Andrej Karpathy told Elon Musk that Tesla will grow from $45B to $1.5T using AI - while competitors spent billions doing it the old way

after this presentation Tesla's stock dropped 3.9%

Karpathy stood up and explained why every competitor will lose

"lidar is a crutch - it sidesteps the fundamental problem "

Musk: "every mile driven is training the network - whether autopilot is on or off "

simply because every single driver was training Tesla's model for free

that $45B company is now worth $1.5T

Waymo spent $27 billion. Tesla spent $0 on data collection

then Andrej left Tesla and joined Anthropic - to build their competitor

@SteveSmithCan @SaP011 How do you talk with someone spitting at people??? How do you open your mouth around that?
The guy who took him down was tiny, so no way that restraint is an option.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@SaP011 I think he made a really big mistake! These particular Christians are praying on the street, like Muslims! Who knows if they'd picked up other habits! They coulda beheaded him!

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@SteveSmithCan @SaP011 I think the takedown was to ensure he stopped spitting. That's allowed in Christianity. What isn't permitted in Christianity, is retaliation! That didn't look like retaliatory to me!

arXiv Just Banned Researchers for AI Hallucinations

arXiv hosts 2.4 million scientific papers.

On May 14, 2026, it announced it would ban researchers for up to a year if hallucinated citations were found in their work.

Then academics lost their minds.

A small group of researchers went on the offensive after arXiv clarified that authors are responsible for hallucinated citations found in papers submitted under their names. "So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate?" an economics professor at Smith College replied in shock.

Read that sentence one more time.

A professor at a named institution expressed shock, genuine shock at the idea that they should verify the citations in their own academic paper before submitting it to be permanently entered into the scientific record.

That shock is the story. Not the policy. The reaction.

Even in 2026, there are still plenty of researchers who refuse to use AI to publish their research papers. Others use the tech for tasks like sourcing journal articles for references, editing copy, or formatting citations but they face pressure to verify every claim. A vocal minority of academics argue they should be able to use AI to write original research while remaining immune from any hallucinated claims or data that make their way into the final product.

Immune. That is the word they used. Immune from responsibility for the contents of their own papers.

Here is the mechanism behind the outrage that nobody in the mainstream coverage explained clearly.

AI citation hallucination is not rare. The Columbia University study published in The Lancet in May 2026 scanned 2.5 million medical papers and found 4,046 fabricated references across 2,810 published papers with the rate increasing from 4 per 10,000 papers in 2023 to 57 per 10,000 by early 2026. A 12-fold increase. Perfectly correlated with the adoption of AI writing tools.

Which means researchers have been submitting papers with hallucinated citations and passing peer review at accelerating rates for three years. And at least some of them knew. Because checking your own citations manually is not difficult. It is tedious.

The AI made it easier not to check.

arXiv drew a line. Authors are responsible for the contents of papers published under their names. The line should be unremarkable. It is the basic standard of academic integrity that has existed since the first journal published the first paper.

The shock at being held to it reveals how thoroughly that standard has already eroded.

The scientific record is permanent. The papers published with hallucinated citations are still there. They have already been cited. Those citations have already been pulled into other papers. The contamination is already in the literature.

The ban does not undo any of that.

It just establishes that going forward, the person who puts their name on a paper is the person responsible for what is in it.

That this needed to be announced and that the announcement was met with outrage is the most alarming part of the entire story.

If you visit St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome please remember,
Catholicism is a religion of obedience & follow the rules.
Also, etiquette is not optional.
This is what main character syndrome looks like.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@NotFarLeftAtAll No! That establishment needs to be ostracized from British political equation.

@GBNationalism So what? Reform IS the reason a Labour government exists in the first place.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@StevenJonMiller @Stephen1440525 But it's obvious that Reform is dead anyway. Why prolonging its demise?

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@IslingtonChap I imagine that you're familiar with the system that entitles people to either spend their money buying Elon's products, or to just give the money to nurses instead?
That won't be Elon's fault, right? Pls blame the customers for buying, rather than giving the money to nurses.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@joni_askola You do realize that in hunter gatherer societies to this day, they look upon members who kills a big game with suspicion and derision right?
At some point, human culture had to progress beyond that sentiment, to arrive at the property holding culture which built civilization.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@joni_askola Please how isn't that fair?

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@joni_askola I missed your memo. Now why shouldn't it be possible for someone who creates wealth, keep some of it? It isn't as it there was a trillion dollar lying about, that Elon found & kept for himself. He created, trillion dollars that never existed before, & is rewarded trillions.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@NadineDorries Well you did vote Reform to get the present Labour government didn't you?

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@ClimateWarrior7 Ownership is one of our more recent cultural evolutions. The idea that a thing belongs to a particular person isn't our natural state.

[De Gavament 🇺🇦 @DGavament]

@basedandbougie Isn't Labour in power today because of Reform split the vote on the right?

Tout le monde devient fou parce qu'Elon Musk a une fortune de 1 000 milliards de dollars.

Très bien. Faisons les comptes, calmement.

L'État fédéral américain dépense 7 000 milliards de dollars par an. La fortune entière d'Elon, accumulée sur 30 ans de travail, représente 52 jours de dépenses de Washington. L'État français dépense 1 700 milliards d'euros par an, 57% du PIB, record absolu du monde développé. La fortune d'Elon, c'est 7 mois de dépenses publiques françaises.

Maintenant, la question que personne ne pose : qu'est-ce que chacun a produit avec cet argent ?

Washington, avec 7 000 milliards par an : un déficit de 1 800 milliards, une dette de 38 000 milliards, et des intérêts de la dette qui dépassent désormais le budget militaire. La Californie de Newsom a brûlé plus de 15 milliards dans un train à grande vitesse qui n'existe pas. La NASA a dépensé plus de 24 milliards pour développer le SLS, une fusée jetable à 4 milliards le lancement.

La France, avec 1 700 milliards par an : un hôpital en crise permanente, une école qui s'effondre dans les classements internationaux, 3 400 milliards de dette, et pas une seule entreprise technologique de rang mondial créée en 25 ans.

Elon, avec une fraction microscopique de ces budgets : le Falcon 9 développé pour environ 400 millions de dollars, là où la NASA estimait elle-même qu'il lui en aurait coûté 4 milliards. Dix fois moins cher. Des fusées qui atterrissent. Le coût du kilo en orbite divisé par 20. Starlink qui connecte des millions de personnes que les plans d'aménagement du territoire ont oubliées pendant 40 ans. Tesla qui a forcé toute l'industrie automobile mondiale à basculer vers l'électrique, ce que 30 ans de COP et de subventions n'avaient pas réussi à faire.

Donc récapitulons. Les États ont des moyens 10 à 50 fois supérieurs, le monopole de la loi, le monopole de l'impôt, et des décennies d'avance. Elon a beaucoup moins de moyens, zéro pouvoir de contrainte, et il surperforme tout le monde, dans tous les domaines où il entre.

Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est structurel. Quand un entrepreneur alloue son propre argent, chaque erreur lui coûte personnellement, donc il apprend vite. Quand un bureaucrate alloue l'argent des autres, chaque erreur est invisible, diluée, et souvent récompensée par un budget supplémentaire l'année suivante. L'un a une boucle de feedback, l'autre n'en a pas.

La conclusion s'impose d'elle-même : le pouvoir de créer des systèmes dans le monde réel doit TOUJOURS être donné aux entrepreneurs qui allouent leur propre argent. Pas parce qu'ils sont meilleurs moralement. Parce qu'ils sont les seuls à payer le prix de leurs erreurs, et donc les seuls capables de corriger.

Milei a TOUT compris. Re-regardez son discours de Davos. "L'État n'est pas la solution, l'État est le problème lui-même." Tout le monde a ri en 2024. L'Argentine est sortie de l'hyperinflation pendant que la France cherche encore 40 milliards d'économies qu'elle ne trouvera jamais.

L'histoire ne juge pas les intentions. Elle juge l'allocation.

@simonateba What does Elon Musk's wealth have to do with your financial struggles? Didn't he work to create the wealth? How is your covetousness going to improve your financial struggles? Maybe if you had tried to create wealth, you might've been spared financial struggles.

The 26-second pulse (a faint microseism) originates from one main spot in the Gulf of Guinea / Bight of Bonny off West Africa—likely ocean waves hitting the seafloor or possibly volcanic activity.

The signal travels through Earth and gets picked up by seismometers worldwide, but the source itself is localized, not happening everywhere at once. Satellites don't directly image it; this comes from seismic data.
