The future is usually less good than you hoped for, and less bad than you feared.
This is a much bigger deal than most people realize, and it’s 100% the future of warfare.

Ukraine has started daily combat use of AI attack drones.
Once launched, they find targets, track them, and strike on their own, even after jamming cuts the pilot’s signal.
This is how autonomous killing entered the war — NYT. 1/

A year and a half ago, my colleagues and I set out to change the conversation in DC on drones. We weren't alone, but there were only a few dozen of us calling for action. I'm happy to announce that combined with the NDAA last year, that action started.

We need to change the conversation around tariffs and trade into one focused on long term policy - aggregatejeff.com/post/78029…

Many will disagree, so I’ve dived into how decades of deeply flawed “free” trade policy caused the US to lose the drone wars and how it’s dragged down both our ability to innovate as well as defend our nation. (4/x)

Key takeaways:
1. Free trade only works if we have free trade. We didn’t, and don’t. The US tied its hands behind its back, took punches, and didn’t respond. The working class understood this far better than the elites, who looked the other way because they benefitted. (5/x)

This is great! I'm not lining up to try it until it's been out for a while due to potential systemic effects, but this is exactly the sort of thing we need to do to drive bio-innovation forward at a faster rate. (1/2)

A similar thing can be done with deodorant (ie, certain bacterial populations produce less odor than others), and there's a company waiting to be formed there. (Side note - antiseptics like benzoyl peroxide or chlorhexidine are effective long-acting deodorants).

Declining American manufacturing capacity (due largely to poor trade policy) has multiple implications, but the degradation of our ability to defend ourselves in modern warfare is one of the worst. It's great to see Mike Bloomberg and others highlight it. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

There’s some selection bias here, but it’s an interesting thought.

Happy to announce that Guardian just became the first eVTOL authorized by the FAA to operate nationwide!
Drones are becoming popular among commercial farmers given a lack of pilots willing to spray crops. trib.al/y7cqN7u

Most people in the US don’t appreciate just how good Hyundai / Kia have become at EV manufacturing. 70% battery fill in 24min. 5000lb towing. Three rows. L3 autonomy. 40% less than a Tesla. It’s the first true consumer friendly electric. engadget.com/kias-ev9-electr…

This story highlights the single biggest obstacle to EV adoption - local bureaucracy. Installing a charger, at his own house, took 2.5 years and hundreds of hours of lobbying. If you want electrification, you need infrastructure. It's that simple. boston.com/news/the-boston-g…

There's a reason building in the US cost so much more than the rest of the world (vox.com/22534714/rail-roads-…), and it's not labor costs, it's local government. A massive cut to local regulation is needed for us to decarbonize, or even to evolve at all.

This will lead to capital flight to the majors and decimate small banks. *All* bank deposits should be FDIC guaranteed. Not bank equity, but deposits. This should be paired with a means of clawing back returns to equity / debt holders from banks that took on excess risk. 2/2

Regarding the last inflation report "Rising prices meant a loss in real pay for workers. Average hourly earnings fell 0.2% for the month and were down 1.8% from a year ago" is the only thing the Fed cares about. Inflation is self-limiting if wages don't rise.
