@elonmusk It's not safe for the pedestrians or other smaller cars that it might hit though. There's more to car safety than the owners of the vehicle, everyone should be considered.
Waymo vehicles have a 13x lower rate of serious accidents than human drivers. Six generations of hardware. Thousands of innovations in AI and software. 170M+ fully autonomous miles.
For 20 years @Dmitri_Dolgov has been focused on making driving safer. While dozens of companies have come and gone, Dmitri persisted.
He knows that getting to "good" is easy, getting to "great" is hard and getting to "super human safety" is extreme. Dmitri chooses extreme.
My favorite part about him? Heโs extremely humble about all this and remains focused on what's next: scaling.
We're grateful to have hosted Dmitri and his @Waymo team at @sequoia AI Ascent last week. Full video here:

Unlike Google, Amazon and Microsoft, Meta lacks a Cloud business, and is dependent on advertising for revenue, which is less stable and more susceptible to economic downturn.
JUST IN: $10 BILLION GALAXY JUST SAID IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MICHAEL SAYLOR OWNS MORE #BITCOIN THAN SATOSHI
HE WILL OWN 1,000,000 BTC

An undercover BBC investigation has found a โshadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UKโ.
WE KNOW.
Weโve all been saying it for years, but the BBC is finally catching on...
A Restore Britain Government would solve this in two ways.
Deportations.
Anyone who arrived illegally gets deported - included those already granted asylum.
If you came here on a boat, you will be sent home.
If a foreign national lawyer or worker has been involved in the fraud, they too will be deported.
They can claim theyโre gay if they like - they can explain all about it to the deportation officer on their flight home.
Prosecutions.
Any British national found defrauding the asylum system will go to prison - that includes those within the Home Office.
Simple as that.
We will pursue the judiciary - if they have been found to knowingly allow foreign sex pests and criminals to roam our streets? They will be held accountable.
We will not be afraid to put judges in prison.
Because the British people have all had enough of this.
Restore Britain will finally end the vile piss-take, and thousands of people will go to prison for their role in it.
JUST IN: SAMSON MOW JUST SAID ADAM BACK'S $BSTR IS ABOUT TO BUY $1,500,000,000 #BITCOIN AND SET OFF A "SUPPLY SHOCK"
MORE COMPANIES WILL FOLLOW SAYLOR
EXCHANGES WILL RUN OUT OF BTC
"IT IS INEVITABLE" ๐
But what is the $BSTR plan after the 51k?
$XXI started with around that number yet have done nothing since December.
These guys were supposed to at least attempt to rival $MSTR but both appear to be iced.
Saylor is like a single guy who has invented Football and just plays against himself every week scoring goal after goal after goal waiting for a single opposition player to turn up at the ground, put their boots on, and attempt to tackle him. The 100k+ spectators in the stands look on bewildered every week as Saylor dribbles the ball down the centre of the pitch and kicks it into the net for the 717,000th time.
Someone make it make sense. "Strategic Ignorance" as Saylor puts it, or something else.
๐ง๐ช Belgian MEP Kris Van Dijck: โI have a big problem about how the United Nations works at this moment. The Islamic Republic of Iran was nominated to a U.N. committee shaping policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. How is that possible?โ

This 2 hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this week.
@elonmusk The high general availability of guns in the US makes it too easy for criminals to get hold of them. They should not be on sale to unvetted people in shops, the process of obtaining a gun needs to be more difficult. Only more qualified citizens should be able to obtain them.
