I've been working on a side project for some time: autonomous reverse-engineering powered by Gepetto.
I shared some thoughts here (https://t.co/EDHsSUWbQC), and am looking for beta testers to try out the platform.
DM me or reply below if you are interested!

Good observation on MI6 chief's speech today. I wrote a little on this aspect—the duelling demands of collection (espionage) v 'effects' (covert action), and the way in which global competition can drive more of the latter—a few months ago. https://t.co/BIbFY5ALjJ https://t.co/PAIS05ah0k pic.twitter.com/Fh6RLUOTtU

I find it very funny that this article has been published on the very day Ukraine's SBU blew up a $300m Russian submarine - whilst it was docked in Novorossiysk - with an underwater drone. https://t.co/Iu0Rh7n7LI
