I build startups & AI Agents every day & night, but I'm so jealous of those who build robots & physical automations.
Sharing my 18 robo bookmarks:
1. Your next girlfriend:
2. This is why those electronics from China are so cheap.
If this is possible, then i guess we can automate almost any factory worker, and it's just a matter of time until humans dont have to be occupied by these super boring jobs
3. This one can fold laundry using a neural net. Which means: nobody has hardcoded this bot to do what it does. They just show him how it can be done and he simply learns (like humans)
4. The way this robot runs looks more human than when I do it :D
5. Tesla Optimus robot is progressing super fast. If I was Elon, I'd drop the Car business and bet it all on humanoid robots
6. The robotic surgeries will probably replace human doctors, because robots can be like 1000x more precise for typical operations
7. The next war will be fought using drones & robots instead of humans. Idk if that's good or bad, just stating the fact here
8. This robot can steal cars :D
9. Robots can fix the infrastructure
10. They can cook
11. This robot replaces people working at the gas stations
12. Amazon seems to be on track to soon have more robots than employees.
My wild guess is that there will be an "automation tax" imposed by the governments (similar to the carbon tax). To collect the money for the UBI
13. Hopefully, these robots don't yet have long-term memories and emotions 14.
14. Dyson is growing strawberries with robots.
It's the best and cutest automated farm I've ever seen. It looks so cool that I thought it's AI generated first.
15. Remember we had the Tamagotchi thing?
I think our kids soon will have a real physical thing like that
16. Robots are winning on talent shows
17. Even the bricklayers aren't immune to the automation
18.
Alright, enough, I'll go to sleep now,
For those who're new to my profile, here is what I do:
1/ @EmergentLabsHQ
- purely vibe coding tool (you need zero code skills)
- works best for building micro SaaS for the web
- has its own AI api keys (no need to figure things out)
- I'd say: go for it if you are non-technical with an idea
I'm vibe coding InboxBott:
2/ Claude Code is the best coding agent in the world now.
People build SaaS, mobile apps, and more. It suits coders, non-coders, and both existing or new projects. Elon Musk said, "we entered singularity." for this.
If only someone told me this before my 1st startup:
1. Validate.
I wasted at least 5 years building stuff nobody needed.
2. Kill your EGO.
Make your users happy, not yourself.
3. Don’t chase investors; chase users, and then investors will chase you.
4...
4. Never hire managers. Only hire doers until PMF.
5. Landing page isn't important.
Go for an average template and edit texts, and that’s it.
The sale happens outside of the website anyway (in the early stages).
6. Hire only full-stack devs.
There is nothing less productive in this world than a team of developers.
One full stack dev building the whole product. That’s it.
1/ AI is whatever machines can't do yet (Larry Tesler, 1970)
2/ AI might seem just like the next platform shift, but one may argue it's a new paradigm shift, like the invention of electricity or the discovery of fire.
How I got my first 100 users for each of my 24 startups:
1. Cold emails:
- go for quality, not quantity
send to 20 people; if no reply, change the copy and resend. repeat until 2 replies.
- make it super short and include the outcome E.g. for @listingbott I'd send this "100 backlinks from relevant directories in one click"
2. Social media DMs (Li, X, IG, FB, RD, etc)
- send 15 sec loom with an audit of their biz/site/profile...where the preview makes it obvious it's personalized.
- impress them with your quick effort
- e.g. for @seobotai it'd be: "SEO audit of their website"
