Excited to announce a new steward for USB Club. A big day for memory, for connection, for shared presence. Grateful to everyone that continues to make it a meaningful place to belong.
USB Club has been acquired. Memory & Hardware is starting to matter again. We’ve been building for that moment. ↓ Learn More ↓

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding. We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style. We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today. Welcome to the new Era. Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.
We’re officially in our new Era.

A Waymo headed to the sunset brought me to the weatherspace of a new kind of labor which I call, Generative Pressure: the work of introducing, managing, and pushing context in a material-less space.

bringing memories back home
AI could help preserve the next millennium of family heritage — but only if those memories stay at home. Today we’re releasing intelligence.family, a speculative design project by @usbclub and garden3d, co-presented with the Mozilla Foundation.

Hardware isn’t slow because it’s hard. It’s slow because it’s far away. Shenzhen. A new hardware class. Shorter feedback loops. Record of Thought 006: ↓ "Signal to Source" ↓

The last couple months we've been working with @usbclub to compile our research into the feasibility and design thinking around building hardware devices running local LLMs. We just published the piece on Substack, but here's the seed that got us started: garden3d.substack.com/p/wher…
