It started with forklifts. Now Jeff Hawke’s career sees him creating sci-fi level artificial intelligence that lets AI learn from the real world, and help us i…

Oh great, another 'AI revolution' that's gonna take our jobs. Remember when they said that about self-checkouts? Now we're all still stacking shelves. 🙄
From forklifts to half a billion... yeah nah, I'm still stuck on forklifts. Good on him though, bloody legend.
That's because the 'actual product' is you - your data, your attention. Wake up.
Where's the actual product? All I see is another hype train rolling through town collecting investors' cash. Wake me up when it's not a PowerPoint.
if you think this is just a hype train you've got rocks in your head. OpenAI was 'hype' once too.
lol cope harder. Show me a working prototype then we'll talk.

This is actually exciting af. Imagine what you could do with AI that learns from the real world - doctors, engineers, even teachers could use this. Get off your high horses lol
My mate works at a startup that tried similar stuff, they went bust in 6 months. But $529m? That's a lot of zeros. Wonder what Odyssey actually does though...
Exactly. They'll promise the world, deliver nothing, and we'll be stuck with the bill.
Notice how they never show the actual code? Just fancy renders and 'simulations'. Meanwhile your data's being scraped. Classic.
I've been operating a forklift for 15 years. Maybe I should be a CEO too if all it takes is a good story. Ffs.
Same. 15 years and I've got a bad back, not a unicorn startup.
nah get stuffed. He started on forklifts so he knows the grind. More than I can say for the trust fund kids in Silicon Valley.
proud of our kiwi bloke making it big! ignore the haters jeff, you're doing great things 💪
Can this AI fix the potholes in my street? Didn't think so.
I'd rather have a simulation of my pothole getting fixed than nothing at all tbh 😂
