Tasklet is an epic product, congrats @startupandrew
Today, I’m excited to share we’ve raised an additional $12.8M at a $500M valuation.
Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, Dots, etc are great for consumers, but businesses need more if they want to delegate real responsibilities to AI.
@TaskletAI is built with collaboration, automation, security, and control at its core, and our model-agnostic harness & cloud infrastructure gives you the best value for every AI dollar you spend.
Investors in the round include @usv, @359Capital, @salil, @RakeshAgrawal, $RVI, @patrickc and others.

Way to go @reinpk
I’m super excited share that @MIT-trained aerospace engineer and serial entrepreneur Peter Reinhardt @reinpk has committed $1M to the @FermiExplorer mission to send humanity’s first spacecraft to another star! 💫
Find out how you can get involved and contribute at FermiExplorer.org 🤓
And thanks so much for your generosity and time, Peter, welcome aboard!! 🙏😃🚀

Super cool concept
I wrote an essay about why the next frontier for AI is the world outside the data center
Nature is a system more complex than anything we've ever created
AI can learn how the system fits together, so we can finally understand how to shape it
How?

Brilliant idea. Let’s take money from the world’s best capital allocators and pump it into a $72B fraud machine.
Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts.
I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The proposed ballot proposition actually imposes a minimum of 5% (not 1% per post) one time tax on billionaires, even on unrealized gains.

We are going to red-pill all the builders. Keep it up.
For USA to thrive, we have to overcome govt idiocy - small and medium businesses that are now vast-majority-right have been dealing with this unfair BS for decades with nobody to speak for them, especially in CA.

Absurd regulations are strangling hard tech startups with only negative outcomes for society

Peter Reinhardt is one of the best founders I’ve ever met. We must take action to reduce regulatory overhead and enable engineers like him to solve problems for our country.
My lobbyists are very nervous about me posting this, but over-regulation is working against us all. The costs are astronomical to us all, but hidden.
So, I'm taking a risk, and sharing my stories from Charm and Revoy:

“One regulator wanted to add $100,000 of extra certification testing per engine family … a total of $27m extra certification for the (electric truck) startup. And keep in mind that this is to certify that a device—whose sole reason for existence is to cut pollution by >90%, and which has demonstrably done so across nearly 100,000 miles of testing and operations.”

“We couldn’t get engagement from the unit” brutal
This whole article makes me want to cry. And then it makes me want to scream.

I literally have @taskletai filling out this launch form for me using computer use right now, while I do other things
Very cool!

Largest civil aerial firefighting fleet in the world 🔥
Last week, CAL FIRE announced that the second of our seven C-130H airtanker conversions was ready for action–adding to the largest civil aerial firefighting fleet in the world. 💪
The fleet is positioned across California to reach the most remote areas of the state in 20 minutes or less. Our C-130H air tankers are a powerful firefighting tool, delivering 4,000 gallons of fire retardant per flight.
The five CAL FIRE airbases that will be home to C-130H’s are: Ramona, Paso Robles, Fresno, McClellan, and Chico.
