We design the autonomy algorithm of the pod to be "shy". We love excited kids, but pods prefer to have a little bit of space 😎

Two diametrically opposed worldviews. One that teaches humans to dream, build, strive and create value for others. Another that focuses on envy, “fairness”, govt control, and zero sum games. Feels like America is on a knife edge

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html

New kind of mailbox is rapidly rolling out for businesses. Enables teleportation-like delivery to any home. Drone delivery is now universal 🌎

@Sim89776996 America could learn to build cars again. Google is a 4 trillion dollar company. Learning to manufacture things seems like it would be strategically valuable for Google in a future of AI and robotics.

Wow, I just learned that Waymo's next-gen robotaxi is built on top of a Chinese vehicle platform. Is Google's vision really to build a national autonomous rideshare across the US on top of a Chinese car? This seems insane. Is this common knowledge?

Scaling AVs in US is great. Buying primary vehicle in China seems risky for Google and bad for America. In your example where this scales massively and becomes critical infrastructure for the US, China could shut off supply to the US during a conflict. Can you imagine China ever allowing the reverse?

A new kind of mailbox is born. Now any building can get access to drone delivery in 3 hours, no permitting or construction required. Often partners load through a window in the wall, so they never have to step outside at all
