[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

Today I'm excited to introduce Hark, a new artificial intelligence lab building the most advanced, personal intelligence in the world

We've been in stealth for 8 months, assembling one of the greatest AI and hardware teams on the planet

I want to explain why I started Hark and what we're focused on

I've spent the last 3 years working on the hardest AI challenge imaginable: giving AI a humanoid body. On the digital side, I've been using all the existing LLM chatbots - and I have to say, they feel incredibly dumb to me

AGI, in the limit, should feel like a sci-fi movie. It should be able to listen and talk. It should have persistent memory and be highly personalized. It should see and touch the world. But we're far from this today

We are crafting a new interface to AGI. Intelligence that lets you offload your mental workload into a system that begins to think like you and sometimes ahead of you

We started Hark with one goal: build the world's most advanced personal intelligence - paired with next-generation hardware designed to serve as a universal interface between humans and machines

Important milestone not only for @Waymo but for the entire industry as we build the first-ever redundant, L4 truck platform. Stay tuned for a closer look under the hood of one of these @DaimlerTrucksNA trucks coming up soon.

Looking forward to meet old and new friends ahead :-)

Exciting announcement for my first tweet: We’re starting up an engineering presence in the great city of #Pittsburgh and looking forward to expanding our talented team.

[Waymo @Waymo]

Top academic institutions. Strong engineering talent. World-class robotics experts. 🎓⚙️🤖

Pittsburgh has all of these and more, and it’s why we're excited to announce that we’re hiring for our newest location in the City of Bridges. See our new roles: https://t.co/U95ssAFdXb

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!

Check out @shimon8282 at MIT this Wednesday!

I'm looking to speaking "at" MIT on Wednesday.

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

Wow.

I'm cringing at the data "visualization" and @EdwardTufte likely is as well.

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

In 2009, the “Google Self-Driving Car Project” was challenged to drive autonomously along 10 tough routes. One year later, they succeeded—and now you can see how their journeys happened. Hop in and take a spin through X graduate @Waymo's archive footage: https://t.co/Lovp4Wso4u
