This was my desk this morning: a new hardware wallet sitting next to an Aruon QR code. I put them together on purpose. Something is coming faster than most owners realize. Your next customer may not be a person. It may be an AI agent sent by a person to do one job: find the right service, compare the options, and pay. It won't browse, it won't need a checkout page, and it won't wait until Monday. Agents don't carry credit cards the way we do. More and more of them pay in crypto and stablecoins, because those settle directly and work around the clock. So we're getting ready. Soon, every Aruon product will be available for an AI agent to buy and pay for in cryptocurrency. The products and the people behind them stay the same, all running on U.S.-based AI on hardware we own. The bigger question is about you, not us. When an agent shows up to buy from your company, can it read what you sell? Can it pay you? Or will it quietly move on to a competitor who was ready? Most businesses haven't thought about this yet, and that's the opening. Is your company ready for a customer that isn't human? #AgenticAI #AIAgents #Crypto #FutureOfCommerce #AruonAi

What's llms.txt? A short plain-text file on your website that tells AI assistants who you are, what you offer, and where to find the details. Most small business sites don't have one. Beacon adds it for you, and your site and design stay exactly the same.

Same website. Two very different readers. Your customers see this. ChatGPT sees… almost nothing. Would AI recommend your business? 👇 beacon.aruon.ai

We trained our Muse foundational models, including Muse Wonder, at Prometheus, our gigawatt-scale supercluster in New Albany, Ohio. Across a supercluster with hundreds of thousands of GPUs, even one underperforming host can slow an entire training run. We engineered Prometheus for resilience at scale, achieving 85%+ goodput on pretraining, 90%+ on reinforcement learning and ~47K GPU hours mean time between interruptions during Muse Wonder training. Take a look at the tech powering Prometheus: go.meta.me/4yXXApZ

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump gives a HUGE shoutout to Elon Musk for pledging a huge chunk of his OWN SpaceX shares to MILLIONS of American children We’re talking SEVERAL BILLION dollars worth that’ll be transferred to Trump Accounts. “This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream.” 🇺🇸

SpaceX is officially seeking FAA approval for up to 456 Starship launches and 912 landings per year from Starbase, a big increase from the 25 launches and 50 landings allowed today. • Phase 1 would include up to 100 annual launches and up to 200 annual landings (100 of the Starship and 100 of the Super Heavy). Launches and landings could occur at any day or time of the week. FAA: "As the vehicle continues to mature and reliability improves, launch and landing rates are expected to increase. Starship and Super Heavy are designed to require minimal post-flight refurbishment." • Phase 2 would include up to 456 launches originating from, and 912 annual landings at, the Boca Chica Launch Site at Starbase, Texas. Launches could occur at any time of day, but would only occur Monday through Friday. FAA: "This phase represents a mature program launching more than 100 times annually and would be implemented within several years." Public comments are due by Nov. 30, 2026

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note on Starship flight 15: "Flight 15 (~1 month from now) is shaping up as SpaceX's biggest test towards Starship reusability since the IPO, with Flight 16 (targeted before year-end) potentially an even bigger one. Our message to investors: We anticipate developments over the forthcoming weeks/months could help profoundly evolve investor expectations about SpaceX's role in converting energy into intelligence at scale through physical agents - robots to help build economically multiplicative technologies for future generations. We believe reducing launch costs by a further order of magnitude (thanks to Starship) while significantly increasing mass to orbit could create new economies and new demand for materials, devices and services on earth that currently do not exist. Going forward, each Starship launch of Starlink is equivalent to min 1 month worth of Falcon 9 launches. After a successful deployment of 26 Starlink V3 satellites on Flight 14, we expect a repeat or potential even larger load of satellites on the next flight (Starship fits up to 60). Each Starlink V3 has 10x the downlink capacity of the v2 mini sats currently launching on Falcon 9 every ~3 days. This means Flight 15 would equate to 1-2+ months of F9 launches." Adam maintained his $300 $SPCX price target.

Pioneer, all right. That's why they're going to be the last airline with satellite Wi-Fi; you can stream video and talk.
Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian in new interview on Delta not adopting @Starlink: "We know what we’re doing in the space, and we’ve been the pioneer in Wi-Fi. We set that standard launching free, fast Wi-Fi that forced the industry to adopt it. We’re happy with where we sit." He said he wasn't worried about being at a competitive disadvantage by not having Starlink. Delta said it will adopt Amazon's LEO satellite internet, but won't start installations until 2028.

Dear friends - I need your help today. My new book is being published this morning. It contains 50 life-changing ideas that impacted me personally, professionally, or financially. I promise if you read the book, you will still be thinking about these ideas for months to come. Order a copy here: amazon.com/How-Live-Extraord… I don't have a large, traditional publisher. I am not doing a bunch of mainstream media interviews to promote the book. Instead, I am counting on the power of the internet, plus the high-quality nature of the book, to kickstart viral word-of-mouth. If you have ever received value from anything I have done, please consider buying a physical copy or getting the audiobook. I appreciate your support in advance.

Elon Musk said he would rename his SpaceXAI company to “SpaceXSI” after President Donald Trump pushed for artificial intelligence to rebrand as “super intelligence.” go.forbes.com/XOh6_8
