Thank you to everyone from @DHSgov, @StateDept, and others for hosting the TERC training in Vallejo, CA.
It was great leading team Physical RL at the @NousResearch hackathon last Sunday. Very technically-dense hackathon with a ton of smart people in one room from many startups, xAI, Meta, and more-- which is expected for @cerebral_valley co-hosted events. Also, best merch design of any research institution (we need to step out game up at CSX Labs)

It was great attending the 2025 National Security Hackathon with team AMIS. Want to thank @cerebral_valley for hosting at @SHACK15sf, and the sponsors @StanfordGKC, @ShieldCapVC, IQT (In-Q-Tel), @scale_AI, @VannevarLabs, @NATO's innovation fund (NIF) as well as the data/compute sponsors our team used: @AnthropicAI, Code Metal, and @Maxar. I also want to thank all of the mentors that were there to help us define our project: a Maritime Intelligence System for anomaly detection using AIS data which we are currently building upon with other sources to detect AIS spoofing (ex. the Tae Yang incident), resource smuggling (ex. Houthi fuel smuggling before the Ras Isa strike), and other foreign Maritime activity.
The Riff early access program is still open. We have an exciting announcement next week regarding a partnership we just signed to make our platform even b better ;)
Great episode with Jensen.
