There's been a lot of marketing fluff and vapor demos in robotics, but @JasonMa2020's recent interview shows the industry is moving toward real deployments. @DynaRobotics

You tend to conveniently leave out that Europeans, on top of the already high income taxes, pay VAT taxes of 20%-25% on every single product and service they use or purchase. Everything from visits to hair salons and car mechanics to groceries to cars and electronics. 💶💶💶

The Texas u-turn overpass is absolutely brilliant.
It's a crude first attempt, but expect robosecurity to become a big market: autonomous, agentic patrols at a fraction of the cost of human guards.
Those robodogs (probably Unitree Go2s) are from @getundaunted in Atlanta, running them as a patrol service. ~$3K/mo gets you two dogs plus 8 hrs/day of remote monitoring. My guess: teleoperated, not autonomous, with a human on the line to talk through the dog or call police.

🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely WILD footage has emerged from Atlanta where an apartment complex now uses "robot security dogs" to patrol the area at night.
The robot dogs also seem to speak in Indian accents to the residents.
I've never seen anything like this before... insane!!!

Robot patent race is absolutely bonkers. @Figure_robot 100 US patents in 18 months. @AgilityRobotics 46, @Apptronik 15, while @Tesla added 3 robot-related to their 600+ arsenal (US filings only)

I do think that if a Beto-like candidate that didn't look like a teenage boy with a punchable face run on the D side this time it could have been close (=under 2% difference). But it will probably be closer to 3% as Paxton was already known and decently respected as TX AG.

Talarico is a Dollar Store Beto. Infinitely less excitement among Texas Ds than Beto. Not sure why you’re even spending time on him as it’s not going to happen. Bookmark this tweet.

I don’t know the details of what happened but I do know that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has been a heavy hitter on Trump’s maritime policy initiatives has been sniped or sidelined.
I’m not going through the entire list again but you can search my previous posts.
You can also find the posts where I met with Guilfoyle at DOT for major maritime and shipbuilding partnership with South Korea and Greece.
Greece owns more ships than any other country and China owns several key ports in Greece. My sources say Guilfoyle has been doing fantastic work aligning those interests with the United States.
I don’t know what’s going on but there are way too planted stories and dead bodies in the past two years not to think someone or some entity is trying to undermine Trump’s historic new maritime policies.
And she’s not the only one. The maritime lead at the NSC was recently moved elsewhere and another KEY player tracking shadow tankers and sanctions (who I can’t mention) was pushed out after a fake-news leak.
And it’s no secret that Trump’s maritime policies have deeply upset two entities greatly: the London shipping cabal surrounding the UN’s @IMOHQ and China

Not happening. And only the most online, absolutely tiny segment of Texas voters came across the recent rumors. Irrelevant to the result. Bank it.

Oh they do. And Isaiah and all other investors acted accordingly. You can’t sit and whine that “it’s not fair” when you didn’t play ball.

Oh no! Pepper spray is horrible and women can use to defend themselves. Can’t have that!

Second wettest September on record apparently. Kyoto had much better weather mid-September while Tokyo was from one typhoon to the next.

Can’t argue for summer. No contest. Greece in February though is miserable.
