We’re building AI agents, autonomous finance and increasingly sophisticated crypto security.
But one of the biggest vulnerabilities is still painfully human.
Someone finds your home address, shows up with a knife, and your entire security setup becomes irrelevant.
Maybe the next big crypto security product shouldn’t just protect private keys.
It should protect the people holding them.
@0xMrCurly They’re not adapting rocket tech directly. It’s more about the engineering mindset. Building insanely complex systems, making them reliable, and scaling them fast.
Elon Musk is bringing rocket engineers into the AI race.
Sounds weird, right? But there’s a pretty smart reason behind it.
Kevin Holland, a guy who worked on SpaceX’s Starship launch operations, is now VP of Supercompute.
His new job? Help scale Musk’s AI computing infrastructure.
Not build rockets. Not design chatbots. Build the massive systems that keep AI running.
And here’s the funny part.
Back in 2021, Musk told Lex Fridman:
“It’s much harder to take an advanced technology product and bring it into volume manufacturing than it is to design it in the first place.”
Now look at what’s happening.
Everyone’s fighting over who has the smartest AI.
OpenAI drops a model. Google fires back. Anthropic raises the bar. Grok joins the party.
Cool.
But who’s gonna power all this stuff?
We’re talking insane amounts of electricity, thousands of GPUs, cooling systems, data centers, and a whole lot of engineering headaches.
You can’t just throw money at a bunch of chips and call it a supercomputer.
Someone actually has to make the damn thing work.
SpaceX engineers know a thing or two about building ridiculously complicated machines, watching them blow up, fixing them, and doing it all over again until they work.
Now imagine bringing that mindset into AI.
While everyone else is busy chasing the next benchmark, Musk is pulling in people who know how to build massive systems in the real world.
And maybe that’s the part of the AI race we’re seriously underestimating.
Because having the smartest model is great.
But if someone else can build the infrastructure faster, run it cheaper, and scale it like crazy?
Musk spent years figuring out how to make rockets work at scale.
Now he’s betting that experience can help him do the same with AI.
And the wild part?
Some of the most important people in the AI race might turn out to be guys who used to launch rockets for a living.
