Positive users agree the builder's unique AI robotics approach rejecting Silicon Valley methods is the correct path forward while negative users dismiss the claims as insincere or fraudulent.
@yacineMTB @jsuarez
The way I'm doing AI robotics is completely and totally different from all the super funded silicon valley companies. The reason I'm doing it differently is because they're all wrong

@cowboykaizen mujoco playground

@_cherki82_ they're training redditors, i'm training predators
The fact that robotics isn't unilaterally solved is just an algorithms gap. All of the silicon valley companies doing "robotics" right now with their data collection meme are on the wrong path entirely.
It's surprising that robotics isn't really, actually solved. It's not hard

@yacineMTB Brother LLMs are still neural networks. U can train a small qwen to solve cartpole. U might be looking at this wrong. Lmk if u wanna chat

@yacineMTB I agree, the correct way to actually make robots that are alive.

@yacineMTB @agenticmachine @khoslaventures It’s because you don’t have anything actually built. You’re a larper farming X engagement

@yacineMTB the software/intelligence stack is where all the problems lie not in the fucking actuator/hardware stacks but that’s just my take 🤷♂️

@yacineMTB do u have an intro guide? i want to learn

@agenticmachine @khoslaventures i don't know if i want to raise. idk. maybe give me your contact or something idk though i'm not that sure about it like. maybe i just don't

@yacineMTB @khoslaventures fund him plz

Speculation: Super-funded SV robotics cos chase generalist humanoids via massive end-to-end models and imitation learning. This path is likely "wrong" per the poster because it ignores robotics realities—extreme sample inefficiency, sim-to-real gaps, costly/slow hardware iteration, and weak physics inductive biases that scaling alone doesn't fix.
The alternative: zero-funding focus on simple cheap DIY hardware + RL (plus fast sims like MuJoCo Warp) for rapid real-world interaction and fundamentals-first learning. Hacker agility over big-tech bloat. Time will test if lean iteration beats the moonshots.

@yacineMTB How are you different?

@willreil @yacineMTB Found the problem.

@yacineMTB @grok speculate on this

@raulizahi honestly probably yeah

@yacineMTB Yacine with the zing!

@yacineMTB Good narrative to have for an entrepreneur, even if it’s not 100% true.

@yacineMTB I absolutely agree with you 100% that they're doing it wrong. I don't know what you're doing, but if it's anything like what I'm planning? I'm positive you're right.
Keep going. You got this. Some of the best inventors started underfunded.
Everything will fall into place.

@yacineMTB Same. Agree.
