Congratulations, you achieved failure. Thank God. Failure has been achieved.
Now, the only place to go from failure is to win. You have to take it that far. That’s where winning is.

You need to go all the way.

Had the chance to meet the acting Influencer of Army EOD @EODHappyCaptain today at the EOD Memorial Ceremony, where he was the keynote poaster for the event.
He made a fantastic post about what it means to be EOD, something he has personally done.

@USWREMichael is leading the most consequential vendor negotiation in generations. The U.S. has the world’s best AI companies. We need them to avoid the next major war. Or, win decisively if the enemy is not deterred.
Department of War CTO@DoWCTO
Under Secretary Emil Michael (@USWREMichael) on the @DeptofWar's new agreement with seven frontier AI companies and the importance of not relying on a single vendor: "What we've learned since we started this effort at the Department of War is that it's irresponsible to be reliant on any one partner... We went out and made sure that we had multiple different providers... we got them to agree and sign up to work with us on classified networks to make sure we had diversity of supply, we had the best of the best, and we had multiple different paths with open-source and proprietary [models]."

The factory walk thru with Dan Magy is nice
TBPN@tbpn
.@Firestorm_labs is building fully 3D-printed, modular drones with swappable payloads that are designed to be cheap and easy to repair in the field. Alongside them is the xCell, a mobile, containerized factory that turns raw powder into finished drone parts on-site. Firestorm CEO @DanMagy gives us a tour live on TBPN:

Give our Navy and Marine Corps an unfair advantage.

The time is now. To our industry partners—what you develop right now will save lives, America’s sons and daughters. Thank you for answering the call. Let’s move forward together to ensure our @USMC-@USNavy team has what it needs to fight and win today and tomorrow.

The most self-aware thing you can ask yourself right now is: “do I need some leverage?”
And then run it down

Drones built for warfare will evolve along three key dimensions:
1) Mass (swarms)
2) Speed (rocket engines)
3) Stealth (choice of geometry, materials)

Love this. Use American financialization power to industrialize. Ironic but may be the only way right now.

I bet you've heard of DEAL Team SIX. You *LOVE* the idea of DEAL Team SIX. Giga-scale reindustrialization projects are an amazing thing that can save our country. …if we can get it done. Here's what DEAL Team SIX looks for: You’re expanding national security and industrial base capacity in a critical technology You require low-cost capital to make it happen or to make it scale on the needed timeline (i.e. true additionality) You have a clear, credible path to servicing the debt with revenue that *does not* come from the US federal government. (Sales to state and foreign governments do not count, e.g. SLED) You structure it as a bankable, asset-backed, creditworthy investment by the American taxpayer. You’re accelerating the deployment and scale of critical technology *far beyond* what just the markets can do. That’s what DEAL Team SIX wants. Which way, American builder? 🇺🇸

Make Rain
TBPN@tbpn
Rainmaker’s @ADoricko says 10x’ing cloud seeding operations in Utah could accelerate refilling the Great Salt Lake, and he’s aiming to bring the Colorado River back to 1920 levels by 2031: "We have operations for the Bear River, which is the primary tributary into the Great Salt Lake right now. If we were to 10x our operations, we could radically accelerate the timeline for reversing the eradication of, and refilling, the lake." "We might get to see some participation at the federal level in cloud seeding because it's the only way to produce net-new water for the lake. That's an interesting project not just because the lake is a piece of national American heritage, not just because it's something that the ski industry in Utah depends on, not just because if the lake aridifies you end up with toxic arsenic getting kicked up like in the Salton Sea, but also it's the training wheels for what an interstate weather modification project would look like for the Colorado River." "Rainmaker's goal, to call a shot publicly, is to get the Colorado River back to its 1920 supply levels by 2031. That will mean about 8 million more acre-feet of water down. A lot of that will come from cloud seeding, and some of it will come from other technologies we're looking at right now."
