First of all, Andral would not have started with that passion.
And two, Andral today would be a year behind where we are now.
And with the situation in Taiwan being so critical...
with countries like Israel and Ukraine going through what they're going through, I can't imagine being a year behind where we are now.
I would feel really bad about it.
I wish I had started a year earlier.
Thank you.
This has been a blast.
In the early hours of a massive surprise invasion of Taiwan, China unleashes its full arsenal. Ballistic missiles rain down on key military installations, neutralizing air bases and command centers before Taiwan can fire a single shot. The People's Liberation Army Navy moves in with overwhelming force, deploying amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers, while cyberattacks cripple Taiwan's infrastructure and prevent emergency response.
The Chinese rocket forces' long-range missiles shred through our defenses. Ships, command and control nodes and critical assets are destroyed before they can even engage. The United States attempts to respond, but it quickly becomes clear. We don't have enough. Not enough weapons. Not enough platforms to carry those weapons. American warships, too slow and too few, sink to the bottom of the Pacific under anti-ship missile swarms.
MeidÀn polttoaineistomme, jonka polttoaineistot ovat vahvistuneita, mutta ihmisiÀ polttoaineistoja, on vahvistettu yhdessÀ. Yhdysvalloissa on vahvistettu vahvistunut polttoaineistot yli viisi pÀivÀÀ. TÀÀllÀ on viikkoja, kun maailma ilmestyy uuteen todellisuuteen, jossa maailman suurempi vahvistus ei ole enÀÀ demokraatia.
This is the war US military analysts fear most. Not just because of outdated technology or slow decision making, but because our lack of capacity, our sheer shortage of tools and platforms means we can't even get into the fight.
When China invades Taiwan, the consequences will be global. Taiwan is the undisputed epicenter of the world's chip supply, producing over 90% of most advanced semiconductors. The high-performance chips that power today's AI, GPOs, robotics. These are also the chips that power your phones, computers, cars and medical devices.
If those factories are seized or destroyed, the global economy will crash overnight. Tens of trillions of dollars in losses. Supply chains in chaos. The worst economic depression in a century. And the danger is more than economic. It's ideological. China is an autocracy, and a world where China dictates the terms of international order is a world where individual freedoms erode, authoritarianism spreads, and smaller nations are forced into submission.
Ja ennen kuin jokainen puhutaan Michael Bayn uudesta elokuvasta, olemme nÀhneet tÀtÀ elokuvaa jo aiemmin, vain kysy Ukrainea. TÀllÀ hetkellÀ voitte ymmÀrtÀÀ, miksi kaveri huijan kappaleella ja flip-flopsilla puhutaan mahdollisesta maailmanvuotiaasta.
My name is Palmer Luckey. I'm an inventor and an entrepreneur. When I was 19 years old, I founded Oculus VR while I was living in a camper trailer and then brought virtual reality to the masses. Years later, I was fired from Facebook after donating $9,000 to the wrong political candidate, and that left me with a choice. Either fade into irrelevance and islands, or build something that actually mattered. I wanted to solve a problem that was being ignored, one that would shape the future of this country and the world.
Despite the incredible technological progress happening all around us, our defense sector was stuck in the past. The biggest defense contractors had stopped innovating as fast as they had before, prioritizing shareholder dividends over advanced capability, prioritizing bureaucracy over breakthroughs. Silicon Valley, which was home to many of our top engineers and scientists, had turned its back on defense and the military writ large, betting on China as the only economy or government worth pandering to.
Teknologiset yritykset, jotka yhteyttÀisivÀt militaarille, pÀÀttivÀt, ettÀ kansallinen turvallisuus on joku toinen ongelma. Resultat. Teslan AI on parempi kuin jokaisen Yhdysvaltojen. Roomba on parempi autonomi kuin useimmat Pentagonin sÀÀntöjÀrjestelmÀt ja Snapchat-filterit ovat parempia tietovirtoja kuin suurimmat militaarisen sensoreiden.
Tiedin, ettÀ jos teknologialliset ja suurimmat joukkueet, sekÀ suurimmat joukkueiden joukkueet, pysÀhtyisivÀt innovaatioon, niin Yhdysvallat pysÀhtyisi aina pysÀhtymÀÀn omaa elÀmÀÀmme. Oli niin pieni, joka halusi ratkaista tÀmÀn ongelman, ettÀ pÀÀtin, ettÀ yritÀn minun parhaani. Joten löysin yrityksen nimeltÀ Anderl, joka ei ole joukkueen työnantaja, vaan joukkueen tuotantoprosessi. PysÀhtymme oman rahamme rakentamalla joukkueen tuotantoprosesseja, eikÀ pyytÀmÀttÀ tarvittavaksi taloudellisille.
Se tarkoittaa sitÀ, ettÀ menemme paljon nopeammin ja vÀhemmÀn kestÀvÀnÀ kuin suurimmat yksiköiden. EnsimmÀinen pitkÀnne investoijillemme, jotka olivat hyvin sopimassa, sanoi, ettÀ saamme taloudellisiin kymmeniÀ miljoonia dollaria vuodessa tekemÀllÀ kymmeniÀ miljoonia dollaria vuodessa tekemÀllÀ. Kun teemme kymmeniÀ erilaisia työkaluja, meidÀn tÀrkeimmÀstÀmme on software, AI-palvelu Lattice, joka auttaa meitÀ kÀyttÀmÀÀn miljoonia sotiaa ilman riskiÀ miljoonia elÀimiÀ.
