Building high-mix high-volume future with robots and AI @machinalabs_
Joined October 2021
(1/9) @MachinaLabs_, we're working on full automation in manufacturing through our 'Robocraftsman' technology—robotic cells designed to turn design intent directly into physical products. This concept is akin to the shift in the digital world, where cloud computing allowed

Oh wait, this is the moment Alex Karp finally pieces together why DEI was invented in the first place… and how we somehow speed-ran it straight past the intended purpose… to make it full circle to today… new DEI initiative at Palantir 🤣 🤯
While cross-country skiing this morning, Dr. Karp decided to launch a new program: The Neurodivergent Fellowship. If you find yourself relating to him in this video — unable to sit still, or thinking faster than you can speak — we encourage you to apply. The final round of

The plan was clean. The escape? Not so much. Midway City doesn’t play fair. Wishlist this 4-player coop heist FPS on Steam today.

This got me wondering whether LLMs have bumped up the population’s IQ or the opposite. On one hand, they’re basically hyper-competent pattern-matching mentors sitting in our pocket helping us improve our IQ by teaching by example. On the other, maybe the fear is true and we’re

Curious how people here discover the weird and brilliant low follower gems outside their own bubble. @nikitabier, I would happily pay for a feature that expands my horizon instead of reinforcing it. I get that it might not boost engagement or ad dollars, but some of us want the

Everyone's asking, "Is the AI market a bubble?" It's the wrong question. Your job as a leader isn't to predict the market crash; it's to survive the tech shift. The risk isn't financial, it's existential. Here's why the bubble talk is just noise, and the 3-step strategy to

Forget positive thinking. Assume the worst-case scenario will happen in any situation, and you'll be perpetually cheered up by anything that's merely terrible instead of catastrophic. Imagine how happy you would be when good things happen 🤣

This Strategy is a mandate to rebuild American industrial strength with flexible, intelligent factories that deliver real capacity when it matters. The future belongs to nations that can produce. And produce fast. And produce hard-to-build products. We don’t need to make

Software-defined production is not optional. It is the only path to meet the scale, cost, and speed this Strategy demands. If you can design it, Machina Labs can build and scale it.

The Strategy also identifies a major gap between low-cost threats and high-cost defenses. Closing that gap requires a different model for manufacturing. Some interpret that as cheap stuff. But I say no compromise on speed & low cost. No compromise on capability. We need both.

There is a clear warning about weak supply chains and foreign dependencies. The U.S. cannot rely on outside powers for critical components. We need factories that can build and scale not just simple designs but advanced concepts now.

AI, robotics, and autonomy are now core to national power. The Strategy prioritizes leadership in these technologies and calls out the need for rapid industrial adaptation. Your advanced concept deserves advanced production.

It highlights the need to produce advanced systems and weapons at scale and at lower cost. Capability only matters if you can build it fast enough. Build the hard stuff. Build it fast. Build a lot.

The Strategy calls for a stronger industrial base and a full national effort to reshore production. America needs the most advanced robust industrial base in the world to meet modern defense needs. To build overmatch, we need factories that can build with the speed of relevance.

The new National Security Strategy makes one thing clear. America will compete on its ability to build. Not on its ability to talk about building. No compromise. 🧵

Didn’t think this was such a hot button for Palmer. I read what’s out there, I go to the shows, I talk to folks in the industry including his team. If my impression is off, they might just need to share more detail on their process. Every chatbot spits out “composite” as the main
@EdwardMehr It isn't. Have you even looked at our products?

If I am honest legacy primes are more open to design for cheaper and more readily available material… legacy primes are doing a great job working metals into their missiles while barracuda is a composite vehicle

But… but… Anduril is using the same bespoke composites and processes as the primes they’re roasting. @PalmerLuckey if steel or aluminum is the way to go, why is everything you make is still carbon fiber?

Gets even emptier when you look at the world. I feel like why go to space before we fill up all those empty areas. Mars sounds harsher environment than Sahara! And then we have floating cities in the oceans we need to populate as well. Plenty of water! :)

You look at this and wonder how anyone thinks we’re overpopulated.
