thanks to FT for featuring Atomic, and many other michigan companies working hard to reindustrialize. it's clear americans believe that we can't forget how to make things at home, but the *how* is a matter of time, policy, tech, and will that requires heavy alignment.

Alisa reminder: Steven Simoni is hiring at Allen Control Systems systems x.com/_alisawu/statu…

BTW Alisa besides ai machineguns, we also sell shirts Get yours at: if it flies it dies dot com

you could work on b2b saas or you could work on this:

Reposting this for everyone’s interest. AI for powder rheology when?

We’re hiring for machine learning, embedded systems, firmware, electrical, and mechanical engineering roles at Allen Control Systems systems. We’re based in Austin, Texas. We shoot down drones. Enjoy the weekend!

I don’t have to imagine it I am so proud of the team at Allen Control Systems systems whose extremely hard work will save countless lives We’re always looking for talented people so if you want to come shoot down drones with us - apply!

the biggest issue in moving reindustrialization forward faster is that young engineering talent and old head manufacturing trade talent are oceans apart and can't do knowledge transfer fast enough

the second lab leak is gonna be the last one huh

many people still don't think we need to manufacture t-shirts and toasters here, but as noah points out, the parts and components that we need for drones are the same supply chains. will we reverse the trend and elevate suppliers over OEMs in time?

I'm so proud of the team at Allen Control Systems systems and grateful we can serve our warfighters at USSOCOM

In the Cold War we were worried about the Missile Gap, which was highly exaggerated Now we are not paying enough attention to the Robot Gap, which is extremely real

congrats Sahaj Sharda and The Antifraud Company on the launch!

Good ideas nt and Dhruva Rajendra

Devastating to see this at AES in Tennessee. Everyone is feared dead. These guys work so hard and take on so much risk to produce munitions for American warfighters.

people don't realize that applied AI in manufacturing is actually just real cybernetics and will produce enormous companies that have genuine network effect scaling potential. tag yourself if you're working on part of this. i'll start (the whole thing is me)

We should build man-made islands for observational purposes around Latin America The Chinese did this with Mischief Reef in the Philippines:

Patriot

i appreciate eric incanting reindustrialize, but this is the #1 tell of any AI exec/figurehead, if they knew AI could leapfrog china's industrial base transmuting tokens into atoms we'd be pouring trillions into building our own. again "advanced manufacturing" is a misnomer.

VCs will have partners from both sides of the aisle just like lobbying firms, a logical progression of tech and policy becoming commingled. Sequoia ahead of the curve.
