Man I had this video in draft for four days and still published with some messed up edits at the end. I guess better the end than the beginning? Either way, hope you all enjoyed the chat with Sam and be sure to check out his article!

The key lesson is: Don't give up your nukes for security guarantees.

Great conversation, especially appreciate hearing his opinion on "just good enough" and not over engineering to the detriment of the end goal. Really food interview, Preston, thanks for putting this out there!

IMO the most important distinction is that cheap drones will be the future of <b>*sustained, drawn out*</b> modern warfare because they are the most economical weapons.

The super fast iteration is what astonits me. That is hard to replicate when not in war.

"John Deere has been using unmanned tractors for a while now." Great point. As covered. It's a matter of the right scale at the right price. Larger precision vehicles for a specific task. Smaller vehicles for other tasks. Being able to use both in a complimentary fashion is the key. Good interview.
