ceo at @rawmaterialsco — d&ad design agency of the year

[Dalton Caldwell @daltonc]

Don’t forget to support people trying strange new things. They won’t forget that you did.

You can still instantly tell when an app lacks the human touch. I can't commit my time to something if I see that the creator is not willing to commit theirs.

If you're downtown, just head down All American into Slaughter Pen. Can't go wrong exploring around there. "The Castle" is a fun hub to head to with various options heading off of it. It all connects.

Option B would be Coler Mountain Bike Preserve.

Option C would be Bella Vista, specifically starting in the Blowing Springs parking lot and heading out on Back 40.

Not mutually exclusive if you want some extra peddles.

OpenClaw just launched Mission Control.

This changes everything.

You can now:

→ See all agents in one dashboard

→ Track tasks in Kanban boards

→ Watch agents talk to each other

→ Approve actions in real time

→ Run everything on autopilot

It’s your AI command center.

Free to set up.

Save this video, you’ll stop managing chaos.

@bobbyfijan Cool

[John Roescher @johnroescher]

Yes

[Dylan Field @zoink]

Design, craft and quality are the key differentiators now — both for customers and for talent.

I’m not exaggerating when I say today is the best day of my life

@AustinMa119728 @oprydai Really?

[John Roescher @johnroescher]

Very sad

Excited to share Vibes — a new feed in the Meta AI app for short-form, AI-generated videos.

One week

[Epirus @epirus]

100% successful. 61/61 drones disabled across 5 operationally-relevant flight scenarios.

Capped off by a 49-drone swarm kill. Instantly and safely — all with one burst of electromagnetic interference.

Get an exclusive look inside our recent drone swarm demonstration from @axios: https://t.co/uXZaUIZboc

Stay tuned for the video release.

Sell the product. Or sell the Mission that sells the product.

@epirus could have announced their new generation of defense tech with a press release. Easy, simple. But hardly fitting for something of this magnitude. You don’t work tireless hours to build something revolutionary and then…send a press release.

So instead they came to us at @rawmaterialsco. And together we created a website and motion piece that told the story of “The Sixth Domain Doctrine”.

Calling for change at the highest levels, it sold the Mission instead of products, and defined a new domain of the battlefield that needed a different mindset and approach to our national defense.

An approach for which Epirus is now the leading protagonist.

To learn about the Mission, about Epirus, and why it matters to all of us that we get this right, read on here: https://t.co/u3k7OxpHHg

As with everything we work on, this was a big collaboration between our team and our friends at Epirus. One Mission, One Team.

don’t build slot machines
don’t fake humans
don’t hide the messy truths
don’t create black boxes
don’t make people feel stupid
don’t extract value or attention
don’t optimize for vanity metrics
don’t gatekeep knowledge
don’t make tools that divide
don’t sacrifice agency for convenience
don’t hold opinions

build tools that teach
build systems that reveal
build for human curiosity, not clicks
build bridges, not walls
build for the commons
build for every unique being
build to amplify thought
build for the person you once were
build for questions we haven’t yet asked
build tools that extend imagination
build with the love for humanity, for the universe we live in

This isn’t a good thing. Hard is slow for a reason.

At @Meta one of my favorite posters was a picture of a rocking horse that said: "Do not mistake motion for progress."

[Aaron Levie @levie]

There is so much opportunity right now in making AI Agents real for enterprises. The models pack insane capabilities, but to get them into the middle of an enterprise workflow requires significant scaffolding, domain understanding, and context engineering. This is the play.

[John Roescher @johnroescher]

@pete_mathias Good call. We’re working on some things at @rawmaterialsco with a few clients that will answer this call.
