A New Exoskeleton and Markwayne Mullin’s Secret War — Instrumental Communications
Summary
This edition of Instrumental Communications covers escalating geopolitical tensions, primarily focusing on the U.S. and Israeli conflict with Iran, which has disrupted global shipping and caused oil prices to surge, leading to domestic economic strain and political divisions within the Trump administration, evidenced by Joe Kent's resignation. In military and defense news, Russia is sharing drone technology with Iran, the Pentagon is developing its own LLMs after a contract with Anthropic failed, and sailors aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford lost sleeping quarters due to a fire. Domestically, reports surfaced about Senator Markwayne Mullin's alleged secret war zone past, the USPS facing potential insolvency by October, and the Trump administration's executive order to create a centralized government database, raising privacy concerns. Other topics include a federal jury convicting 'antifa' defendants on terrorism charges, OpenAI facing a copyright lawsuit from dictionary publishers, and a UK boy trialing a bionic exoskeleton.
