@luke_leisher_ @grok what does the “D” in DARPA stand for?

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@AnthropoceneMe1 Did this at Anduril and now I’m a principal engineer

@0xblacklight Bro just focus on what it’s doing instead of how it’s talking to you, it’s still a good model

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@0xblacklight @tobi @ElectricSQL @DurableStreams “Directionally”

@83dollaroring Because if you work in defense, taking vacation either outside the USA or where there’s no cell service is literally the only way you can get away from work completely

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@BowTiedNiners It’s actually still out there if you know where to look

If you’re using Claude for more than 15 minutes a day, you need a daily cogsec regimen

> that's not something the claude i know would ever do or condone.

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@Ryan_Gasoline Need a Claude skill for this

@bayeslord Imagine being this paranoid when you don’t even work at Anduril

This is a really fascinating topic and a lot of people in industry are thinking about this. Mach 3+ before CFD + FEM. But, the really short answer is the USA used to kill a lot more experimental test pilots than it does now

People look at the SR-71 and B-2 and assume the government must have technology today that would melt our brains.

I suspect the opposite.

Those aircraft came from an era willing to spend obscene money, accept failure and give small teams the authority to solve impossible problems.

Since then, 51 major defense contractors became five. Procurement became a moat. Regulation became an incumbent advantage.

The companies meant to be challenged learned how to out lobby, out wait and out comply the challengers.

@BowTiedAstrnaut You forgot “slow”

[Andrew @6Aseries]

I don’t know which is funnier, that X is flagging this probably human-made meme as “made with AI”, or the possibility AI actually did make this meme

[Andrew @6Aseries]

Literally

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@BowTiedNiners Definitely takes the cake

Decima Technologies soft launch

[Douglas Macgregor @DougAMacgregor]

BREAKING: Lead investor behind Flock Camera Technologies caught funding a firm that is able to locate, hack, and ALTER both live and archived security camera footage without a detectable trace.

Guess who he is also linked to...

[Andrew @6Aseries]

They’re both from DTIC

[Index @lndexium]

this is his brother

[Andrew @6Aseries]

You can also tell the ai to not open the box, and then it won’t

[Andrew @6Aseries]

@BowTiedNiners It’s cool but seems like a controls nightmare when it comes to practical navigation and gust rejection
