The future is going to be as epic as we choose to build.

I had the privilege of jumping on a call with @BrianKeith yesterday. He may be a candidate for most interesting man in the world. Really cool guy with a brilliant mind and great heart! If you don’t already follow him, remedy that immediately.

This one was tough to write, but I hope it will put into perspective WHY we build.

Some version of AI personhood is coming.
SITUATION DETECTED: Delaware is drafting a proposal for a new form of corporate entity called an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). An AI managing an AIC would be able to provide services, sign contracts, hold property, and even file or defend lawsuits in the company’s name.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of recursive self-improvement, it was the age of data center bans, it was the epoch of intelligence explosions, it was the epoch of local backlash, it was the season of acceleration, it was the season of red tape, it was the spring of superintelligence, it was the winter of compute.

Just had 3 resets pop up on my Claude. Anyone know where they came from? Not mad about it (quite happy), just curious.

Florida and Alabama need to team up and create the new home for freedom and innovation here in the SE.

Preach.
Good morning patriots, it’s another great day to reindustrialize America and build a better future for our children. Let’s get after it

today i learned that Elon is getting into space drugs it's called Starfall and it's basically a flying drug lab > drug companies pack their ingredients into a 10-foot-wide capsule > a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carries it into orbit > the drugs grow on their own with nobody on board > then the capsule falls back to Earth and parachutes into the Pacific the reason they go through all that hassle is that drugs come out way better when they’re made in space because the tiny crystals they’re made of grow evenly up there instead of lumpy like they do on Earth take Keytruda, the best-selling drug in the world scientists grew its crystals on the space station, which helped turn it from a 2-hour IV drip into a 1-minute shot and the craziest part is that some medicine might only be possible to develop up there for example: scientists couldn't get clean crystals of a key Duchenne muscular dystrophy protein on Earth but the ones grown in space finally showed its shape and led to a new drug that went into human trials so i think space will unlock a whole new class of drugs that are impossible to make on Earth

Democratized super intelligence can help us have clean water and robots doing our laundry. We can do both.
Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants data centers in space. Nobody wants humanoid robots or flying cars. We want clean water. We want a stable climate. We want a habitable planet. We want wildlife to survive. We want to live.

Astra is building to this end. Big things coming soon. 🚀
College students: a degree can open conversations after graduation, however evidence of what you can do gives those conversations somewhere to go. Some examples are a product, some uses, a customer, your health, or a problem you solved.

Imagine if you had to work 6 hours to afford just one hour of artificial light. That was how much it took in 1800. By 1880, that dropped to 15 minutes. By 1950, just 8 seconds. Today? About 0.2 seconds. Light was once an expensive luxury. Now, it's so affordable that we barely think twice about flipping a light switch. That's the extraordinary story of human progress. Innovation has made things that were once out of reach accessible to billions of people. And it's a powerful reminder of how much better life can get. @mattwridley, author of The Rational Optimist, explains why we have good reason to be optimistic about the future.

My 2yr old daughter went to the barn, turned on the air compressor, filled up a flat tire on our UTV (somehow got the pressure correct), put everything away properly, and then got mad that she wasn’t strong enough to open the barn doors. When I walked in, she had everything done and said, “I was going to get you, but those doors are too big” Apparently she was also planning to drive it 🤣 She kinda scares me.

I’m on the warpath to defeat the chronic pessimism destroying the western world. Join me.

This picture excites me more than it should.
Everything we do at @NASA better pass the “What would Gene Kranz think of this?” test... and that is going to be especially important as we build the Mission Control of the Future to manage operations in LEO, the Moon Base and Beyond.

Does anyone know a good aerospace engineer that would be willing to chat with me for a few minutes? I don’t need money, I just need to bounce an idea off of someone that knows the industry.

I have had the chance to speak with 50+ entrepreneurs and investors over the last 6 weeks. Here’s the #1 THING I learned: Everyone feels isolated. Like they are the only ones around that see the future as potential to do something epic. Let’s change that.
