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.
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.
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?!
Waymo UK is now hiring Research Scientists, ML Engineers, and Software Engineers! Come join us in Oxford to invent the next generation of imitation learning algorithms and build realistic simulated agents!

The Opportunity Fund. $100M fund focused on founders and entrepreneurs of color. Excited to work on this meaningful mission with @marceloclaure@sbp04@SoftBank_Group
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
Save the date! Our Head of Research Drago Anguelov will host a Reddit AMA this Thursday, April 16 at 11am PDT. Here’s your opportunity to ask him anything about the Waymo Open Dataset and Challenges we’ve recently released. See you there! https://t.co/3cmH8I1CzR
