I met Luke a couple years ago when we both spoke at the NLI conference in Fredericksburg.
I am absolutely floored to learn that he’s been diagnosed with brain cancer. If you’re in a place to contribute to his family, please do. Otherwise please keep him in your prayers. https://t.co/w60Q6Dzo9T
@jamoses92@Castelion@anduriltech@Furientis@SilentVentures "Designed for the factory first" is exactly our thesis at Ferrus Defense. We're building counter-UAS targets and interceptors in Southern Utah, with rate manufacturing as the backbone. Raising our seed now and would love to get in front of you. https://t.co/HQCortgt7D
@rawsalerts You all seem to think that democrats are peace loving zealots. What they pull from Iran will just go to Ukraine/Taiwan. Defense money isn't going anywhere.
Building an agent isn't the hard part anymore. Every model release eats another layer of thin wrappers.
The durable companies won't have the "best agent." They'll own a high-trust workflow and the governance that lets a risk-averse buyer actually deploy it: permissions enforced outside the model, audit trails, humans holding authority over irreversible actions.
Nobody buys an agent. They buy an outcome they're allowed to ship.

@Babygravy9 Our people are far beyond any other capability wise. The only problem is that our societal institutions do not champion the collective, therefore people only live for themselves.
Instrumental improvement is still instrumental. The people remain means to an end you set. The difference only appears once further pressure stops raising their capacity and starts preserving your control. Most miss the switch because early results look identical.
Near-omniscience is not required. What is required is visible cost for miscalibrating. Low-empathy people can develop that signal when getting it wrong is expensive and hard to hide. Split personality is an unnecessary premise. The actual constraint is that most environments reward either extraction or avoidance more than calibrated pressure.
A sociopath can calculate restraint. That’s just refined domination. Nietzsche’s point was harder: someone who can still feel attachment and still not be ruled by it. Most people either get captured by what they care about or stop caring and turn everyone into material. The rare version does neither. It can register the cost of a decision and still make it, without needing the world to stay broken in order to feel powerful.
