I joined @crossmint five months ago to build infra for agentic payments.
It's been a pleasure to work with @alfongj and @rodrifernandezt and the tireless engineers and PMs who do the heavy lifting.
We have the best platform to let agents buy things. Follow along for updates!
SpaceX and Optimus have made major propulsion advances, so the era of the flying car is here. “Flying” mainly means less road friction and more forward speed, not Jetsons-style flight high in the air. That would bring complications with other aircraft, crash risk, and falling debris. These vehicles may stay a moderate height off the ground to gain propulsion, lower friction, and speed. Or simply use forward propulsion to overcome the limitations of ground friction for movement. Whatever the super pursuit mode might be, I’m looking forward to the science.
I’ll enjoy the reaction of people who weren’t impressed by Full Self-Driving and kept asking, “Where are my flying cars?” That day is here. The more likely idea is not true flight but the propulsion itself: forward speed and jet propulsion.
Alpenglow is coming.
"To go from 12 seconds to 400 milliseconds, we took a guess that our idea would work without any proof. Ignorance is bliss."
"A professor from Zurich called me up and said, I'm not 100% sure it worked, but this is how you would actually solve it. We hired him. Two years later, Alpenglow is about to go live."

Honestly, as a United 1k, Emirates is the best in-flight experience hands down. All around the best air product out there… and visiting/working in the UAE is phenomenal. Keep excelling @emirates!

The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations:
We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy.
These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense.
We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

One of the greatest speeches from Jonathan Sachs in 2020 and it is relevant NOW more than ever.
If you’ve never heard this before then I’d recommend just giving 2 and half minutes of your time.
A must listen and share.
May his memory be a blessing.
So sad to hear about the passing of @THErealDVORAK. Father, husband, Friend, journalist, podcaster, tech commentator, and loving curmudgeon. You will be missed by everyone who knew you.
So sorry @adamcurry #inthemourning #noagenda

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
