Palmer Luckey on Bloomberg Talks
Palmer Luckey Talks Tech
Worth the short listen for the unusually candid counter-drone development setback and his specific $100,000 salary disclosure. The broader China and retro-gaming material is familiar and covered more deeply elsewhere in the corpus.
But like, for example, I have a project that is a man portable counter UAS system and oh Androl sorry I am Androl in my perspective, Yeah, sorry about that. Androl has a project building a man portable counter UAS system. We really wanted to have that actually fielded right about now, and instead, because of a variety of research. Look, we're developing basically a thing that goes on a person and it shoots down drones that are trying to attack you. 00:07:41 Speaker 3: It's turned out to be a more technically challenging problem than we thought.
Palmer Luckey participates extensively, discussing defense-industry accountability, Anduril's manufacturing and counter-drone programs, and the competitive gap between US and Chinese drone industries. He also discusses Mod Retro's modernized retro-gaming products and design philosophy.
