This week, Anduril hosted a tech talk in Sydney, Australia with our founder, Palmer Luckey. This was an opportunity for engineers and other technologists to speak about the future of AI, autonomy, software, and hardware.
great american right there. changed the video game industry and used the money to build weapons to defend the west. Bravo, sir. I still have my DK1 and DK2 :P
I randomly watched an interview with Palmer a year ago and was blown away by his ability to clearly explain things. I'm surprised he doesn't get more exposure.
He's a Very. And I mean a *VERY* charismatic person. No one would've thought that he's a very technical person with his style of clothing and appearance. Such a cool guy ngl. America's rivals are shivering in their boots due to his entry in the military industry.
Hey PR experts, congrats, this is one of the better interviews due to good questions, actual product questions (finally!!) and the presence of the chief engineer as well. Please do more of that. Because we all know that at some point Anduril won't be the only one in the room anymore, at some point Luckey's well-argued and well-deserved talking points on the defense industry and China will wear out, and at some point we would love at least some detail on the boring old stuff like product development, cash flows, or at least some qualitative details on what the business is actually like and how Anduril thinks about it.
This is the advantage of leveraging commodity consumer systems - they already exist - combining them to achieve a military capability in new ways ...hundreds of robotic subs on station around the Pacific. You can build capability instantly. This is the strategy used for Rapid Dragon - ..every cargo plane is a bomber. With Vampire every ute is a tank. With MQ-28 every highway is an airbase.... and Lattice combines them all.
You know what, I’m not sure if executives and founders of Chinese tech companies are able to have this kind of public conversations. That’s a plus point right there for countries that are not authoritarian, or worse, run by a dictator.
1:10:49 is such a good response, it seems like the guy asking the question was trying to mock and the guy answering pretty much told him that anduril mindset works better for him.
