Strategy positions

Accelerationendorses

Build faster; delay costs more than capability

Argues end-to-end neural network policies for humanoids, not classical pipelines, are the path to general-purpose physical AI; capability progress will follow the same scaling pattern as language models.

Humanoid robots running large neural network policies are the embodied analogue of GPT-style language models. The same scaling laws that produced reasoning in language are starting to produce skill acquisition in physical action.
