@openmind_agi @nvidia best content team in robotics and it aint close

I always tell people that Starcraft BW and SC2 taught me a ton about startups.

You have to optimize build order, unit production, incomplete information + scouting. High actions per minute and real-time pivots.

It's worth putting your rank on your resume--I consider it a high accomplishment... unless you play Protoss.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

Just another day in SF

[OpenMind @openmind_agi]

With such a beautiful day in San Francisco we took our robot dog, Olly, out for a walk.

He quickly became friends with Elon Dog and a couple others at South Park!

The most +EV thing to do for a company's social media page on April Fools Day is to actually not tweet a thing.

@openmind_agi that crowd was huge!

[OpenMind @openmind_agi]

OpenMind wrapped up GTC on the NVIDIA Stage, showcasing our fully autonomous robots in action.

We demonstrated what OM1 can do in completely new environments, navigating seamlessly through dynamic, crowded spaces.

Attendees experienced firsthand how our specialized AI models power movement and enable real, social interaction with robots.

Day 2 at @NVIDIA GTC 2026

Spent the day connecting with our App Store partners: @AGIBOTofficial, @LimX_Dynamics, @boosterobotics, and @UnitreeRobotics, all working toward one goal, getting robots into homes and businesses faster.

Grateful for the growing media attention helping amplify the future of open-source robotics.

Day 1 of NVIDIA GTC 2026 Recap

Thousands of attendees interacted with our robot fleet, powered by OM1 and NVIDIA Thor.

Our AI software is bringing robots to life, and we're excited to show more @NVIDIARobotics features tomorrow.

NVIDIA GTC is perhaps the highest quality conference experience in the world.

[signüll @signulll]

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.
