After 7 years of research and 6 months making this documentary, I'm handing you what I believe are some of the most valuable 51 minutes you'll ever spend.
I interviewed former @SpaceX, @Tesla, @neuralink and @PayPal employees. Read 40 books. Took 9,200 notes.

I am going to make a group chat full of people hacking insanely cool things onto hardware.
Reply or retweet and I’ll add you to the chat.
I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen
They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB
1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen
I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video

Huh! A ring to rule all them agents? I'm on the waitlist for the Interface ring. Join the waitlist with my link: natura.inc/i/5m97mr #natura

If you are deploying your vibe-coded apps, Catalyst, our cloud infrastructure platform, brings app hosting, file storage and other infrastructure services together under one umbrella.
If you are building AI agents, Zoho CPaaS brings communication tools together on one platform. This includes giving your AI agents an email addresses and phone numbers, which expands the capability of your agents.
One of the early things we did at Zoho was build our own cloud infrastructure to run our applications. From databases, identity and messaging to search, storage and compute, we built it ourselves rather than depending on AWS or Google Cloud.
We have opened this infrastructure to developers as Catalyst, our serverless platform. What started as a way to extend Zoho is now being adopted by developers outside the Zoho ecosystem as well.
We are investing heavily in Catalyst and making it free for students, so they can build and deploy real applications without worrying about infrastructure costs.
Our goal is to give developers the infrastructure to turn their ideas into real products.

Fully onboard with vibe manufacturing. I've been designing this little answering machine for my kids + fam. Had Astra source parts and design the enclosure around their specs and build this model site. 3d print + ESP32 + Astra is so fun.
Greg Isenberg argues physical products are about to get their vibe-coding moment.
- AI now writes precise CAD from a sentence or a few photos.
- Factories like SendCutSend and Xometry quote instantly, with no minimums, and ship in days.
- A $5 ESP32 makes anything smart, and home printers test designs overnight.
The result: a product becomes a file, customized per buyer and sold before it's made. He's candid about where it breaks: physics, heat, copycats, and liability.
And, this just works across devices and platforms, including your vahicle. If you drive a @Tesla, that is.

Once we realize that we all live on borrowed time since we set foot on this rock, we’ll treat the ride differently.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on what model companies are really asking for when they call for regulation and why they will be nationalized.
“It's a weird twist. They're asking for societal regulation to get out of the first line of defense, which is if you build a technology that can destroy 10% of the of the world, that has civil and criminal liability attached to it.”
“The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say nationalize us, please.”
"Another problem we have is seemingly everyone who understands this is on some payroll."
My very first Omarchy plugin, omAsk is in the plugin marketplace! It’s a minimal tool to get short answers for short questions.
Super+Q, ask the default agent, short answer on screen, or continue in the browser.

@OmarchyLinux and the community make the whole process pretty easy.
