The benefit of owning your own private tank is that you can run endless drone swarm strikes on it

Big moment for @auterion ! We are helping our partner Airlogix to set up scale manufacturing capacity in Germany! Thank you @ZelenskyyUa and Boris Pistorius @BMVg_Bundeswehr for your support!

This video shows our product, @auterion Nemyx swarming (with SLM10 drones - the reference design for our partners) striking three targets simultaneously by a single operator. Drone warfare will never be the same.

The future of warfare is now.
Drone swarms and AI-enabled capabilities will be embedded into our entire fighting force.
The @DeptofWar will be AI-FIRST.

Our military just conducted the first EVER kinetic drone swarm strike on American soil.

First time I've heard "pre Series A" and I can't help but think "not a flamethrower". Anyway, congrats to Lovable. - techcrunch.com/2025/02/25/sw…
Europe is so focused on these large, ambitious projects but how about starting small and simply bringing reliable, high speed wifi to the Eurostar? Do a deal with @Starlink!?!
I miss the Twitter 140 character max limit.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!
So this is an inside round? Thrive first led the $29b round, then invested at $80b, and now leading an inside round at $150b? axios.com/2024/10/02/openai-…
I think it may have more to do with tour dates. She played 15 dates in August but none in the month of September and is performing again in October. - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_…
🇺🇸TAYLOR SWIFTLY LOSES 2 MILLION LISTENERS AFTER ENDORSING KAMALA
When she publicly endorsed Kamala in an Instagram post on Sept. 10, 94 million unique Spotify listeners had streamed at least one of her songs in the past month.
A little more than a fortnight later, on Sept. 27, Taylor’s monthly unique listeners had dropped to 91.9 million.
The number of people viewing her YouTube videos in the U.S. also dropped by nearly 10% after backing Kamala.

It makes no sense for a country running a budget deficit to launch a sovereign wealth fund.
