The unnamed book EMPIRE OF AI is mine, based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, & my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order: https://t.co/i5rNJ45fNo.
Sat down with Justin from the Pilot to Pilot podcast the other day. Talked about Special Operations, deployed flying, professionalism in aviation, and of course @FlyingCompany
Give it a listen on whatever podcast things you use

If you want your life to change, start by changing what you feed your mind.
I read my goals every single night before I sleep and every single morning when I wake up.
Six of them expire every six months. The rest stretch out over two, five, ten, even twenty years.
I set them high on purpose- goals that scare me, goals I almost never hit. Because that's how you grow.
Science shows most of what we dream about is either what we fear or what we hope will happen.
When I wake up, I read them again so I take one action that moves me closer.
RIP 💔 The world just lost the mathematical genius behind GPS technology.
Gladys West, the mathematical titan who developed the essential foundation for GPS, has died at the age of 95.
Born in 1930 in rural Virginia, West spent her childhood picking crops before a scholarship to Virginia State College launched her into a 42-year career with the U.S. Navy.
As one of only four Black professionals at the Naval Proving Ground in 1956, she worked in quiet brilliance to solve the complex algorithms that account for the Earth's gravitational irregularities. Her calculations were not just academic exercises; they were the indispensable building blocks for the satellite navigation system that billions of people rely on today for everything from global shipping and aviation to daily commutes and smartphone apps.
For decades, West’s monumental contributions remained a "hidden" chapter of American history, recognized only late in her life through inductions into the U.S. Air Force Hall of Fame and the prestigious Prince Philip Medal. Her legacy is one of profound perseverance, having navigated the systemic barriers of the Jim Crow South to redefine how we perceive and navigate our planet. Though her work powers the digital maps on every smartphone, she famously retained a personal preference for paper maps, a humble nod to her roots and the physical world she spent a lifetime mapping. West passed away peacefully surrounded by family, leaving behind a world that is infinitely more connected and precise because of her brilliant mind.
