I’m loving this interview with the founders of Farcaster! (And just posted about it on LinkedIn) https://decrypt.co/216826/never-beat-twitter-copying-it-farcaster-co-founder I totally agree you can’t just build a new Twitter & I’m excited to see what folks build on this platform!

49. Zanskar: geothermal mapping for power stuff. 50. Zipline: delivers blood & vaccines & healthcare supplies via drone, including in Africa, Utah, Arkansas, & North Carolina. Huh I guess Andreessen Horowitz considers some people’s health important to the US’s national interest.

47. Vannevar Labs: Google Translate + ChatGPT synopsis for intelligence analysts. Seems useful assuming you can get the LLMs & training data (and security protocols) right. (Though…not sure who all uses air-gapping in this space, or how LLMs work with air-gapped computer processing power…)

45. Synthesis - hmm. AI-powered learning originally designed for Elon Musk’s kids. Hm…what level of influence do I want Elon Musk to have on my (hypothetical future) kids’ curriculum…hm. I mean I guess it’s good they don’t include history or government in the curriculum they teach.

44. Swarm Aero: drone swarms for the military. Cool concept, but…my brother Dan Quinn teaches fluid dynamics like this at the University of Virginia. Is this science at the point of commercialization? (Also yeah, creepy scary bomby swarms now. Cool. Cool cool cool.)

43. Surge AI: cool. AI to help with the “critical stage of reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF).” …I feel like I’d need to have a much more sophisticated, code-level understanding of the competition in this space to evaluate this. Plus, you know. Would want to know their DEI/bias policies.

42. Slingshot Aerospace: cool. Cuz testing in space is expensive to the extent that it kind of defeats the purpose of testing. 46. True Anomaly: assembly lines for satellites. Is the demand for satellites that high? (I have no idea.) 48. WeaveGrid: AI for electric vehicle power grid/demand predictions.

41. Skydio: cool. Camera-equipped drones with infrared capabilities for night flying for rescue missions, use in war zones, etc. I mean very disturbing as part of the Minority Report trend here, but this marketing at least makes it seem like their heart’s in the right place.

40. Shield AI: military/government drone stuff. Wow, bragging about Israeli Defense Forces using your product in the aftermath of Hamas attacks 2locate “civilians and barricaded shooters.” Cuz IDF has been so careful about protecting civilians in Gaza attacks…Interesting marketing choice. SkyNet would be proud.

39. Scale AI: cool - helps companies build their own LLMs. So obviously the big question is what’s their position on DEI & eliminating bias from training data & rules & such.

36. RRAI: um. Open architecture for defense and commercial vehicles. …doesn’t open architecture make it easier to hack things? ...which with defense products would be a bad thing? 37. Saildrone: Sounds like the movie Twister (1996 with Helen Hunt) 38. Saronic Technologies: k cool, ocean boat monitoring stuff

34. Rain Aero: K. Cool. Cameras & AI & stuff to optimize & speed initial wildfire response, including autonomous helicopters. …if you have 1,000 cameras, what density & geographic area are we talking about? 35. Rapid Robotics: out-of-the-box robots for manufacturers. Cool. Seems like a good idea in theory at least.

33. Primer AI: oooh, suuuper creepy & messed up. Minority Report for the military AND Fortune 500 companies. Cuz Fortune 500 companies’ influence on military operations has never been problematic, so let’s give them those capabilities directly. Cool cool cool.

32. Prepared: Smartphone data access for 911 (or 112 in Europe), seems like they have significant market penetration already). I'd love to see them leverage AI to assist with the lack of 911 staff & wait/hold times, but this is cool too. I'd also want it to stop sending data/cuts off access at some point, cuz privacy

31. Parallel Systems: okay so autonomous green trains that avoid switchyards…so are you building your own rail infrastructure to avoid switchyards? I have no idea what bottlenecking looks like in the train (vs. trucking) system.
