One of the great things about the SpaceX IPO is that Gwynne Shotwell is now a billionaire. She’s earned it.

This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America. First thoughts: 1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology. 2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead. We must keep these two ideas in mind. What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you? We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100 billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses. Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there. Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

Fully autonomous AI-controlled drones have killed human soldiers for the first time. In a significant development in modern warfare, Ukraine conducted a one-off test in which ten AI-powered “Terminator” quadcopters operated completely without human oversight and carried out lethal strikes. The test took place near Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar roughly two years ago. The drones were programmed to fly into a designated area, autonomously search for targets, and destroy anything they identified. Drone developer Alexander Kokhanovskyy, who supplied the technology, confirmed the drones flew “out of the loop” with no real-time human connection or video feed. Post-mission reconnaissance by human-piloted drones confirmed casualties, including several enemy soldiers and at least one vehicle. While Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence has not issued an official comment and maintains restrictions on fully autonomous lethal targeting, this test marks the clearest reported instance yet of machines independently selecting and engaging human targets on the battlefield. The event has intensified global debate over the ethics and regulation of lethal autonomous weapons systems. Critics, including United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, warn that removing human judgment from lethal decisions could dehumanize conflict and violate international humanitarian law. Proponents argue such systems may become inevitable as technology advances. This remains a rare and experimental case rather than standard practice, but it signals how quickly autonomous capabilities are progressing in real-world combat.

building GPS-denied autonomy isn't magic!! it’s meticulous, messy, and filled with experiments!! here👇we were figuring out, whats wrong with z-axis accuracy and why was the drone subtly losing height after certain points! eventually did figure out .. some BTS (~1.5 years back) on mule drone imp learning: building advanced autonomy requires patience, precision & perseverance to test till this day ...🫡 kudos to my team @VecrosTech for pushing the boundaries this is how we build, one tough test at a time 🫡💪
