Explain it to me like I’m 10; why can’t you build more? I get there are DoD approved vendors etc but…this shit was designed in *1969* How can Anduril not be able leverage the 100,000% increase in computing power to churn out 1,000/month? A diff but equally effective system?

We're certainly being held hostage by a past era and its outdated bureaucracy. Yet, people keep demanding more of it.

There are also draconian laws, written and unwritten, but nevertheless brutally enforced, that force everyone to hire worthless people and inverts instead of the best people.

When is someone going to upload all laws and legislation into a LLM and ask it to make sense of the insanity we currently have?

It's because there's no party that just keeps the legislation as it is. A party that does nothing solves a lot of problems with incentives etc. The legislation should iterate towards the optimal legislation (optimal = nobody wants to change it, given the available options), not grow forever. But there's no option to stop the growth, so of course it keeps growing.

Is there any way to *remove* laws and regulations? Or is this fundamentally broken and impossible?

AI is now a critical component in weapon systems. Pattern matching has been used in manufacturing since the 1980s/1990's. Now we are utilizing pattern match, motion control, safety overides, etc. It has to be sold as a second source requirement for national preservation.

Also “compute power” does not magically transform into a manufacturing line backed by a supply chain
