An exciting week in Washington, D.C., representing @GenAstronautics at @ycombinator 's Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250. We are incredibly thankful for NASA Administrator @rookisaacman @NASAAdmin for taking the time to share his unrelenting belief in the need for American robotic dominance on orbit. Mr. Administrator, we hear you, and we are proud to answer the call. America's Next 250 is the era of superintelligent robotic abundance.

Long Horizon Summit: @GenAstronautics builds robots for in-space operations (because space is labor-limited). By founder @bramschork's math, astronauts spent 3,000 hours on maintenance and repair on the ISS last year. That is about $3 billion of labor.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

least favorite trend is companies releasing utterly useless MCPs to force you to use the prev-gen integrated chatbot on their website

hypothetically if one had ansys and nx and $1M of tokens expiring in December what’s the best way to parallelize agents to get this done? asking for a friend
Currently the number ONE trending repo on GitHub: Reverse Engineer Anything. It lets your agent take a feature you want from another app and work out how it's built without ever seeing the source code. Software is dead, long live software!

It was WEIRD. @bramschork and @rookisaacman sounded like were mind-melded at the @ycombinator event. Bram talked about @GenAstronautics work on super-intelligent robots in space ... and then @NASAAdmin told the whole crowd that what we really need is "robots in space" and "robots on the Moon".

Replying to @jordanbpeterson
You will be held to higher and higher and soon impossible to maintain ethical standards by the very mob you currently wish to please. Then you will make a mistake, and they will devour you. With glee. Please take this warning seriously. I liked you.

tip for any company that has customer service: present your customer support reps with the hours of each department. this week alone I have been stuck in two infinite transfer loops because they didn't realize a support department was closed.

“Always to be best, and to be distinguished above the rest.”
.@SecRubio: "Too often, these days, we build downwards. We design our standards to ensure that no one will lose. We preoccupy ourselves more with the comfort of the worst than the potential of the best. We hold the most exceptional things among us hostage to the average."

ICYMI: @bramschork presented on the Space Founders panel at @ycombinator's Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250 in Washington, D.C. last week. As NASA Administrator @NASAAdmin put it during his fireside chat: “If you're playing around with robotics in space, there's going to be demand, there's going to be national security demands for it.” The time to build robots for space is now. youtu.be/oFC-RqzC0K8?si=2qbM…
