Yes, but it is 100% in their own best self-interest to get it right.

These are vertical, large-volume physical problems that don't lie in time/cost performance.

Great comment, I'm working on my own Hermes/Mac Mini & the amount of sec ops/setting up its arms is a good challenge as a non-technical.

Building the iPhone-platform equivalent of this would be interesting.

This is a fair take. However, when it comes to warehouse automation/logistics, I constantly see what they're adopting in their hardware stack.

They're a good data point on where the robotics labor frontier is.

For a non-Go player, do you think this trend will persist, or is it more of a dead-cat/human bounce?

Silicon Valley bats for 0-to-1 startups. If you swap "Revenue" for "Risk," that is culturally the same. People who don't have a "1" full-risk-on mode by default self-select themselves out of this game.

A toy model game is poker. If opponents know you'll never call an all-in/go all-in, they will always outplay you on the river.

And so, let the market pump funny numbers, and matriculate the lucky survivors.

An interesting Asian counterpart is the Japanese death haiku.

Life is an ever-rolling wheel

And every day is the right one.

Individual games.

The ones that specifically come to mind are Lazavik vs. Carlsen, Speed Chess Championship 2025 Semi-Final, Round 3, and Sindarov vs. Carlsen, Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals 2025 in South Africa, Round 1 of the Group Stage Finals.

It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus.

Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental edge that Magnus comes into each game after beating the brakes out of everyone is hard to overcome.

Magnus' time will come! But not today.

+1 here.

The last time I checked, they're custom (read: expensive) and require building out your own backend video storage.

Great points. Good founders are on both sides of selling and building. If you don't believe in sellers, you've never worked with good ones.

I was seven years old, and T2 was the first rated R film I saw which gave me horrific apocalyptic nightmares (see: Sarah's dream).

Completely worth it.
