ask anyone who’s been in a discussion with me) - meetings, making summaries when reading books, in class, everywhere.
I almost never refer to these notes again, it’s obsessive - to the point of paralysis: I find it hard to do things without a notebook and start putting it off the work.
I just realised I haven’t opened my daily notebook in 2 whole days - because @LittlebirdAI’s been so good with to-dos, planning my day and recording all the meetings. Feels weirdly relaxing.
TIL: No good wearable adapts your alarm (within a reasonable window) to increase the odds of being woken up during light sleep (instead of REM or deep sleep), to avoid grogginess. Very low hanging fruit for @WHOOP@ouraring and Apple Watch imo.
@StartupArchive_ Love this. It's been so hard to me to explain insights as a moat because that implies no one else can reach the same conclusion. Moat as a noun is usually generic stuff like "great team", "shipping fast" or "high quality" - all of which sound unsexy.
Best of luck to @SNJYGL and @goatgoel 🫡
They're aggressively hiring for 3D designers and fashion curators with a taste for Gen-Z + Gen-Alpha.
Do reach out to them, the cool new cafe office comes soon too! God bless.
When Roblox meets digital fashion & AI, you get “Zara for the Virtual World.”
At 19, @goatgoel has sold 2.5M+ virtual fashion items through Meta Fashion at 92% gross margins.
Excited to lead Meta Fashion’s $400K pre-seed round.

I feel disconnected and old saying this but I met a lot of our younger cousins (<14yo) at a family wedding last month and almost all of their screen time was spent on @Roblox.
Sounds dystopian but it goes beyond playing games - they've built "digital-native" lives with real friends, social capital and spending patterns.
+ None of them were active on Instagram, X or Snap (pleasantly surprising smh).
Thinking along this attention shift, a future where major commerce runs through these platforms sounds pretty natural.
Fashion makes for a great entry point into this potential next era, something that dad and @goatgoel have chosen to call "Phygital Commerce".
They're pretty early and there's lots to build, but very excited about them building in this space.
I wonder if this tweet is associated with https://t.co/vb1eMOrJx8 🤔
The next generation of creator-led commerce, fashion, and AI is here.
Roblox now sees 150M daily active users and paid out $1.5B+ to creators last year.
We believe the internet’s next iconic brands and digital IP will emerge from virtual worlds.
More soon.

From my friends in corporate, this adoption is coupled with weird ass metrics/regulations - leaderboards for who burned the most tokens, extremely limited queries, no access to SOTA models but mostly (now) garbage like Llama 3 or Claude 3.5 🥱; and the codebases aren’t made agent friendly.
ADHD isn’t always hyperactivity. Sometimes it’s sitting in the same spot for 3 hours, thinking of 97 things to do, and doing none. Then hating yourself for it. Then dissociating. Then apologizing. Then repeating. It’s not laziness. It’s invisible burnout.
