@alojoh When do you think $TSLA will drop because of retail selling TSLA for SPCX?

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

FSD just pulled me over because of a police car with emergency light behind me. Didn’t notice it myself, such an euforic feeling.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just measured your existence by how many times your atoms have been inside a dying star.

Musk: “How many times have your atoms been at the center of a star? I think it’s like on average three or four times.”

Every atom in your body has already survived the core of a star.

Multiple times.

Crushed under pressures that would flatten planets.

Superheated to millions of degrees.

Blown apart in explosions so violent they forged new elements.

Then gravity pulled those scattered pieces back together.

New stars formed.

And the cycle repeated.

For 13.8 billion years, your atoms have been fuel for the most violent process in the universe.

And they are not done.

Musk: “In terms of existence as measured by the number of times your atoms will be at the center of a star, we seem to be roughly halfway.”

Halfway.

Your atoms have been through the furnace three or four times.

They will go through three or four more.

But right now, in this impossibly thin sliver between cycles, those atoms are doing something they have never done before.

They are conscious.

For billions of years before you, they burned through stellar cores with no awareness.

No memory.

No sense of what they were or where they had been.

After you, they will return to that state.

Unconscious matter drifting through space until the next star claims them.

This is the only moment in their entire journey where they can look back at the stars that made them and understand.

Musk: “If you want to look at the big picture… that’s the really big picture.”

The big picture is not that we are small.

Everyone already knows that.

The big picture is that we are temporary witnesses to a process that does not need witnesses.

Stars do not need observers to burn.

Atoms do not need anyone to understand where they have been.

The universe ran for billions of years with no one in it.

It will run for billions more after the last conscious thing disappears.

But right now, matter is examining itself.

That has never happened before in 13.8 billion years.

You are not a person who happens to contain ancient atoms.

You are ancient atoms that briefly figured out how to think.

The universe did not design consciousness.

It designed stars.

Consciousness was the accident.

And the accident is half over.

Watch a team of humanoid robots running a full 8-hr shift at human performance levels. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 https://t.co/bIgpYuaYCj

[Unitree @UnitreeRobotics]

Unitree Unveils: GD01, A Manned Transformable Mecha, from $650,000 👏
The world's first production-ready manned mecha. It can transform. It's a civilian vehicle. It weighs ~500kg with you inside.
Please everyone be sure to use the robot in a Friendly and Safe manner.

We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

@piloly Ordered my model Y in januari, still waiting…

[Daniel Schreiber @daschreiber]

I cofounded an AI-first company, @Lemonade_Inc.

By the end of the decade, I think “AI-first” will seem quaint, the horseless carriage of artificial intelligence.

If you want to unleash 1,000 horsepower, stop designing around the horse.

My thesis on why after "AI-first" comes "AI-only":

@KRoelandschap @teslaeurope @Tesla @robotinreallife @robotaxi Wow 🤩

[Neuralink @neuralink]

We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts.

See how this is possible.

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

And so it begins…

[Tesla @Tesla]

Purpose-built for autonomy

Cybercab in production now at Giga Texas

[Joe Tegtmeyer 🚀 🤠🛸😎 @JoeTegtmeyer]

Now that @Tesla has publicly announced the final Cybercab in bright, glossy gold and that production SOP (Start or Production) has happened, here are some views of several at Giga Texas today in the outbound lot.

As you can visually see, these are very noticeably different from the wrapped engineering versions. These look so good out in the sun for the first time!

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

@JoeTegtmeyer @Tesla Holy shit, that looks soooo cool

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

@mikepat711 @KRoelandschap @mischamartijn let me talk to the micro factory manager!

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

@pbeisel Yeah I think they mean true global expansion via V15. Too bad they didn’t give more short term guidance but who cares in a couple of years 😆

[Apple TV @AppleTV]

The truth will surface.

#Silo returns July 3 on Apple TV.

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

@HariSeldon_3 Yes there is a speed offset of Max 20% and dynamic speeding. Press the acceleration pedal to go above the speed limit ( for a short time 😩)

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

FSD trials are live in the Netherlands. The most common reaction from people I know is: ‘It’s really impressive and safe, but it drives too slowly, so I won’t subscribe.’

[Sander Smit @Sandersmit83]

Not intending to subscribe they say. But I think it’s just something you have to get used to. With supervised the real advantage is probably on longer trips, you get much less tired. There are no speed profiles but you can set dynamic speed or set a maximum of 20% above the allowed speed. Press the accelaration pedal to go above the speed limiet.
