For Samsung to Invest Such High Level Human Capital in DM to Help Steer the
Scale-Up & Commercialization of DM’s South Korean Defense Division is Monumental

For some historical insight, as far as my DD has taken me, it appears one part of Samsung’s Military Enterprise was originally spun out as Techwin then then became
Techwin-Hanwha
Now :

But there is still much more that Samsung is engaged in that is within the military realm and much like with
DM’s Cyber is kept under wraps for obvious reasons which makes doing DD not so easy, but it is a vast network to say the least, dare I say only matched by the Pentagon & the P.L.A.

Any DM collaboration with Samsung also puts them on the doorstep to Quantum Computing & much much more innovation.

Quantum computing's promise. Ho said quantum computing is going to be a critical technology that will become strategic for enterprises and nations. The Catalyst Fund will be measured in its quantum computing investments but has invested in IonQ. He said:
Quantum computing has become a technology that's strategic at the nation state level. It's national security level of technology. And that's because if quantum computing works, and when it works, you can do things that are probably really, really hard to do without it
But some of the best insight I found regarding Samsung quest to harness AI is watching Samsung AI Forum Day 2022 / Pretty interesting stuff if you’re a research junkie like me
(tried providing the video link last post but didn’t work)

I’m in the same boat as fearless that it’s no coincidence that DM picked S.K. to execute their
Land & Expand Strategy and I like some other longs here think it’s wrong headed to focus on Dr Kim’s connections and rather see him more as
“Samsung itself”
Continuing to
“Know What I Own” and looking forward to the return of Team DM & the November Discord chat with M.G.
(It could be a doozy:-)
