How do you build the most diverse UMI dataset in robotics?
In the last 8 weeks, we scaled an international UMI data collection operation from 5 to 90 operators, built out a dataset of over 1M+ unique tasks, and continue to capture over 45k+ new tasks each day.
Robotic World Models require much higher diversity of tasks than imitation learning. Here's the why and how behind our operations. 🧵

We (@PantheonInc) have been working on a robotics data quality pipeline that uncovered a series of major problems in public robotics datasets, especially for world modeling.
To improve the quality of data available to open-source robotics, we're publishing annotations for four of the most popular datasets. Some examples of issues, and our report 🧵

AI is making marketers lazy.
So we made the website do the work instead. Today, we're launching @ployai: the all-in-one marketing platform that turns your website into your hardest working employee.
And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and @firstround.
I spent 12 years at Webflow as the founding CTO where I built the product, but also started our marketing and sales teams that drove our fastest periods of growth. That experience made one thing obvious: the website is the center of your business. And it's only more important in the age of AI.
Foundation model apps can generate assets.
Point solutions can optimize pieces of the funnel.
But nothing runs the whole growth system: your site, brand, CMS, CRM, campaigns, analytics, SEO, AEO, and customer data all working together.
Until now.
Teams at @hex_tech and @clay_run, and growth agencies like Tonik and TNT Growth, are already powering sites on Ploy. Hex is generating on-brand ABM pages at scale, Clay is using its data to power a programmatic SEO engine, and TNT Growth is spinning up a landing page for each of their clients’ ads.
Wake up every morning with a report from Ploy - with what it did, and what it wants to do next.
Approve it. Ship it.
Or be lazy and just watch it cook.

made a business investment today. feeling scared, excited, wrestling with doubt. i don't want to have to add another "failed" venture to my already long list of failed ventures.
but i know this is the time to take risks - no one depends on me yet. a couple grand means nothing over the 50+ years of business ahead

Pitch comp done last night. Made our deck, UI, website, and practiced our pitch all within the last week and a half and we killed it.
Don’t know the results for two weeks but proud of the team regardless. Most of the team were non-technical consulting/finance kids so ended up in me stepping up, designing the UI, and building the site. Crazy how fast AI speeds up the process.

awesome map by @erik_stiebel
anyone know of a hard tech map for sf?
You've probably seen some SoCal Hard Tech maps floating around this week. And you might have noticed they don't look quite right.
Still a work in progress, but here’s a better overview.
Btw, my updated map (without my bad handwriting) will be released in December's Space Dirt 🚀. Sign up using the link in my bio.
