We are excited to announce Blue, your Copilot for Military Operations. Commanders who decide faster, win faster. Blue automates labor-intensive, “science of war” decision making inputs, like terrain analysis, mission analysis, decision support templates, so commanders and staff have more time for the art of war and making better informed decisions.

War has become increasingly digital, decentralized, and fast – leading to compressed decision cycles. The future of military operations will demand innovative approaches to planning, rehearsal, and execution to outpace adversaries and seize the initiative.

Wake up babe, the Pope just dropped a treatise on AI. Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas is not just for theologians; AI frontier lab leaders like Anthropic’s co-founder attended and presented at the Vatican event.

This specific part of the encyclical made me think a lot about AI development for the military. One major AI goal of militaries around the world is course of action generation. Industry has failed to deliver because their approach ignored the realities of how humans conduct planning and the fact that commanders always bear ultimate responsibility for the human consequences of a course of action.

This is exactly why I’m proud of our product vision at @ExiaLabsAI. We focus primarily on COA Feasibility and our motto is "Master the Science of War." We save time for warfighters so they can focus on the art and the humanity of war. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

6 minutes to get from the curb to past the security checkpoint thanks to @flySEA and @TSA

The war in the Middle East today is going to increasingly expose areas of technological need for the Pentagon. The question is whether we respond with urgency. Seattle has the congressional clout and the innovation ecosystem to be part of the solution.

Introducing Keystone: AI-enabled Blue Force Assurance

Effective decision making across defense missions depends on fast, reliable access to integrated data from diverse systems and sources. Today, tracking and managing friendly and allied assets relies on manual processes and disparate systems, leading to potential delays, inaccuracies, and reduced system interoperability.

Keystone is an AI-enabled Blue Force Assurance product that ingests reports about friendly units from across echelons and allies, resolves inconsistencies and duplicates, and generates distinct unit entities with assigned confidence levels. Keystone updates these entities in real time, creating a single, trusted object-based data layer for mission command systems.

DHS and ICE are torching public trust with awful comms

- telling people not to believe what they’re seeing on video. Americans don’t take well to being told to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears

- Sec Noem, who abolished needing a permit for concealed carry in South Dakota, claiming that carrying a gun is equivalent to a violent assault. That argument could perhaps be made, but not by her

- refusing to stray from talking points even when new information emerges, giving the sense that truth is subordinated to political messaging

- all this after a string of tasteless and unserious tweets from official gov accounts that seem like TRT-fueled recruitment calls for gleeful curbstompers, including a now-deleted tweet last year about how it’s ICE’s job to stop illegal “ideas” from crossing the border

Obviously the problems go deeper than one department’s PR, but it’s crazy that their communication is bad enough to alienate even the Fox News crowd, including people who support mass deportations

I’m a longtime supporter of border security and upholding immigration law, which is only fair to citizens and law-abiding immigrants who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream

Defending America’s sovereignty and security is an important, honorable mission

Incompetent comms undermine it

@KTB_500 Smoke is a great idea. We'll evaluate how to add it to our simulations, hopefully more units get smoke!

Holiday travel madness is upon us. Get there hours ahead of time, wear sneakers so you can run, and be kind. Everyone is already pissed off 😅

[Jonathan Pan @notvert]

The buying politics within a Combatant Command is super interesting. Never would I have imagined that hiring a bunch of retired military and literally have them half beg/half annoy people into buying software, is a valid strategy.

[Jonathan Pan @notvert]

Nothing beats a military holiday party

[Jonathan Pan @notvert]

?

[Jonathan Pan @notvert]

@KTB_500 what are they afraid of? drones throwing off Blue's planning and execution or some potential physical harm of a drone?

[Jonathan Pan @notvert]

Can your CTO do this?

Being over 40 is crazy, if you move your head too fast to look in another direction, you might sprain your neck 😂

Stuck in New York for one night. Nothing beats the shitty attitude of JFK service workers. Four people on their phones and I'm the only person in line and nobody wants to help 😂
