Hey @adcock_brett congratulations on the most gloriously boring video.

You and your team are doing an amazing job.

Is the next video a robot learning a new task, collaborating without instruction, or casually making itself indispensable. And we realise it’s already scaled?

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

We just wrapped what began as an 8-hour challenge - and it ran for 200 hours without a failure

Shoutout to the team for the hardcore engineering behind F.03 and the robust Helix models powering it

Why did @grok struggle to come up with a response. @adcock_brett @elonmusk

@Tracy__Martinez @adcock_brett @Figure_robot If you are a fan, then you will have seen the demo videos.

@suzukisapers @beffjezos The conveyor belt takes the parcels around in a loop to refill the shute.

@User97PB @adcock_brett They are turning the packages over so that the label is facing down.

What started out as an 8 hour shift has turned into a 48 hour shift! Humanoid robots doing real-time testing. Well done @adcock_brett and the team at @Figure_robot

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

Day 2 is Live: Watch humanoid robots Bob, Frank, and Gary running 24/7. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 https://t.co/zaRVkoLa4e

@adcock_brett When your 8hr shift turns into a 48hr shift and you are still going strong!

[Robert Holland @RWH4567]

@BeezTu @adcock_brett Keep watching because what you are witnessing is a breakthrough in robotics. I always think back to life before the mobile phone. Oh, how things change.

[Robert Holland @RWH4567]

@Mad_dev @adcock_brett There were three robots taking turns. Two recharge whilst the other sorts packages. But they have now added another robot. So now three are charging/waiting to take over. What started out as an 8 hour shift is heading towards a 48 hour shift.

@noeaitn @adcock_brett They are using batteries.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starship is the most powerful moving object ever made

[Robert Holland @RWH4567]

@k_kohlbrenner @adcock_brett @Figure_robot It means pure excitement. The future is looking better all the time.

@elonmusk @elonmusk can we please have an update to see how Optimus is coming along?

@minchoi @grok I had the same response when I tried ChatGPT, I then asked, So how do I wash my car? The next response was interesting:

Good question 😄 — here’s the simple, practical way to do it.

Since the car wash is 50 meters away, you normally walk there first, then:

Elon Musk's answer to the question of why he continues to work for the benefit of humanity, being such a rich man:

“Certainly there are times when I have doubts about these things... It's a good question because it goes at a foundational level: what is my philosophy, and why does it lead to this conclusion?

So the reason is that when I was a teenager, I had, like, an existential crisis to try to figure out what's the meaning of life. There doesn't seem to be any meaning. For me, at least the religious texts, and I read all of them that I could get my hands on, did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers.

Be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression. So, reading Schopenhauer, Nietzsche as an adult, it's much more manageable. But as a kid, you're like, 'Whoa.'

So then I was like, 'Man, I'm just struggling to find meaning in life here.' And then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And basically what Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The question is not, 'What's the meaning of life?'

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth, it turns out, is a big computer, and its goal is to answer the question, 'What's the meaning of life?' And Earth comes up with the answer '42'. This is where the 42 number comes from. And 420 is just ten times 42. In that book, which is really sort of a book about, it's an existential philosophy book disguised as humor. They come to the conclusion that the real problem is trying to formulate the question. And to really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth.

And so maybe one way, I think, of characterizing this would be to say, 'The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?'

The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multistellar species… we have a chance of figuring out what the hell is going on.

And so this is why I think we should have more humans and both biological and digital consciousness. And why we should become a multi-planet species and a multistellar species is so that we can understand the nature of the universe.

And then, in order for that to occur, then we have to make sure that things are good on Earth. We don't want Earth to disappear, so sustainable energy is important.”

@TrentAA Thank you Trent, all the best for your next chapter. YNWA

@whoisheartbreak Thank you Jessie and your SpaceX work colleagues and friends, for everything that you are doing. You and the team are an inspiration.
