“So, how much faster can you build a survivable structure in the field versus The equivalent that the military would build. Talking days, months, weeks, you tell us.”

“Yeah, so this concrete slurry that you use in the 3D printer, we saw it on the screen just a moment ago, it looks like you tend to do walls that are what, 12, 18 inches thick. And then what could they survive if a drone hit it? I'm assuming the people inside survive or the tank inside survives because there's a foot or two of concrete. Yeah.”

“We have some discount codes and the best live questions. I'm going to pay for applaud for free, but you got to ask a great question either on X or on YouTube or the LinkedIn account. So we'll check all of those. All right, Jason, let's talk about that for deployment. It looked like you were building barracks or storage there. So my understanding is when we are in a conflict or we need to have a presence, they pop up tense. And these kind of semi permanent structures, a little more than a tent, but obviously a lot less than a building. And based on what I know about material science, which is very little. The bullets, and these new drones, when they hit a tent, a canvas based on my Boy Scout memories, is not going to help you when a drone comes in, correct?”

“Right, we'll get right back to what you're doing in terms of for deployment, the use cases, and then we'll go to space. First, I want to start Lawn by applauding Plot. You just hit my plot. I'm recording. I've got all of my notes taken care of. Taken memo, I'm going to unload. On the one person who screwed me in the last five years, it's been a while since somebody got over on JCal and got over on me for about 500 times 500 boxes of Zidi. Not fun. But I'm going to balance the ledger at the end of the show. So I gave myself a note about that. If you want to keep track of your enemies, of the people who screw you.”

“What are they? Because, I mean, obviously, building faster cost for the military is not as important as for the single mom or dad we talked about earlier who's trying to make a living. But speed, I would think.”

“A great point if you think about the correlation between depression, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, obesity, domestic violence, crime, all of these things. There is literally studies that have been made last producer Glaud to pull it up. There have been countless studies made that show, that have been done that once you get past 30 or 40 minutes in a commute, these things dramatically increase. And when you get to over an hour commute, it's like this couple is getting divorced because think about it, if mom or dad are taking this, you know, this hour and a half commute to get to work, they get home an hour and 15 minutes, now they've been in a car for two hours and 45 minutes after working for an eight, nine, ten hour shift. Man, what's left? What's left for the fam? Not much.”

“Out of Americans. And the dialogue continues to be jobs, economic uncertainty, and that this is going to get out of control. And we can't control the demon we're waking up. That's not who we need in my estimation, Lawn, leading the charge for technology today. We need to imagine as entrepreneurs a single mom or dad with two kids. Makes 60, 70, 80K a year. On average, American makes 67,000. So let's put it at 80K. They're working a weekend job and a full-time job. And what do they want for their family? What do any of us want? A roof over our heads, a good education? Some healthy food, right?”

“Jason's a great entrepreneur, icon 3D homes, stunningly beautiful. I thought, I don't know about this model, and then I saw the homes. And, you know, once you see the homes, they're gorgeous. And there are three problems in society right now. And I did a little tweet about this earlier today. Just total serendipity, Jason. I was on fire this morning because it's all this bad news coming out about AI, right? And if you think about who our top two spokespersons are, Sam Altman, we just had a 270,000 word article in the New Yorker explaining he's a sociopath from every partner he's ever had, apparently. I'll let people make their own decision there. He kind of admits he's had some challenges. And then you have Dario on the other side. And these are two hyper competent people, but they are scaring the bejesus, speaking of Jesus.”

“It's Friday, April 17th. This is Twist. I am on fire today. Lon, we've got an amazing docket. We do. You look great. Before we do anything, I just want to take a moment to applaud Claude.

FJCO a year ago and thought he would get away with it but JCow has a two-step process in which no revenge I'm not a vengeful person you know that Lon, but I'm going to balance the ledger I got effed for 500k”
