Don’t forget to support people trying strange new things. They won’t forget that you did.

You can still instantly tell when an app lacks the human touch. I can't commit my time to something if I see that the creator is not willing to commit theirs.

If you're downtown, just head down All American into Slaughter Pen. Can't go wrong exploring around there. "The Castle" is a fun hub to head to with various options heading off of it. It all connects. Option B would be Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. Option C would be Bella Vista, specifically starting in the Blowing Springs parking lot and heading out on Back 40. Not mutually exclusive if you want some extra peddles.

@shawngorham I'm in Bentonville now. Any way you can ask him what his favorite trail is? I have about 3-4 hours free this afternoon and would like to check it out.

A cycling friend has been in Bentonville all week riding bikes - he has raved about it Are we sleeping on Bentonville?

OpenClaw just launched Mission Control. This changes everything. You can now: → See all agents in one dashboard → Track tasks in Kanban boards → Watch agents talk to each other → Approve actions in real time → Run everything on autopilot It’s your AI command center. Free to set up. Save this video, you’ll stop managing chaos. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

@charles_maddock Can I try it?

ChatGPT's new browser killed Strawberry? Nope, we crush them and every other competitor. We're just getting started.

"Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom."

@bobbyfijan Cool

This is Anduril’s head of product Zero cringe. He’s a just a f***ing badass who was an officer in the 75th Rangers AND went to MIT (and also my brother)

Yes

I’m not exaggerating when I say today is the best day of my life

@AustinMa119728 @oprydai Really?

@oprydai My chips are on that thing ? 🥹

any sufficiently advanced engineering is indistinguishable from art.

Very sad

One week

100% successful. 61/61 drones disabled across 5 operationally-relevant flight scenarios. Capped off by a 49-drone swarm kill. Instantly and safely — all with one burst of electromagnetic interference. Get an exclusive look inside our recent drone swarm demonstration from @axios: axios.com/2025/08/28/epi… Stay tuned for the video release.

Sell the product. Or sell the Mission that sells the product. @epirus could have announced their new generation of defense tech with a press release. Easy, simple. But hardly fitting for something of this magnitude. You don’t work tireless hours to build something revolutionary and then…send a press release. So instead they came to us at @rawmaterialsco. And together we created a website and motion piece that told the story of “The Sixth Domain Doctrine”. Calling for change at the highest levels, it sold the Mission instead of products, and defined a new domain of the battlefield that needed a different mindset and approach to our national defense. An approach for which Epirus is now the leading protagonist. To learn about the Mission, about Epirus, and why it matters to all of us that we get this right, read on here: thesixthdomaindoctrine.com As with everything we work on, this was a big collaboration between our team and our friends at Epirus. One Mission, One Team.

don’t build slot machines don’t fake humans don’t hide the messy truths don’t create black boxes don’t make people feel stupid don’t extract value or attention don’t optimize for vanity metrics don’t gatekeep knowledge don’t make tools that divide don’t sacrifice agency for convenience don’t hold opinions build tools that teach build systems that reveal build for human curiosity, not clicks build bridges, not walls build for the commons build for every unique being build to amplify thought build for the person you once were build for questions we haven’t yet asked build tools that extend imagination build with the love for humanity, for the universe we live in

This isn’t a good thing. Hard is slow for a reason.

At @Meta one of my favorite posters was a picture of a rocking horse that said: "Do not mistake motion for progress."

There is so much opportunity right now in making AI Agents real for enterprises. The models pack insane capabilities, but to get them into the middle of an enterprise workflow requires significant scaffolding, domain understanding, and context engineering. This is the play.

@pete_mathias Good call. We’re working on some things at @rawmaterialsco with a few clients that will answer this call.

This was my second ReIndustrialize. Amazing (perhaps best) conference. But a voice is missing. We all focus on PROCESS but it was a PRODUCT IDEA (the car) that made Detroit. The assembly line scaled it. Where are the artists, designers, and visionaries imagining what’s next?
