Are you building a full stack integrated business
Or products span the fullstack
That's not the way we're talking about it
we're talking about selling it individually
we're building these things
we're mentally pulling these things apart and productizing components
coming through from both of us
We maek and do what the user is interacting with
Just more cheaply, efficiently
Because we're optimizing lower levels of the stack
which enables me to do what?
Why would I run it on your infrastructures vs ours?
The piece that is missing?
Does it need to be across the whole stack?
Do we see these subcomponents as individual products?
Does the hardware in our heads only exists to serve the rest?
Whoever we think our end user is
"Ok you are building Ironman"
Solve the majority problem in your head
That game where someone draws the legs, heads, then you build a shitty end product.
99% of things go wrong bc people do this.
They solve the whole thing then they implement the whole thing
Building lego modules, picture of the whole person in your head.
I'm going to choose to just build the torse, leave attachment points at each shoulder
Leave the attchmt at the hips for legs.
But i dont have to build the arm now, just build the torso.
but you just build the torso.
Knowing the robotic based human augmentation system
Solve sub pieces of this problem, and do it in a sustainable way
you can't build it to the end, you have to prove out some traction
that's very clearly mapping onto this
What are the things that need to be true, to build this exoskeleton?
do we want to build the hardware? if so why?
lemi robotics: helped them put together an angel round
the rackstations, dont include it in our pitch.
its the double click in our pitch, not the top level.
We are albe to do A, B and C.
bc we're geniuses, we've spun up this thing to save our costs.
if someone else gave it to us at the same cost, then we'd take up that offer
what pieces of us do we want to own long term?
What is the torso?
How do we convert the torso into something that we monetize in teh interim?
What do the milestones look like?
if the hardware is a shoe to be swapped out later
is this a means to the end for something we wanna do later
everything is raised to equal footing
you can do theese things, if existing in service of others
but cannot continue to do them all on equal footing
Neocortex
Cortical stack
start being a efficient highly efficient, highly software layer for some robotics companies
why not be the software company for them?
be a layer that gives them the customized training data that they want
get a foot in...
Be the intelligence layer on a robotics exoskeleton
Why not do it now?
send a blurb to rohan...

ppl are bad at open ended ness
problem statements that get easier
local ai could mean differetn things
target wants to get on ai... what does that mean?

Who offers a training service where you can download the fucking model?
Grassroots not "hobbyists"
figure out the branding for a more natural on ramp
so when a cto does look us up.
not just justify us
but look like we are worth paying for
companies want to pay
look like something yhou pay for
not something you get for free
show it to a business hat
wow that looks professional
how much does ti cost
i want to negotiate them down
use the first ones as marketing
make them feel guilty they are getting it for free
get value that's not money
a brand narrative that keeps our doors open
enterprise people assume they should pay for it
they think they should be paying for it
if you dont write narrative
other people will write it for you
you dont want it to be strictly hobbiests
do a few small things to make the door open later

THey'll see a header
why can't i do this with this other company?
yeah but i can already do that with this other thing
