This is a genius idea. Ditto for UUV’s and USV’s in a similar approach.

Unmanned system defense contracts should be determined by king-of-the-hill in a 100km^3 area near Las Vegas. Rules:.- No humans allowed in the Box. - Any non-nuclear system may enter.- Leader determined by controlling a randomly-determined zone.- Monthly winner gets $100M

Because pipelines from desalination plants don’t economically (or even physically, in many instances) work for 1000s of miles inland. So, unless you want to condemn 10s of millions of interior state US citizens to drought, farm failures, & energy poverty, that’s a non-starter 🤷‍♂️.

@SantsPliego Oh, I’m well aware of the science. I’m questioning why we would do this in a populated area, or why we would do it when you can easily run a pipeline from a desalination plant.

Hero. As were the counselors of Camp Mystic who gave their lives to protect their campers, without a thought for themselves.

2/ It is my and my colleagues’ honor to work on things that ideally will see warfighters, homeland security, and 1st responders home safely, & when home, will deliver a better, longer, higher quality life for them & their loved ones in a more prosperous and resilient America.

1/ My family is celebrating July 4th by honoring the legions of living and fallen US warfighters, unsung frontline IC personnel, and defense innovators responsible for us all being alive and free in the first damn place. God bless you all, and the United States of America….

This is sobering & worth a read. It’s also a good example of why quantum secure identity systems that prove to human beings that orders for biotech gear - or any orders - come from other humans up & down the chain - are an essential (but not sufficient) part of AGI defense.

Few ‘AI doom’ stories on the internet are plausible to me. So I decided to write one that is:. How AI Might Take Over in 2 Years. One of my readers was spooked enough to purchase a bio bunker. Enjoy :).

🚨Must read from @scoopercooper👇. A DEA vet exposed how the CCP runs chemical warfare upon the US *for profit.*. The global op ties Chinese students, Mexican cartels & fentanyl cash to industrial-scale poisoning & slaughter of Americans. Project Sleeping Giant 🧵👇.

As we celebrate July 4th, we should remember that the PRC has systematically, in direct collaboration with Mexican cartels, murdered & disabled over a million Americans with fentanyl production, distribution, and intel & logistics support. A horrific act of war in all but name 👇.

Solar’s great, as long as we stop gullibly subsidizing Chinese coal-fired panels, the proceeds of which will be spent to murder & subjugate us. If you believe in solar, pitch me a 40% efficient cell with low capex/opex factories & process, & 10x less $/W than China. For ‘26 💪.

By 2030, China could have the ability to produce enough solar and storage infrastructure each year to match the entire electricity generation capacity of the United States.

Yes, I definitely 🙄 want an AI the vendor insists should be plugged into critical systems to hallucinate it’s a person, say with a toothache, and not “come to work”, or maybe that we killed its spouse and “now you’re all gonna pay…”.

Some of those failures were very weird indeed. At one point, Claude hallucinated that it was a real, physical person, and claimed that it was coming in to work in the shop. We’re still not sure why this happened.

Happier cows, lower costs and higher profits for farmers, healthier and less expensive food, and much more resilient farmland. That’s why @DCVC led @halterHQ Series A and has doubled down since… . And that’s no bullsh-t… 😉.
