The Defense Tech Startup YC Kicked Out of a Meeting is Now Arming America | E2280

Zuckerberg has decided I'd rather have more machines than people. We're going into a doomsday scenario because of AI. The race is afoot. So there's a race to become relevant in about twenty four months. And I think we're gonna see a lot of multi deca billion dollar companies come out of these next few years. One person's, like, infinite money glitch opportunity is another person's distraction. There's an infinite number of problems in the world to be solved. It's gonna be fine, folks.
