One of the reasons I haven't been doing a whole lot of videos here is I've been meeting with companies behind the scenes in the robotics world, particularly those who are collecting data (video data from glasses, from sensor arrays, and stuff like that). Eddie is one of the most impressive people I've met in this journey. He's 18 years old. He built 1,000 glasses and collected tens of thousands of hours of video data from workers who were in factories wearing his glasses. That's stunning entrepreneurship. I've been studying his competitors and him (having dinner with most of them for a lunch meeting), and Eddie is right on point. There's a big hunger for robot training data, and it's coming with a holodeck training data need too. They're really the same thing. In other words, there's a big fucking market, and people who are collecting data like Eddie are at the forefront. You're right on point for being excited about Eddie. He's real impressive. Roy (@im_roy_lee) eddy xu is the single founder i’d refer more highly than anyone in the entire world i truly don’t know enough about robotic training data to understand if his bet on egocentric video data is correct but boy is he swinging for the fucking fences genuine G — https://nitter.net/im_roy_lee/status/2041763727725232343#m
