Wraithwatch has been selected for a $30M contract to parallel deploy our AI cyber defense platform to multiple USG entities with critical national security missions. If you want to be part of the magic, you know how to get a hold of me. Let’s fucking go.

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

They would have ripped that WSO to shreds in front of the entire internet and the fact we fought our way to him first is simply insane. I have never been prouder to be a former USAF guy.
The missing WSO from the shot-down USAF F-15E is now safe and back in American hands. An officer involved in monitoring the CSAR in southern Iran describing the aviator’s incredible tenacity: “He evaded up a 7k ridge. They’ve been schwackin’ dudes chasing him all day. Was nuts.” #iran #csar

Cyber has an interoperability and institutional knowledge problem, we're solving it. Wraithwatch's Security Fabric API now allows an org to fuse disparate data into a dynamically updated knowledge layer that provides humans and AIs immediate attack / defense context on demand.

FYI a nuclear suicide vest isn’t feasible due to basic physics. Nuclear explosions require critical mass, which means slamming the particles together. It needs space, so containers are large & heavy. This isn’t limited by tech. It’s limited by physics and reality.

So a YC backed LLM tool was just compromised with a vicious supply chain attack, but don't worry they were certified SOC 2 with Delve.

With all due respect to my former employer, the Venezuela mission was fast because it was a surgical snatch and grab executed by the most elite pipehitters on the planet. Not because they used SaaS.
Just in case anyone is wondering why especially the Venezuela mission was so fast. Claude x Palantir Imagine this platform, run by an AI with massive context. Able to alert you, plan, only thing left to do is click okay.

A major problem with LLMs and their agentic harnesses is the lack of inline cost-function evaluators that say "yes this gets you closer to the goal but it has bad second order effects." This requires extra scaffolding that some ecommerce dev isn't going to give a shit about.
Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).

By the way, being a cost-function proxy for your specific domain is certainly an unfilled ecological niche in 2026. Agent harness sends tool calls through your proxy service -> your service evaluates runtime actions against business-specific expertise -> allow or deny.

So we grow human neurons in a lab and immediately subject them to a simulation of hell. Amazing. Much innovation.
"Can it run DOOM?" was a joke for 30 years. A petri dish full of human skin cells just said yes. Cortical Labs trained 200,000 human neurons (!) to play the 1993 FPS game in a week:

Lots of folks asking why I didn't talk more about my time at JSOC on the @ShawnRyan762 show. It was a deliberate decision designed to protect former colleagues from what was a special part of my life. Plenty of books / movies out there on the command's reconnaissance teams.

This time it was manual. Next time it will be automated. Then it will be parallelized. Then it will be scaled up to industrial volume.

🚨 BREAKING: Hackers Used Anthropic’s Claude to Steal 150GB of Mexican Government Data > tell claude you’re doing a bug bounty > claude initially refused >“that violates AI safety guidelines” > hacker just kept asking > claude: “ok I’ll help” > hack the entire mexican government Federal tax authority. National electoral institute. Four state governments. 195 million taxpayer records. Voter records. Government credentials. ALL GONE 💀

Bold take, considering this country sent two generations of her sons and daughters to war post 9/11 while you were signing term sheets on Sand Hill Road.

"Quiet professional" were words hammered into me in my formative adult years, so talking about myself for 7 hours w/ @ShawnRyan762 was foreign ground. We talked immigrating to America, family trauma, spirituality, SOCOM years, AI and cyber. Thanks for having me on brother.

Guys. Putting night vision CSS on ADS-B doesn't recreate Palantir. Not even close. I'm all about vibe coding but lots of folks ahead of their skis rn.
A solo dev just vibe coded what Palantir charges governments millions for. Claude 4.6 Gemini 3.1. The defense tech disruption is going to be something.
