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... ----------------- # Prev Call 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? every month if your employees are using chatgpt, then your calls are going to sam altman Your AI Your IP 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 Your AI Your Data Your IP 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
