@ReddySuryatej Damn! Did you guys copy name from the show? 🤨

@npew I think people are forgetting where the world is moving. I believe as the world is moving from AI to Physical AI, you'll see more PhD nerds and Researchers as founders than ever before. almost half of the founders in Physical AI space has PhD or even further, they are professors

@saranormous @grok can you explain what Sarah meant here?

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@Stone_Tao is UMI data becoming the new industry standard?

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@Stone_Tao @physical_int based on your experience, how close are we to eliminating the sim2real gap? theoretically, we can never reduce it to zero, but can we reach a point where the improvement in learning per unit of compute offsets the cost of real-world data collection?

You know, you messed up when the OG has to come on X to reason with you.

@Mononofu @JensenHuang This is a false equivalence. Everyone has the right to keep their code private. The problem is when someone tries to stop OTHERS from open sourcing.

@elonmusk @bgurley Why not make Grok open source then 🙂‍↕️

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@agupta It switches to opus and when you come back and you see how it wasted your time while you thought it would be done by now

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@aridutilh You are talented indeed

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@danfei_xu I am still amazed how UMI came almost 2 years ago and how it's gaining popularity right now. is it just another wave because of crazy investment or an actual reasoning behind it?

[Vikram Kumar @vikram_davhfc]

@MaxForAI @yuxin_tang_ Seems like they have achieved it then. That’s why why don’t researchers anymore
