Game development is solved! ✅
This entire shooter game was made by Claude Fable 5.2 in a few hours, for $550 (API pricing).
This would have been AAA quality just a few years ago. It's very playable too!
@paulvilloff OpenAI. ChatGPT has over a billion weekly users, the large majority on the free tier. Their inference costs remain enormous and the company still runs deep operating losses. Full cost recovery would end the subsidized free access that drives most of that scale.
People mocking Jensen Huang’s wife for her looks are missing the point.
Lori met Jensen when he was a broke engineering student, married him before NVIDIA even existed, and stood by him for 40 years as he built his empire.
She was faithful and loyal. Even if the mistress was more attractive, Jensen was a scumbag for betraying his wife and kids.
Reporter: “Just to confirm, did you tell the president no to the press secretary job?”
Dana White: “I don't tell the president no to anything. No, I didn't say no. I literally, everybody, every media outlet was calling me and I didn't want to be disrespectful and say anything until he said something first.”
President Trump: “We were having a very bad press day and I said, I don't know why, I thought of his name. He's been my friend for a long time. I said, you know, I think I'm going to get Dana White to be my new press secretary. And I sent it to a group of the press, and that was it. I'm sort of kidding. And then they wrote the story as though I wasn't kidding, and you were inundated, and I was inundated, and he was here anyway. We thought to have a little fun…”
POTUS loves to TOY with the Fake News.
Elon Musk explains why SpaceX launches from a spot nobody wanted to live
Getting to orbit isn't really about going up.
Gravity at the space station's altitude is almost the same as on the ground.
The station stays up because it's moving around Earth at about 17,000 miles an hour, circling once roughly every 90 minutes.
So reaching orbit is about how fast you're moving parallel to the surface.
That's where Earth's rotation helps.
At the equator, the ground is already moving at about 1,000 miles an hour, eastward.
So you want to launch east, from an east coast, as far south as possible.
The hard part is finding that coastline empty.
Almost all of Florida is houses wall to wall on the beach. The exception is Cape Canaveral, and that's a government base.
One of the few open spots was right by the border with Mexico.
It was a tough place to build homes. A planned development there got wiped out by a hurricane that left some plots underwater.
And it had to be US soil. Rocket technology counts as advanced weapons technology, so export restrictions rule out launching from another country.
The land nobody could build a home on was exactly what a rocket company needed.
This is Elon Musk back in 1995, fixing his own car because he couldn't afford to pay a mechanic
In 1993, Elon bought a used 1978 BMW 320i for just $1,400
One day, thieves broke into his car, smashed the side window, and stole a radio worth around $20
Instead of paying someone to repair it, Elon went to a junkyard, bought replacement glass for $20, and fixed it himself
And it wasn't just the window
Elon actually repaired almost EVERYTHING on that BMW using parts he found in junkyards
When the original four-speed transmission failed, he even found a five-speed transmission from another BMW in a Philadelphia junkyard and installed it himself
He kept that old car running with his own hands because he couldn't afford professional repairs
Shockingly dystopian.
Saves a pic from Google Images that was AI generated (not of a child), sends it over Facebook messenger to his wife while they're discussing clothes to buy.
Facebook reports it to police and his devices are seized. The UK is unwell.

【BRUTAL】Elon Musk: "People who only ask questions to AI are going to get completely left behind," his statement is insane hahaha
Employee: "What's the right way to use AI?"
Elon: "Most people use it wrong."
Employee: "Huh?"
Elon: "You ask a question, read the answer, and that's it, right?"
Employee: "Isn't that how it's normally done?"
Elon: "That's wasting it."
Employee: "So what do you have to do?"
Elon: "Give the AI 50 subordinates."
Employee: "What? hahaha"
Elon: "First, an AI Chief of Staff plans the day."
Employee: "Okay."
Elon: "Then, an AI project manager assigns the work."
Employee: "I see."
Elon: "And more than 50 AI agents do the work."
Employee: "50?! hahaha"
Elon: "And on top of that, they can work 24 hours a day."
Employee: "But isn't that like a human company?"
Elon: "Exactly. AI manages AI."
Employee: "So what do humans do then?"
Elon: "They set the goals and make the important decisions."
Employee: "……"
Until now, AI was a human asking a question and getting an answer.
But with AI agents, you can divide the work, distribute it among multiple AIs, and even set up a system to review the results.
Of course, human supervision and quality control are still needed.
Even so, we've moved from the era where AI was just a simple assistant to the era where you direct an entire team of AIs.
From now on, those who know how to delegate work to AI will earn more than those who know how to use it.
This is f*cking insane. Elon Musk, the man behind SpaceXAI, was asked how a 20-year-old can avoid being left behind in the AI transition. His answer:
"To know what to ask the robots for, you need to formulate the question"
In 84 seconds, he lays out the plan: get the broadest education you can. Arts, sciences, engineering. The more you know, the better you can tell AI what you want
He even names the skill: prompt engineering. You have to convey your wishes to the robot
Then the wild part: there will be so many robots and so much AI that they'll be eager for any request you have, and it gets done immediately
Broad Knowledge → The Right Question → Grok Bot → A Team of Bots → Harness → Done Immediately

Elon Musk explains his 5-step process for running companies:
"First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. It does not matter who gave them to you.
It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough. Everyone's wrong no matter who you are.
Everyone's wrong some of the time. So make your requirements less dumb. Then try very hard to delete the part or process.
This is actually very important. If you're not occasionally adding things back in, you are not deleting enough.
The bias tends to be very strongly towards let's add this part or process step in case we need it. But you can basically make in-case arguments for so many things and for a rocket that is trying to be the first fully reusable rocket.
There's never been a fully reusable rocket. People don't understand. This is like the holy grail of rocketry. So you've got to delete the part or process step. Super important.
You can't hedge your bets. That's why the grid funds, for example, do not fall down because that's a whole extra mechanism that we don't need.
Also, whatever requirement or constraint you have, it must come with a name, not a department. Because you can't ask the department. You have to ask a person. That person who's putting forward their requirement or constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for that requirement.
Otherwise, you can have a requirement that basically an intern two years ago randomly came up with off the cuff and they're not even at the company anymore. These things are often just way more silly than you think. So step one, make your requirements less dumb.
Step two, delete the part or process step. If you're not adding things back in 10% of the time, you're clearly not deleting enough.
And then only the third step is simplify or optimize.
The third step, not the first step. The reason it's the third step is because possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.
Everyone's been trained in high school and college that you've got to answer the question. Convergent logic. So you can't tell the professor your question is dumb. You'll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone's basically, without knowing it, they've got a mental straitjacket on. They'll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist.
And then finally, you get to step four, which is accelerate cycle time.
You're moving too slowly, go faster. But don't go faster until you have worked on the other three things first. You can always make things go faster.
And then the final step is automate.
Now, I've personally made the mistake of going backwards on all five steps multiple times. Literally, I automated, accelerated, simplified, and then deleted.
One example I've talked about before is there were these fiberglass mats on top of the Model 3 battery pack that were in between the floor pan and the battery.
And it was at one point choking the battery pack production line. And I was basically living on the battery pack production line trying to fix the line.
It was choking the entire Model 3 production program. So the first mistake was I tried to fix the automation, like make the robot better. So automating was a mistake. Then accelerating was a mistake. Then optimizing was a mistake.
And finally, I said, what the hell are these mats for?
And I asked the battery safety team, what are these mats for? Are they for fire protection or something?
They said, no, they're for noise and vibration. Then I asked an NVH, a noise, vibration, harshness team, what's it for? They said fire safety.
So literally, it was like being in a Dilbert cartoon. Actually, I feel like I'm in a Dilbert cartoon quite frequently. So then finally, OK, great, let's try a car with the fiber glass mats and without. And they put a microphone to both and see if you can tell the difference.
In fact, I was like, which one is which? So we just deleted them and just bypassed this $2 million robot cell.
It was just a complete pile of nonsense."
