We were served by a Tesla Optimus tonight.
One of the Tesla guys asked if we had a company since I inquired about purchase and I told him yes, and he said that puts us at the front of the line, especially if it’s an industrial setting and I told him we definitely meet that demand with https://t.co/Ge2JOPOBIA
Stay tuned, y’all. 🤖
Yes.
We're out of space and already running the right half of this for fabrication. We're paused on the large concrete pour due to cost and higher priorities, but it will be for expanding, including this building and more tooling, including walk-in freezers for larger butchering
@ZacharySisson3 @wwwLiveFarm This is why I bought a house with an airplane hanger. Factory space is a must
@10_X_eng @ZacharySisson3 Yes.

Just a little while longer until we're using humanoids as well:

For those who haven't seen it, this is an excellent video, and one of our favorites.
Now feels more important than ever to imagine a brighter future.
Five years ago, we released ‘Dear Alice’. An encapsulation of a Solarpunk future for Chobani.
Even all these years later, we still get tagged in repurposed content for this by the Solarpunk community!
Unlike Cyberpunk or Steampunk, Solarpunk envisions a future that you'd actually probably quite like to live in! It's not intended to be just an aesthetic, but a political movement towards a brighter and greener future.
Our short depicts humans, animals and nature all living and working harmoniously with non-invasive technology. It's a world where technology is used to enhance tried-and-true farming practices rather than to replace them with something that degrades nature. Solarpunk doesn't mean everyone has to live on a farm. Civilisations can still exist, and if you look closely, the buildings in the city incorporate greenery to bring nature to brick-and-mortar.
The central focus is on a woman narrating a letter written by a grandmother to her granddaughter about how she wants to leave behind a more sustainable future for her. It’s a nostalgic look towards a new era of agriculture, with beautifully crafted backgrounds, delicate animation and a completely unique score by long-time Ghibli composer (and absolute legend) Joe Hisaishi.

PSA: We released our Category 1 Three-Point Carry-All CAD file to the public for precisely this kind of conversation.
Concept for neighborhood fire suppression.
One idea I’ve been thinking about since surviving the 2025 LA fires is how local volunteers can help stop towns from destruction by putting out fires before they spread. Especially before the fire department shows up (or when they can't...)
Picture a pickup truck equipped with a high-flow pressure system, flat hoses, and a water tank designed for the first critical minutes of a fire.
Instead of relying on city fire hydrants, neighbors temporarily connect ordinary garden hoses from multiple homes into the truck, combining local water supply into one system.
A pressure pump then allows trained neighborhood volunteers to stay a safer distance away while projecting meaningful water flow onto ember attacks, roofs, fences, vegetation, or early-stage structure ignitions.
This is obviously not a replacement for firefighters, and the brigade could stand down once they arrive. Rather this is a way to stop a small fire from becoming a neighborhood disaster while waiting for them to arrive.
Would love feedback. Crazy idea or worth building?
This past Friday was a success:
Full house today at https://t.co/Ge2JOPOBIA!
It was scorching hot today, and everyone worked through the heat. Midori worked with our youngest intern, our son, kept the operation running, and somehow kept all of us fed and hydrated through a 10-someodd hour workday where we ate our body weight in burgers and drank an ocean of water.
@ZacharySisson3 and I split off with different groups of interns into different teams and worked several major tasks in parallel. Not all of our interns have arrived yet for the season, so this is only the beginning, and they span from high school to multiple universities (Texas A&M, Perdue, MIT, and Waterloo).
Zachary and Ryder continued dismantling our old chicken run to prepare the site for “Greenhouse Prototype 1,” where our lofty goal is a monthly average of 2,000 lbs of food produced in 1,000 square feet of space.
The chicken run is now fully disassembled except for the final post, which is still holding the solar panel for our automated chicken coop. I’ll need to follow behind them, remove the electronics, and then we can pull the last post. After that, we’ll bring in the tractor with the fork attachment, slightly lift the chicken coop, chainsaw the posts anchoring it into the ground, and continue removing the rock skirting that helped tie the wire into the run and kept varmints from attacking, killing, and eating our chickens.
Meanwhile, I continued working with @IndustrialRe4m, Daven, and AJ on “Autonomous Rover Prototype 1.”
Daven and AJ made a supply run for us, exchanging one of our welding gas tanks and picking up more gas for MIG welding. They also picked up a weather-resistant enclosure for the brains of the autonomous rover, since we’re working toward making it operate 24/7, through all seasons and all weather.
When they arrived back with the gas and enclosure, they jumped in with me and took over the gate repair work I had been doing on the electrical system. The gate was running off one of our batteries, but we swapped batteries around and moved the heavier battery from the gate and one of our communications towers over to the rover. We then put a smaller battery on the gate as a temporary fix while we continue waiting for the concrete to cure on three of our five communications towers.
I’m also continuing to build out the payloads for the communications towers, which will tie into the rovers, aerial drones, cameras, sensors, and the rest of the https://t.co/Ge2JOPOBIA system. The goal is for the artificial intelligence layer to be able to watch, sense, control, and coordinate across the ranch as we continue to close in on a large operation running with 0–1 people and everything else with AI and Robotics. Difficult, but not impossible, and this is how we will become an interplanetary species and colonize Mars, for example.
Longer term, we’re also tying this into the broader https://t.co/Ge2JOPOBIA system where people on the Internet will be able to remotely drive autonomous rovers and fly aerial drones on the ranch.
The rover team wrapped up the week going full zero-to-hero. I handed my older rover work over to them and we started over from scratch, other than some basic electrical work I had already done.
We lost most of Tuesday diagnosing a short that caused motor failure, and then lost most of Thursday working through safety protocols, detections, and failure checks, including severe failure conditions like thermal runaway that could result in a large fire.
By the end of the week, we got everything working and drove the rover across the concrete pad as a successful test.
Now we’re moving into the harder work: getting it to drive onto our country roads without us standing next to it (and trying not to get in trouble with our County Sheriff 🤫), without needing WiFi, while we continue building out its neural network, autonomous self-recharging, weatherproofing, remote operation, and the other core features we’ve been developing.
Baby steps, but very real progress!
Last week, our interns and I drove our Autonomous Rover Prototype across the driveway.
I’ve been grinding away on our long-range comms to now focus on us driving it around our ranch and between our neighbors’ ranches and ours, and will now add video game controllers to the mix.

Let’s do this thing
Our interns from Texas A&M and Purdue started yesterday. Our work has been on the autonomous rovers and picking up on my work that I haven’t touched in a while due to time constraints.
In 2040s, somewhere north of Lago Vista, Texas lies massive Tree Arcologies. The force that captures the planet’s water moisture from a water bank deep inside the massive tree trunks.
Supplying water to the sky, from the sky, to the ground and out of the ground. Like your bank account would with money.
The branches and outer trunk bark are the data centers running the arcologies and @wwwLiveFarm’s massive farm operation conglomerate serving Earth and its planet systems.
We’re gunna be alright y’all.

Baby steps of progress on our fabrication side:
We’ve now had to add additional Argon/CO₂ tanks, 75% Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide, because the crew is starting to run through tanks and spools at a steady rate on MIG.
We’re also running through boxes of electrodes on Stick.
It’s a small thing, but it’s a real milestone when the consumables stop sitting on the shelf and start disappearing because the work is actually moving.
Speaking of, our hydraulic pump failed and we’ve had to switch over to using the forklift attachment to (dis)connect the trailer while the pump continues to be diagnosed. Suboptimal.
0/10, would not recommend.
Our tools live a hard life and are put through the paces often. Our @PrimeWeld plasma torch encountered some hiccups and they’ve been an absolute pleasure to deal with, continue to take care of us, and have been a great company to work with and use as a vendor here at the ranch.

(This is part of our physical infrastructure for microwave gigabit backhaul across not only our land, but also with our neighbors.)
This is exhausting. Instead, they should meet with @aphysicist and attend @reindsummit
The betrayals y’all see in the American Manufacturing, Science, and Technology sectors is the same you see in American Home and Agricultural sectors — even worse now with fuel and fertilizer.
President Trump will be joined by more than a dozen top U.S. business executives during his trip to China, including Elon Musk, Larry Fink and Tim Cook.
CBS News contributor Patrick McGee, author of the book, “Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company,” says the lineup signals the summit is meant to focus on trade and investment, not "Cold War issues."
