We believe robots are going to reshape the world, making work and businesses that were previously impossible a reality.
Over the last three months, we’ve been working on a robot useful enough to do real work and affordable enough to deploy at scale.

We're powering personalized feeds in the Base app
Jesse Pollak said it yesterday: feeds increase transactions by 5x

i met @iatskar @ permissionless nyc in june. my laptop had just gotten stolen. i was a mess.
for the 2 hours we spoke, i forgot completely about my laptop. i needed a distraction from my stress, and arsenii gave me not only a distraction but a call to action.
i'd always wanted to build something incredible at a startup, something worth building. gondor was definitely worth building
i started working at gondor in august. i met @80proofmilk, my co-engineer and @kotar_rina, our designer.
and now i'm happy to announce that after months of sleeping at 4 am, tearing down our architecture and rebuilding it, grueling testing... @gondorfi is finally live! i've poured a part of myself into every part of the app. i hope you guys like it
(and yes, i got my laptop back! s/o NYPD 24th precinct)

$PNKSTR is the first token where I can root for red on the charts 🤯
NFTStrategy by @Rhynotic @token_works is not just the most exciting thing to happen to NFTs in years—
it’s a masterclass in incentive alignment and a breakthrough in fungible tokens.

We’re launching Nash next week, but I’m too excited to not share this now.
There are new MCPs popping up every day and entire directories just to keep track of them.
I just wanted one MCP that ties all my apps, files, and APIs together.
So we built Nash (@nash_app). It has no constraints and can access any API, app, file, etc. It’s awesome.
Check out the demo video below. DM or reply for the download link.

spent more time using “SocialFi” apps in the past few weeks than i want to admit
wrote about it all — what they are, what works well, and what needs more work
what apps did we miss? what should be on our radar? and do you feel bullish or bearish after reading this? :)
1/ SocialFi is seemingly back – this time with better apps, better incentives, and (hopefully) better staying power.
From social trading to onchain content, apps like @tribedotrun, @yapsterxyz, and @AbstractChain are pushing the space forward.
Let's unpack today's blog post 👇

Today, I’m excited to introduce our new website for @sievedata. Yes, its new and shiny but more importantly it articulates the value we’ve spent the last few years defining and redefining multiple times over.
When I started the company, we were building tools to help test and evaluate computer vision models. How we got so deep in on video is really a story of spending about two years wandering through a desert of user problems until we landed on what we’ve believe to be a generational infrastructure opportunity that will impact some of most consequential industries on the planet including social, communications, media, robotics, and VR.
Video conferencing and short-form social were some of the big breakout applications of video over the last few years. Now we’re seeing a whole new set of creative tooling and the scaling of generative models, which is beginning to impact industries at the bleeding edge of AI including robotics, augmented reality, and large scale industrial automation.
By building the developer platform to understand, manipulate, and generate video, we will accelerate the applications of video across all of these industries.
Our new landing page was designed to communicate these ideas. Today, Sieve powers some of the world’s leading creative tools, social platforms, media companies, and AI model labs. If you fall into any of these categories, give our landing page a quick skim and reach out to us. We’d be happy to see how we can help.
2025, here we come 😉

Executive Order: Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology

It is therefore the policy of my Administration to support the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy.”

This is why we built @anondotworld communities. Working on setting this up.
I would support there being an anoncast-like gadget for ETH holders, something where if you ZKP that you hold N ETH then you can post once every (120 million / N) seconds. Make a twitter account, @eth_holders, and set it up with a bot that follows those rules.
That way we avoid social media loudness distortion, but we get an actual public voice that represents the ETH holder community, and we get to use our own tech.
Hopefully @farcaster_xyz and/or @LensProtocol can set up smart-contract-friendly logic so that the whole mechanism can happen trustlessly on their platforms without any intermediary.
Everyone wins.
