My great-great uncle Meyer Jacobstein https://t.co/32D8v68iwy was a 3-term Congressman from Rochester & opposed the Immigration Act of 1924

Working with @Reddy_XX and Tin as they build @axionlabsinc has been an honor. Their technology will bring dignity and hope to millions of people.

Ivan had a spinal cord injury three years ago that left him quadriplegic.

Last week, he ordered dinner from his favorite restaurant by himself.

This level of control used to need brain surgery. Not anymore.

Introducing Click by @axionlabsinc.

My favorite thing about SPC is when our founders come full circle to support the next generation.

We welcomed @jonnydyer back yesterday to share lessons from building @MuonSpace and how they have grown the scope of their own ambition.

The future is bright!

Scott is amazing.

Very proud to have him as @southpkcommons alumni and to be an investor in Cognition (and LunchClub!)

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

We have the 'bots. No, not those 'bots. Real f'ing Robots. Join us.

[South Park Commons @southpkcommons]

HACK ON ROBOTS AT SPC MAY 15-17!

Build something that moves. Three tracks: manipulation, aerial, & locomotion.

Mobile robots, drones, robotic arms, and 3D printers on site.

Apps due May 12th. Sign up now! 🤖

Job postings for "forward-deployed engineer" have increased 10x in the last year.

We hosted @colintjarvis, @calvinleenyc, @jrshoch, and @howard_zuo at @southpkcommons to discuss what forward-deployed engineering really means and how FDEs are accelerating their deployment cycles.

Video soon!

Today we're launching Scriben.

A pen. Real ink. Leather grip.

The second brain for knowledge workers.

It captures every voice conversation, transcribes, and turns it into memory.

For people who are paid to think — but spend their day trying not to forget.

Day one.

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

I've been very lucky to work with @andrewpannu on Sleuth for the past few years. He's built an extraordinary platform; the most sincere praise I can give is to recommend that every biotech I work with use the product. It has become the go-to decision support tool for everyone who's tried it. Also, Andrew is rad.

[Andrew Pannu @andrewpannu]

We're launching Sleuth today.

The intelligence platform for biopharma's highest-stakes decisions, in use at top companies in the world.

To celebrate, we broke down the Chinese landscape: 18K+ assets & a map of the strategic white space. RT + comment "Sleuth" for access.

sleepwalking inside generative models, independent cancer research, visual hearing aids, and more...

our april demo night @southpkcommons was full of wacky and wild explorations at the frontier. check them out below.

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

Really honored to have my friend @edwardjhu give a technical talk at @southpkcommons yesterday. Edward is wonderfully humble and real, and our members got to hear about his path from inventing LoRA and µtransfer, his PhD with @Yoshua_Bengio, to his current work as a researcher/entrepreneur running his own incubator.

If working on the frontier of AI and hardtech and learning from people like Edward is appealing, apply to South Park Commons

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

@adityaag In addition to the obvious “make me a podcast to drive to work and prep for all my meetings” I built a simulation for how people currently deplane, and how they should, with a better heuristic.

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

LOL

Hm, looks like @Strava

More than 1 million people each week are having conversations about suicide with AI tools.

That level of demand points to a system under real strain and a clear need for infrastructure that can support it responsibly.

Jimini is building clinician-supervised AI for behavioral health, designed to work inside provider organizations. JImini helps care teams stay present between sessions, follow patient progress and extend support in ways that fit into clinical workflows.

Care decisions remain with licensed professionals.

We see this as an important step in scaling behavioral health services while preserving trust and quality of care.

As AI becomes more embedded in healthcare, the teams that earn trust will be the ones that build with clinicians at the center.

Proud to partner with Jimini Health.

March was packed at SPC...

a new model from @LumaLabsAI, a robot debut from @NobleMachines, new tools from @world_lica, @spc_india's 2nd-ever Demo Faire, events with @eladgil, @drfeifei, @stephen_wolfram, @Thom_Wolf, & more.

The world needs (vastly) more intelligence; the world needs to use (far) less energy.

To solve this problem, @southpkcommons convened some of the world’s experts on the future of compute for an amazing half-day at Stanford. We heard about novel chemical processes for building the materials we need to advance semiconductors, and physics models for manufacturing these materials at scale. We learned about new chip architectures to exploit these materials, processes for designing and verifying these architectures, and algorithms (probabilistic, quantum, neuromorphic, and neuro-inspired) to exploit them.

None of these breakthroughs work on their own; new algorithms require new silicon (or something better!); the big unlocks occur when the innovation tunnels through the whole stack, and integrated gains can be non-linear. The advances will be entangled.

Similarly, everyone in the room benefited from the intermix of perspectives – chemistry, physics, EE, CS, neurobiology, and math, and teams from academia, startups, and industry. And perhaps the best part of the day was the fantastic constructive interference of all the sidebars.

This is exactly why I love South Park Commons – catalytic conversion is our reason for being, and density is the multiplier.

Huge thanks to Kerem Çamsarı, Tathagata Srimani, Christian Pehle, William Ludington, Ganesh Venkataramanan, Matthias Kling, Thomas Linker, SukHwan Lim, Subhasish Mitra, Andy Mannix, Volkan Gurses, Shridhar Mukund, and Gopal Raman for an amazing day.

[Evan Tana @evantana]

A couple weeks ago @adityaag and I gave a talk at @southpkcommons that sparked a bunch of discussion in our community.

The core tension: The opportunity to build has never been greater. So is the risk of building the wrong thing.

The founders who win won't just build faster, they'll move smarter. Pick problems the Eye can't see.

Full piece out today 👇

Even after 8 months at @southpkcommons I'm amazed at the people who show up to talk...

[Finn Meeks @finn_meeks]

You never know who a member will invite to stop by SPC... which is how @stephen_wolfram ended up holding an impromptu Q&A with the community last week.

We discussed everything from fundamental theory of physic to how the Wolfram products and community helped us through college!

S/o to @willsentance and @yaroslavvb for organizing!

[Mark Jacobstein @mjacobstein]

Such a great interview with @AdamMastroianni
