always shipping. two things live right now: → new landing page just dropped → running pilots with Part 139 airports see what we're building:

@ San Francisco Introducing Open Campus. The last room you’ll build in before your first check. This summer, 200 of the most ambitious founders we could find are building at Founders, Inc. Next week, we’re opening a new part of our Fort Mason campus to 50 more founders builders each night. Daily 5-10pm. 50 spots/night. Comment what you’re building for an invite to our first session.

GTFOL. get the f**k off localhost. That was the message at founders inc this week and it hit, because it's exactly how alex and i have always operated. This week we shipped valanor v1. autonomous drone running realtime camera data to do perimeter zoning and mapping in gps and comms-denied environments. built for critical infrastructure and defense. Nobody is counting how many times you ship/launch. We would rather put valanor in front of real operators rough than sit on something polished nobody's touched. Go ship something! @StrvxRobotics. strive for more.

Just got back from @REK's first fight night and the launch of their new robot. Humanoid robots in full-contact combat, piloted live in VR. Real Steel, made real. A wild perk of being a part of @fdotinc is a ringside invite to the future of combat sports. #REK

EXCLUSIVE: Two UCSD students built a layered drone intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system in one weekend at the SIC x DS3 x Bow Capital Defense Hackathon. The system runs at the edge and uses a leader-follower drone architecture, with one drone providing broader situational awareness while the second supports target tracking and identification. The team also built voice-control functionality for mission commands. The team won 1st place in the hardware track.

This past weekend my team placed 2nd at the Google I/O Hackathon in San Francisco. We built SkyGuardian, using drones and Gemini to help search and rescue teams find people and hazards faster. The DJI Mavic handles aerial detection. The DJI Tello operates on voice commands. Both feed into a local knowledge graph that tracks survivors, hazards, and landmarks across frames.

Back to back YC hackathons. One weekend in SF. Walked away with Garry Tan's number. Grinded out 2 back to back YC hackathons this weekend. Saturday: WatchDog. Basically, Palantir aimed at SF. AI watches public street cameras, builds a knowledge graph of the city's crime, and predicts and flags incidents before they happen. Sunday: Handle. An agent that runs an entire property maintenance pipeline end to end. didn't place. But we demoed WatchDog to Garry after, and he said it was impressive, gave us his number. The part that stuck wasn't the build. It was what Garry and the YC partners told us. VCs are mostly guessing, too. Nobody actually knows what the next big thing is. So building toward whatever looks fundable is backwards. Find the one thing you can't stop thinking about, take it to the edge of what's technically possible, and go all in like nothing else exists. back on the 30th. can't go 0-4 for YC hackathons.

Every week, I talk to a business owner who bought an AI tool and stopped using it within a month. Not because the tool was bad. Because nobody set it up to actually fit their workflow. They got a chatbot when they needed a pipeline. A dashboard when they needed automation. A demo when they needed infrastructure. The model isn't the hard part anymore. The hard part is making it run, stay running, and do something useful at 2 am when nobody's watching. That's the layer we're building at strvx. Two client systems are deployed. Product in market. More coming. strvx. strive for more.

Anthropic built an AI so good at hacking that they are afraid to release it. Then they accidentally leaked it. What Anthropic confirmed on the record: → They are testing a new model with early-access customers → Called it "a step change" and "the most capable we've built to date." → Major advances in coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity → A CMS misconfiguration exposed ~3,000 unpublished internal assets What the leaked internal docs reveal: → The model is called "Claude Mythos" → New tier above Opus called "Capybara" — bigger, smarter, more expensive → Dramatically higher scores than Opus 4.6 across the board → So far ahead in cyber capabilities, they're giving defenders early access before public release → Too expensive to run for general access right now → Also exposed: a private CEO retreat at an 18th-century English manor where Dario Amodei will demo unreleased Claude capabilities Anthropic labeled the docs "early drafts of content considered for publication."

spoke with a family friend running a business. asked how they track their customers. “we write it down” it’s 2026. AI can automate your entire intake, follow-up, and invoicing pipeline. and half the city is still running on sticky notes that’s why strvx exists.

nvidia just mass validated what we've been building at strvx nemoclaw makes openclaw safe to deploy custos makes it simple to use nvidia built the engine. we're building the car. 99% of business owners will never open a terminal. they just want an AI agent that works. that's the gap.

AI agents are everywhere right now. OpenClaw is open source, runs 24/7, and can actually do real work for your business. The problem? Setting it up requires a VPS, SSH, config files, node, and ongoing maintenance. 95% of business owners will never get past step one. So we built Custos. We spin up a dedicated OpenClaw instance on your own private server. Your data never leaves your environment. You get a dashboard to talk to your agent, set up tasks, and configure automations. No terminal. No devops. No CS degree required. We handle the infra. You just use the agent.

Always updating worldmonitor.app with ideas that make sense to me. - An improved CMD K for power users - Started at Sorting Signal from Noise: "AI Forecasts" combs through real-time data to give you a weighted forecast on the world. Still early, but promising. - Added Supply Chain monitoring to track the world's critical corridors, shipping rates, and freight indices. I'll keep monitoring the world, beyond the war. @worldmonitorai
