Today, @BedrockRobotics emerges from stealth with $80M in funding led by @eclipseventures and @8VC to bring fully autonomous systems to the construction industry. Read more from our CEO @bsofman on the company vision and where we’re headed: bit.ly/4kCAT2x Now, more than ever, America needs to build. Recent investments in reshoring mean we need new factories for domestic manufacturing. We need new data centers and energy solutions to power AI. And we need millions of new housing units to solve our country’s housing crisis. Demand for development has never been higher, but we have a supply problem choking our economic future. More than 500,000 construction jobs sit unfilled as critical projects stall. Bedrock is here to change that. Our Bedrock Operator transforms existing fleets of worksite equipment into fully autonomous machines, enabling builders to meet growing construction demands in the U.S. with greater quality, predictability, and safety. And in just one year, we’ve deployed our technology on test sites in AR, AZ, TX, and CA, with a list of forward-thinking partners, including @Sundt, Zachry Construction, Champion Site Prep, and @CapAgg. And we’ve got so much more to build.

I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles, subscriptions, ad-based, etc., instead of simply pay-as-you-go. As an example, I'd like my computer to auto-pay 5 cents to the article/blog that I just read but I can't, and I think we're worse for it. In a capitalist system, transactions between entities are the gradient signal of the economy. Because our pipes don't support low magnitude terms in the sums, the gradients are not flowing properly through the system. I'm not familiar enough with payments to have an idea of specific solutions, but I expect we'd see a lot of positive 2nd / 3rd order effects if the gradients were allowed to flow properly, frictionlessly and with much higher resolution.

The best selling car in the US and Canada last year, and for the 44 years before it, was the Ford F-150. If your friend groups doesn’t include someone driving a pick up truck, your friend group isn’t a good representation of your product’s users.

There are a number of high-profile, strategic roles open at Scout Motors Inc. across many functions. Joining at the ground floor = huge impact. If you're interested in my take on this company and why these roles are critical, let's talk 🤙 lnkd.in/gV9EEutB

For nearly a decade, our team operated in stealth mode. Now, we’re pulling back the curtain. #adventurousforever youtube.com/watch?v=utyebA0c…

Customer: There’s a dent on the front-ish-side-quarter-half panel, under the second fold. Tesla: Tesla: you can now send us a photo through your Tesla mobile app when scheduling service Customer: cool, I didn’t know that Tesla: blame our social media team
