Investing in open source physical AI

This lesson from Art & Fear (1994) still holds: quality emerges from quantity. Whatever tools we use (AI included), more reps with reflection beat chasing a single “perfect” piece.

Just called my kids over to my computer: "Guess how fast my AI model is running on my 5090. How many tokens per second?" They knew. Now, all the kids in their school will know Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Q4_K_M is fast.

The Singularity is here. Baseball Twitter and AI Twitter have become one.
I’m a baseball player. I’ve never written a single line of code in my life. But over the last few months, I used AI to build a pitching analytics platform from scratch. 8.9M pitches. Custom ML models. Total transparency. Here is a look at what happens when you give an

People had the same problem with Drum Machines and Synthesizers. Hip Hop would not exist without Tech.

Gaussian Splats are useless for physics, rigging, or collisions unless you convert them to real geometry. So I built a Blender Geometry Nodes pipeline that generates clean multi-LOD meshes directly from PLY files. Works surprisingly well.

@mrdoob Are you running it locally? I'm experimenting with running minimax 2.5 on my 5090 to do some "slow-but-steady" work. My docker-compose for running minimax-m2.5/minimax-m2.5-Q4_K_M.gguf with llama.cpp: https://t.co/JIVfMwkaPa

Crossed a few milestones on my personal site last month: 2000 research notes (drafted by local AI from my X bookmarks and lightly edited by me) 34,000 unique visitors 3.2 million page views Lots of bots, but I assume that means I am getting indexed https://t.co/bLgwPG6h72

The NYC @openclaw hackathon last night: No flashy demos No trays of fresh lobster Just a room full of VCs and founders quietly figuring out how to automate their repetitive work. Thanks @nihalmehta and @kevinrunsnyc for hosting

My students ask me: “Mike, why do you like open source software so much?” So I ask them back: “Do you know why Doom can run on anything?” “Because it’s MS-DOS” a brave student guesses. “No” I reply. “Because they open sourced it. And now they can never take it away from you.”
Adobe Animate will be discontinued on March 1. The program was used to animate Teen Titans Go!, Smiling Friends, My Little Pony, El Tigre and many more.
