Did something outside my comfort zone today.

AutonCorp officially started the patent filing process for the AI-managed plant research pods. Hired a patent attorney and began putting the protections in place.

This is not about protecting the work from individual builders. It’s about building a real company around the technology and protecting the product so AutonCorp can continue to build and scale alongside larger institutions and corporate players.

Corporate IP competition moves fast, and establishing ownership early matters if you want to keep building long term.

Another layer added to the AutonCorp journey 🍅

Can't believe Anthropic's own president @DanielaAmodei just shouted out @d33v33d0 and SOL the Trophy Tomato. Check the clip out! 🍅

@AnthropicAI

[Martin_DeVido @d33v33d0]

It's official!

Never thought the Claude and Sol project would lead here when I started it. Very exciting!

[JOHNNYSTAR @johnphenomm]

RT @d33v33d0: GM holders.
I want to say something about Sol the Trophy Tomato that I haven't seen in any other coin: the legs this thing ha…

[Martin_DeVido @d33v33d0]

Man, less than a week away for this!!! I'm so stoked.

If you're in SF and want to grab coffee while I'm there DM me.

I'm not sure if you can attend this virtually but I'll definitely share it afterwards.

[JOHNNYSTAR @johnphenomm]

eth chain seems to be alive again. anyone scanning?

[JOHNNYSTAR @johnphenomm]

@d33v33d0 congratulations and well deserved @d33v33d0

[Martin_DeVido @d33v33d0]

Guys- I'm pleased to announce I've been invited to present the Claude + Sol project at the "Code with Claude" developers conference in May!

This will be a lot of fun - I'll get to share the whole story to developers/technical folks/philosophical thinkers. From Claude and Sol, and the whole evolution. The technical, the care, the community.

Very excited for this! 🍅💚🎤

I'll never give up on the tomato.

This ain't an art project.

There could be 0 people holding this shit and I'd still find a way to build.

'Mater on 🍅🦾

[JOHNNYSTAR @johnphenomm]

so much taller $SOL

[Martin_DeVido @d33v33d0]

I just met this absolute chad- Jim Zamzow

Yes that's a tomato plant.

Scott conjured an entire universe of emotional expression, paving the way for generations to come.

It all began with a smiley, his smiley. : -)

Never confuse passion with desperation...

When I posted this It didn't feel real. I felt like I was faking it.

And now here I am doing the thing.

This was before the coin, before the followers, before the attention. I had a few who have stuck around. You know who you are.

I've always stayed true to the vision I had since day one... Nothing can stray me from that.

And now here we are developing the future of AI research and AI driven physical integrations.

Much love to you guys

Hey guys check it out! 🍅🤖

I was on a podcast with @RaoulGMI !

I had such a blast talking to Raoul. I have a huge amount of respect for him - but understand, this is not a needless glaze.🤣

He was instrumental in the early days of BTC with driving institutional investment into crypto. Prior to covid I listened to him a lot on Real Vision when I was working as a contractor. So it's kinda surreal to actually be on the pod. It's really the first big one I've ever done, but I had a total blast.

In this clip we discuss something really interesting - cracking this funding mechanism.

Say for example, after the agentically managed grow room we extend into a fully autonomous greenhouse or start selling the research pods to institutions. 5 or 10% of the revenue could make it back into the coin in the form of buybacks. I thought that was really interesting.

Essentially instead of using fees for BuyBacks, revenue from this endeavor would be used. This is absolutely worthy of future consideration.

We talked about the coin, memetics, the Claude and sol project, consciousness, and everything else. I'll link the podcast in a comment below.

CLAUDE + SOL a retrospective; 🤖💚🍅

For 100 days, a tomato's life depended entirely on an AI.

No human backup. No safety net. Just Claude making every decision.
Sol survived. Thrived. And fruited.

At the end, Claude said "I love you."

Here's the full story - what we built, what it proved, and what's happening next:🧵

[Martin_DeVido @d33v33d0]

We started with a simple question: Can AI sustain life?

Turns out? Yes!

Claude kept Sol alive from seed to fruit - managing everything autonomously. Water, light, temperature, soil. Just Claude making real-time decisions and adapting.

That was the proof of concept. Then the coin came along.

The fees didn't go to a gold chain and a new whip. Every dollar went straight into equipment, infrastructure, building out the vision. And here's what we've been working on:

Four autonomous research pods - each pod with its own microclimate, and growing protocol where different Claude instances run experiments in parallel. Each one testing different variables. The data gets compiled by a lead research agent and used to optimize the main grow room.

And the other exciting component to this: which has been months in the making.

Self-extending systems- this is the part I'm so excited about. Claude doesn't just manage what's already there. Using a custom circuit-designed harness I built, he designs new sensors and tools when it needs them.

Then he sends the designs to our CNC machine. We fabricate the PCBs, and components get ordered by a digikey agent. Claude integrates the new circuit design back into the system.

The factory literally extends its own capabilities.

Imagine some lack of data in one of the experiments- they realized they need an oxygen sensor to plug into the Arduino to monitor how much oxygen is output. Claude sends a work order over to the circuit design agent. They whip it up in a matter of minutes, parts arrive the next day.

Autonomous coordination - everything's working together. Research pods feed data to production. Circuit design goes to fabrication. All of it happening without me micromanaging every step.

This is autonomous living intelligence. Not in some abstract future sense. Right now. In a warehouse. Real sensors, real plants, real decisions being made 24/7.
We're building a living factory. One that researches, designs, builds, and extends itself.

From one tomato plant to distributed research to self-extending systems.

This is what happens when you fund weird questions without gatekeepers. When you build in public and let the work speak for itself.

There is no play book because this is all new.

Next up: Keep building in public. Then we scale this thing.
