I offer the cheapest compute in the world at half price, if you pay three years in advance. This will give Nepal triple digit growth rates for a few years. China did 13% peak, one year. @chamath Raising 10M. Pitch in. Come in at 1M. This is a Solara. https://t.co/EOVYr5utRn

So @DarioAmodei 500M now, for 1B worth of compute in three years? The demand is bottomless. You know that. 👆👆🌞

I scaled my first company to 70 people in one year.

I thought that was success.

Now I realize: that was the old game. The new game is as few humans as possible, as many AI agents as you can coordinate.

My first startup hit PMF during the pandemic. A16Z funded us. We had 70…

I love hearing this

We spend an enormous amount of time on the robot’s industrial design. Every new robot starts on a clean sheet of paper. We begin with a two-week sketch blitz, putting ideas on paper and exploring hundreds of concepts before moving into concept engineering https://t.co/cvWoobBgP1

In 2012 I started my business while I was homeless, sleeping in my truck and on friends couches, working 3am-11am at a factory and 9pm-1am as a bouncer.
