@BedrockRobotics Construction is one of the few sectors of the economy that hasn't increased productivity with tech. We aim to fix that. It's more important than ever to build datacenters, power plants, roads, and hospitals. Autonomy will multiply what we can do here!.

Very excited to share what I've been up to for the past year! At @BedrockRobotics we're building autonomy for heavy equipment, starting with construction. Construction is one of the few sectors of the economy that hasn't scaled productivity with tech. We're fixing that! 🔗 in 🧵.

Awesome work! One of the challenges with this kind of approach is that RL doesn’t really capture the semantic meaning in the world (be polite around peds, you shouldn’t block fire trucks, etc). @EugeneVinitsky have you put thought into any of these issues?.
We've built a simulated driving agent that we trained on 1.6 billion km of driving with no human data. It is SOTA on every planning benchmark we tried. In self-play, it goes 20 years between collisions.

This is absolutely happening.
I talked to the CEO of a moderately big tech co who said they'd replaced Figma with Replit. This surprised me because I don't even think of them as being in the same business. But he said Replit is so good at generating apps that they just to straight to prototype now.

Very cool use of RL and clever gym setup for training a coding agent.

Embodied AI will ultimately shape the world we live in - in ways that seem like science fiction today allowing us to build faster and better, drive safely, and ultimately live better lives.
In robotics circles, there's a consensus: we're on the brink of a productivity boom — driven by the American labor shortage and an unprecedented demand for automation. Yet, over 80% of warehouses lack automation, and there are only 141 robots per 10,000 manufacturing employees.

Love these practical applications of ML and AL that often get drowned out by the current hype in Gen AI.
What if I told you that _today_, for less than the cost of one cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, you could have a 10-day AI-NWP forecast initialized from the GFS(/GDAS) within 10 minutes of the data being posted on NOMADS?

Wow. @Airbnb customer service has gone wayyyy down hill. Midnight: arrived and place has water damage from massive snow storm. Mold, water running from fireplace, fan drying soaked carpet :/. Found a hotel, then call center calls at 3 No resolution. Feels like vzw ca 2005.
