@Scobleizer @alirocketeer Cool!

Improved video features should land almost every week.

@anammostarac 100%

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

My first long video on Twitter (new feature turned on today).

I have been on Twitter 16 years and @elonmusk the new capabilities are welcome, that lets me find companies that SpaceX or Starlink might want to acquire. I have no interest in @alirocketeer other than he is a brilliant human.

Long video is a feature I have wanted for a long time. It really is appreciated.

[Ali Baghchehsara @alierocketeer]

Thanks @Scobleizer for this.

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

The AI-first rocket scientist.

Founder of @PlasmosSpace

@alierocketeer takes us into his lab.

These are engines that move satellites around in space.

He came up with a design that joins both an electric as well as gas fired. So it can move both efficiently and quickly with less weight, size, and cost.

I wonder what @FutureJurvetson thinks (he is the most into space person I have met, early investor in SpaceX and has a museum of space artifacts).

I'm working with some friends to turn this kind of thing into an AI-first community and video show that I call "Unaligned."

Who else should I interview that is using AI first in their work?

It's OK if the others aren't rocket scientists.

@Scobleizer @kr8tr Thanks for highlight ;)

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

My last month has been a weird juxtoposition of extraordinary highs and lows.

Sometimes within seconds of each other.

I was standing with three founders of Siri when I learned my friend and former boss @kr8tr died. Other things are happening like that too. Up one minute, down the next. Learned my brother in law was laid off. I owe him a post on how he could use AI in the mechanical engineering he does, but truth be told, I'm still trying to figure it out too. But took the air out of our conversation.

Reminds me of @danariely who was burned deeply on his face and upper body long ago and studied how his brain perceived pain as his nurses were ripping off his bandages. It is why he's the most interesting person I've met and I've met some interesting people. Every time I think of him and Esther Dyson, who sat with us for one conversation and realize some people are playing the game of life at a whole different level than you are.

Along these lines...

I was going to hold the rocket engine entrepreneur Ali Baghchehsara, founder of @PlasmosSpace, video for my launch of a video series I'm calling "unaligned" until June 1.

I hate not showing him to you, he is such a special human being. So holding his video any longer would be a crime.

Built a jet engine when he was 15 in Iran and has a little engine for all the satellites that will be added to the grids over your head to move it around. He says it is an AI company. Or I said that. Hah. He is a computer scientist and his previous company was an AI one. So, his approach to life, business, and engines is interesting.

But it is his ability to take risks that is most impressive. Risks that tear my heart out, like moving countries away from family, friends, support systems.

Anytime I feel sorry for myself because someone made fun of me or called me a name I think of Ali and Dan.

Ali has put up with a bunch of shit, as an immigrant, that makes my problems seem small, and, worse, rile me up with anger. So honored he came to my home and spent a lot of time with me. He so impressed my wife and I. But he is Iranian so they hit it off instantly.

Instead I'm going to put it up Friday morning before I head to Sun Valley, Idaho to hang out with two great friends who are driving me around the Western United States. @scottevest and @thomashawk.

Scott is kidnapping me and driving me around the country in his new car which cost a lot more than mine does. But that's not why I'm going. My friend dying a few weeks ago just rub in that we often don't get opportunities like these again.

OK, I lie. Those two yokels are fun, but when I was in high school I ran four marathons. My training was three hours of running a day. One of my goals was Los Gatos Ferrari where I'd dream of being on a road trip with my friends in such a beautiful machine.

No AI. Sometimes you have to go old school. That said, we're gonna NeRF it up. I hear we have a drone and a 360 camera that I'm gonna be running so if we break any laws there will be plenty of evidence.

If things really go well AI Artist @RobertpHaslam can turn the car into some wild art car. He's trying to get us to capture it in a way that the whole trip could be turned into a 3D experience everyone can go on later. Things to try.

Anyway, the rocket scientist is my kind of "unaligned" person. Unaligned from the past. Someone who knows there probably is a better way to do something and just hammers away at it in the lab you will be in until he gets there.

The things in front of him? Used advanced 3D printing tech that is just mind blowing compared to where it was just a few years ago.

Rocket engine engineering sure is different these days. AI company, huh? Well, at minimum, AI-first. He wrote a patent in 20 minutes on GPT, he told me.

My kind of unaligned.

Also, @IrenaCronin and I are planning something nice for Twitter Spaces for June 4th, the day before Apple's big launch.

[Ali Baghchehsara @alierocketeer]

@EUzoOkoro46 and I had a great chat over at the @WhiteHouse the other day! I think space needs first real commercial companies to come out.

[Ali Baghchehsara @alierocketeer]

@cboldenjr & I met in streets of dc completely planned ;)

@Scobleizer @maryamie Shirmal from rose market?🤓

[Ali Baghchehsara @alierocketeer]

@danielpsegundo You’re probably right. But why energ?

A VC fund with a thesis of investing in sober founders.

Could be the next big thing.
