Molly is an absolutely amazing interviewer. If you get a chance to be on her show - go! She dives deep, and has great energy.
Thank you for having me on. It was a huge honor.

For a long time I've been teaching a self-extending design system to generate aerospace hardware from pure physics no CAD, just code and constraints. Tonight I hooked my CEM up to Fusion 360 via MCP after a design and it rebuilt it! Real feature trees a machinist can open, edit, and cut toolpaths from. The system that designs in code can now speak the language of every shop floor on Earth. So to answer if you can transfer your @leap_71 work to CAD. Yes, you can.

Imagine a world where engineering breakthroughs happen faster and more affordably. I’ve developed an AI system that designs real, manufacturable machines in record time, revolutionizing how we build. Your support can keep this innovation alive. Please share and donate to help fuel this change. All of your donations go to my CEM and I will continue to build.

FIFA is a boomer org
Let’s give FIFA the 🖕🏽 and build a new org that actually plays fair…. Also the World Cup trophy looks like something a child made in kindergarten play dough hour .
We should send the game ball to orbit with the flag of the winner attached.

@_Faraz @MediaKing @datarade @AngelList Ok, your angel investments are cool and all… but how did you not lose money on a car since 99? What cars were you buying?

10 years ago, I wanted to become an "angel investor." Signed up for AngelList when syndicates first came out in 2014.
Invested about $300K from 2014-2019 across 53 deals. Backed the best names and top syndicates on the platform.
IRR: 7.8% 💀💀💀

@_Faraz @aryangovil There are other tracks that are not the ring. As stated bothe are incredible machines.

@_Faraz @aryangovil Sounds like you should have kept the GT2, would have been a solid $$ win. The AMG GT Black is an incredible machine, you are allowed to like both, but it does not smoke the GT2…. Damn close though which is certainly impressive!
