Was so dope to chat @VoriHQ on @tbpn. Vori is the self-driving operating system for supermarkets. Walmart just spent $1B modernizing their digital shelf labels across every single item across every one of their 4,600 stores. At Vori, we’re doing that for all of our customers, bringing Walmart and Amazon-level technology to 75% of the $1.5T food and beverage retail market. Because when grocery stores survive, the entire block thrives. And consumers get freedom of choice - not a future where two companies control every aisle in America. We're increasing the GDP of main street.

💿NEW for @vorihq AI video gen is getting quite good... But the best way to get precise control over every frame is still to control every single frame So for @afterimage’s latest, we built miniature sets and filmed everything in stop motion

Grocery accounts for 4.8% of GDP (!!) and runs on tech from the Reagan administration. Vori is the OS for the supermarket — checkout, payments, pricing, ordering, inventory, loyalty. Powering stores with the tools to run autonomously & profitably.

Grocery is a $1.5T domestic market — bigger than restaurants, bigger than hotels. But it's running on technology from the Reagan administration. We just raised a $22M Series B for @VoriHQ to make every supermarket in America autonomous.

via @NYTimes I’m reminded of my history classmate who said she “omg love Thai food” when I mentioned my Taiwanese heritage. Glad American school children are prepped for modern geopolitics with an entire semester spent on the French Revolution. nytimes.com/2022/10/05/us/po…

via ⁦@nytimes⁩. Low pay, long hours, all for the “ideology that architecture is a calling not a career”. I decided to not pursue this path early on when I saw what my future might hold. Great to see some changes towards improving the industry. nytimes.com/2021/12/21/busin…

Ah, Grand Ave. Do you live in Oakland? Have you spent a lot of time/energy/stress navigating this crucial corridor? After a bunch of outreach, @Oakland @rideact @altafieldnotes @remix designed a few different futures for the street. Give feedback here: grandave.altaplanning.cloud/

A bad day for the killer? What kind of day was it for the victims?

It's disappointing to see friends and the marketing industry at large turn its back to the AAPI community after a year of claiming they're "anti-racist". The xenophobia and hate is killing us and no one cares. I hope my story helps. Thank you @Adweek. adweek.com/brand-marketing/t…
