Let's talk about this:
'Governance of Superintelligence'
from @OpenAI@sama and his team
This sounds so good in the surface but when you look back at @OpenAI you are left with confusion..👇
BREAKING: Carnival, the world's largest cruise company, today announced that 100% of its ships across its global fleet are now equipped with @SpaceX's Starlink global internet.
Carnival CEO: "Starlink has been a game-changer. We've already seen a surge in guest satisfaction."
I made it out of the jungle alive ❤
This was an adventure of a lifetime, from getting lost in dense unexplored wilderness to taking very high doses of ayahuasca.
I'll post videos about some of these adventures in a week or so. First, here's a 4 hour podcast conversation with Paul Rosolie that we recorded deep in the jungle.
This time in the jungle has deepened my gratitude for getting to exist on this beautiful planet with all of you. I love you all ❤
The podcast conversation is here on X and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Once we wake up to the obvious reality that real economies require real work to produce real goods, this nightmare of endless money printing nonsense will finally end…
“What is Money?” will be regarded as the defining question of our time in history.
🇺🇸DANA WHITE: "IS MY NAME NOT TRANS ENOUGH FOR YOU, YOU LIBERAL F*CKS?"
Taking a swipe at Netflix for only giving him 60 seconds to roast Tom Brady on their special, he went on to say:
"Tom, you played the Patriots for so long that I was actually starting to feel like you were from Boston. Then I saw you run, and I was like, no, he's definitely from San Francisco.
You led the league for 20 years in passing, as a straight guy."

Central banking is a currency counterfeiting cartel. “What is Money?” is such a philosophically tantalizing question b/c these scammers have so corrupted money that not even they make sense of it. By breaking up this cartel, #Bitcoin fixes the world.
🇺🇸 WARREN BUFFETT ON PAYING CORPORATE TAXES
"If we send a check like we did last year... and if 800 other companies had done the same thing, no other person in the United States would have had to pay a dime in federal taxed,"
Bitcoin's 200 day moving average just hit a new all-time high.
GBTC saw the first day of inflows in 78 days.
Don't get lulled to sleep by bitcoin going sideways. The long-term thesis is as strong as ever.
Here is my segment on @SquawkCNBC this morning.
FYI, whether Warren Buffett invests or does not invest in Tesla, it does NOT change the growth trajectory of EVs, Energy, Robotaxis/FSD, Optimus, and where this company is headed.
Plus, we got Ron Baron, who is the ultimate GOAT in investing.

Is congress really going to let unelected regulators like Gary Gensler unilaterally decide America is closed for business?
Uniswap, Coinbase, Kraken, Consensys, Robinhood.
All less than 12 yrs old.
Suing our best American companies just because he hates crypto.
Fire Gensler.
Congrats to @Tesla_Optimus team on another stellar update! The video gives us a peek at their human data collection farm, which I believe is Optimus' biggest lead. What does it take to build such a pipeline? Optimus nailed all of the following:
1. Optimus hands are among the best 5-finger, dexterous robot hands in the world. It's got tactile sensing, 11 degrees of freedom (DOF) compared to many competitors with only 6-7 DOF, and robustness to withstand lots of object interactions without constant maintenance.
2. Teleoperation software: we can see that the human operators are wearing VR goggles and gloves. It is very non-trivial to set up the software to have first-person video streamed in and precise control streamed out, while maintaining extremely low latency. Humans are highly sensitive to even the smallest delay between their own motions and the robot's. Optimus has a fluid whole body controller that enacts the human poses in real-time.
3. Sizeable fleet: you need more than one robot to collect data in parallel, well-trained human contractors taking multiple shifts per day (preferably 24/7), and an on-call maintenance crew to make sure that the robots are always busy. That's a ton of operational complexity that academic research labs don't even think of.
4. Tasks & environments: it's equally important to figure out *what* to teleoperate. Currently, most such efforts are demo-driven: collect data on the tasks that you want to put into a social media video. But solving general-purpose robots requires us to think carefully about the distribution of tasks and environments. From 43"-51" in the video, we can see factory & household settings like moving batteries, handling laundry, sorting daily objects into shelves.
It's an open-ended research question: if you only have the budget to collect training data for 1,000 tasks, what would you pick to maximize skill transfer and generalization?
Closing thought: teleoperation is a necessary but insufficient condition to solve humanoid robotics. It fundamentally does not scale. More about this later.
