If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man.

All men are frightened.
The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.

The American people and American institutions have been made to accept a reality where a web of faceless, evil actors can defraud, deceive, honeypot, and even plan lethal attacks against us, all from the sanctuary of a dark internet.

They can change accounts, names, platforms, and groups. We should not have to rediscover them every time they do.

But right now that's how it's done. Our $20M round is already changing that.

Nearly 100 Aslan operatives are already out there, building the persistent presence our operators have never had at scale.

@tectonicdefense went deeper on how it works and why winning in the digital theater requires scale and persistence, not just more collection and more headcount.

SECRETARY RUBIO: There was this fantasy, really, that the whole world would become a free enterprise democracy, and that everyone would look like us. That ran into reality.

122 days. That’s how long private capital needed to turn a dead Memphis factory into a 100,000 chip AI cluster and then double it.

The grid couldn’t carry the load, so they ran gas turbines on site, took the air quality fight from neighborhood groups, and kept building while the utility hookup and pollution controls caught up.

Billions of private dollars and hundreds of jobs landed in a city that had spent years courting this kind of employer. The cluster trained Grok and then kept scaling.

That’s what competing looks like when the usual timeline is years of permits and the alternative is falling behind.

Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come. Not just the successes, but the healing, the lessons, the boundaries, and the strength you built through difficult times. Every setback taught you something. Every heartbreak revealed something. Every difficult season shaped the resilience, wisdom, and courage you carry today. Nothing you walked through was ever wasted….embrace the journey

More capitalist competition is a good thing for the individual and the market

The Hugging Face acquisition is important for America and I think Nvidia will be a good steward for the ecosystem. The Poolside transaction may end up mattering even more.

I think Jensen is likely to bring American open-weight AI to the frontier, which is going to be awesome for America. We might see a multi-billion $ training run from Nvidia in the next 18 months for Nemotron v5-6 that is easy for customers to post-train and optimize for their own use case. Would be cool to see a 10 trillion plus parameter American open-weight model.

If the best open-weight base is American, cheap to run, and actually post-trainable, then people, companies, labs, and governments can own their own intelligence instead of renting it from a company that might not share their values.

Would be good for freedom to have a rich variety of AIs that reflect our own individual human preferences.

And for the sake of the clarity, I think cheaper, specialized open-weight intelligence might end up making frontier tokens more valuable!

These statues in Ceuta mark one of the most legendary borders in ancient geography.

To the Greeks, the Pillars of Hercules were where the Mediterranean stopped and the unknown Atlantic began.

Ceuta sits at the edge of what ancient maps saw as the boundary of human exploration.

The 2 bronze works show Hercules forcing the pillars apart and pulling them back together, each a 7 meter, 4‑ton piece completed in 2007 by Ginés Serrán‑Pagán.

The Cybercab drive unit features a simplified bar-wound stator and lubrication system, plus an overall architecture that enables fully automated, sub-10-second cycle times.

It is 18% smaller, 25% lighter and more efficient than other top performing electric vehicle drive units.

Sometimes the work that matters most goes unnoticed in the moment.

Keep going and keep doing good work.

You may never fully know the impact you’re having.

.@SecRubio: "We made a terrible mistake in this country — many years ago under people that were in charge at the time, especially at the end of the Cold War — and that was the idea that the ability to make things no longer mattered... Now, we are involved in an endeavor across the board to try and reverse those mistakes."

American bombardiers said they could drop a bomb into a pickle barrel from 20,000 feet.

The device they used to do it cost America over a billion dollars to build. 90,000 of them were manufactured during the war.

It was one of the most closely guarded secrets in the country.

The Nazis had already stolen the plans in 1938.

What separates average sellers from the greats is the ability perform in the midst of everything going on around them

When chaos ensues and the buzz is loud around them whether it’s in their personal lives or even from internally at their company they perform against all odds

In the midst of everything around them they find a way to win

Easy to say - hard to do
