Zappos was beating Amazon on cost per order. Amazon couldn't figure out how. Turns out Alfred Lin's team was running Kiva robots before Amazon even believed they'd work. Amazon later bought Kiva for $775M. Alfred went from operating automation at Zappos to funding the next wave at Sequoia. This conversation covers both lenses. Deployed EP2 with Alfred Lin is live. Link in the comments.

We promised our children a better life, not a life of hard labor. Prime-age Americans are squeezed at near-record work rates, and no wave of labor is coming. Manufacturing faces 1.9M unfilled jobs by 2033. My vision for the next four years. Press play.

My investor Bilal Zuberi // Red Glass Ventures told me something that still sits with me: "I'm not judging your smartness. You passed that bar long ago. What I'm looking at is whether you're prepared for what's coming at you." Then: "I don't know what's coming. And you don't know either." That's the real filter in deep tech. Not brilliance. Preparedness for the unknown. Full conversation on Deployed Ep 3 Live Today.

"Does OpenAI go to zero the way Netscape did?" Ross Fubini asked me this. We both interviewed at Netscape the same day in '95. His answer: "The “homepage” for AI hasn't shown up yet." Deployed EP4 is live. Link in comments.

The hardest founder decisions are the 50/50s, and there's no one above you to break the tie. Mike McCue on saving Tellme: “we are a cloud business. we cannot be both.” walk the team to first principles, then have the courage to hold them. Deployed EP11 is live

Our cobot, Proxie, now self-identifies work, tells you what it’s going to do, and completes the work autonomously… thousands of times a day, with 100% completion. Listen to the update to hear more.

The best case for wheels I've heard came from the guy who has taught legged locomotion at MIT for 20 years. AMR safety cases assume you slow proportional to distance and come to rest. A balancing biped may need to take steps to stop. The safety zone explodes and the robot ends up behind a fence. A robot behind a fence isn't deployed. Deployed EP12 is live:

Deployed Episode 2 is live. Watch it now Alfred Lin's father was destined to be a farmer. The abacus got him a job at a bank. Then calculators replaced the abacus. Then computers replaced calculators. He learned each one. Eventually he ran the bank. That's how Alfred Lin thinks about Physical AI. Deployed EP2 drops tomorrow.
