So excited to have @xiaolonw @LerrelPinto and the team here with us!
Excited to share that Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) has joined @Meta to help build the future of humanoid intelligence! When we started ARI one year ago, our mission was clear: achieve physical AGI. Through deep customer engagements and real-world deployments, it became clear to us that serving the massive opportunity ahead requires training a truly general-purpose physical agent. We believe this agent will be humanoid — and that scaling will come from learning directly from human experience, not teleoperation alone. Meta’s ecosystem brings together the key components needed to make this vision possible. We will be joining Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) to help bring personal superintelligence into the physical world. We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant minds, robotics researchers, engineers, partners, and supporters who have worked with us on this journey. Thank you to our investors and angels, led by @aixventureshq , for believing in our mission. This is just the beginning.

Wise words from a super committed entrepreneur and an excellent leader.
In 2021, we sold our company to Unity for $320M. I faced a choice to either “rest and vest” or invest in the experience post sale. I think more founders should invest, and I’m starting to share why. Thread 🧵

We are on a mission to make our communities safer and more accessible and to just make our rider's lives a little easier. I'm looking forward to working with -- and learning beside -- our friends at @Uber as we look to delight riders starting next year.

When I was running most of Xbox: Whether it was employees in the cafeteria, gamers waiting for a launch, or just passers by, I was always quickly passed by so that they could meet the real celebrity! A loss and end of an era for Xbox. Best to you Larry!
After 20 incredible years, I have decided to take a step back and work on the next chapter of my career. As I take a moment and think about all we have done together, I want to thank the millions of gamers around the world who have included me as part of their lives. (1/3)

Ultimately, every system in every game will be touched by AI technology both at create and at run-time - out focus will be giving creators the access -- and control -- to make it work well for their needs. Let's imagine more. #ai #unity #unity3d
Imagine more with Unity AI 🔮 Introducing: ⭐ #UnityMuse, a platform of AI capabilities for content creation, with Muse Chat for AI-based search now in closed beta ⭐ #UnitySentis for AI-powered experiences at Unity runtime, now in closed beta Learn more: on.unity.com/3NKrhFT

Sebastian dropping knowledge like usual! Great thread.
Let's talk about some of the recent improvements to Unity! I'm not talking about the big, flashy things you already know about but the small changes we were able to sneak into the changelog. I'll look at 2023.1 beta stuff but most of it also backported as far back as possible :)

#Unity 22.2 just got released and so many new good things for #HDRP users! Here is a little thread to quickly present each improvement. 1/ DX12 is out of preview (the template is using it as default), and on some recent GPUs it can come with a boost -check on a build with IL2CPP

wonderful!!
1/ Today is a new and exciting day for me, @SlackHQ and @salesforce. I am proud to be named Slack's new CEO, accepting the baton from the thoughtful and innovative found @stewart. In true Slack fashion, here's a 🧵on my thoughts.
It was a little fuzzy then, you had to look past our confusing cert requirements (sorry) and our system implementation. I'll never forget the Brad Dash/Heidi Dash split! It was made alot better soon after with our friends at @Bungie showing us how it should work with Halo 2 :-)
A very happy birthday to my favorite gaming network of all time. @xbox Live first launched November 15, 2002, one year after the console launch. To the amazing people who dreamed it, built it, operated it from that moment to today -- thank you! #xboxlive #xbox #gaming
