I’ve thought about this a lot recently, I think this would work amazingly in dense population areas where parking is horrible but you still want taxis places, but in rural areas I don’t think a system like this would be worthwhile

Hot take but I think we should aim to replace all consumer cars with self driving cabs.

Around 3-4 years ago, I did the math and came to the conclusion that it is a far better financial decision for me to not get a car. I don’t go out much and just Uber whenever I need to go.

Your car is sitting in your garage 95% of the time. Yet your paying:

— the initial cost of the car
— insurance
— maintenance
— the time you lose from actively driving
— finding and paying for parking

Ubers cost a lot due to the human labor. For the average person, it’s cheaper to own a car and drive themselves to and from work everyday. But with self driving cabs at scale, the break even point can be that it’s actually cheaper to take a self driving cab in all cases (vs owning a car yourself). If we get there, that means:

— no more car accidents
— no more large parking structures
— no more human labor wasted on driving

The only downside is millions of drivers losing their jobs, but from a morality standpoint, humans should never have to waste their time on a job a machine can do cheaper and better.

@coledermo You did not stay in the mission, you stayed in mission bay🤓 (lowkey big difference)

@larpcaptain What about 26g strawberry banana core power shakes?

@cognition Grok 4.7 will exceed all current models.

That said, Anthropic is a great company and will probably release improved models soon.

However, the SpaceX training corpus is so awesome & unique that I would be shocked if any model is better at real-world engineering than 4.7.

Imagine Video 1.5 launched last month as our best video model yet, with more lifelike motion and sound. Today it goes even further with text-to-video support, image and voice references, and native 1080p.

I remember when I was 10, I asked my dad to help me learn how to code. My dad searched up "python practice problems" and told me to do them. If I came to him for help, he just told me to ask Google.

LLMs are amazing tech, but I think we take for granted the power of an ordinary search engine and the knowledge you can get from the websites it finds

[Kevin Tang @borrasque_]

How would you relearn coding if every single AI tool disappeared tomorrow?

My peers from Rice are some of the hungriest and smartest people I've met. Disagree that ivies + stanford are "compromised", still super smart ppl there.

Only thing I have noticed is that impostor syndrome is more common at Rice. Stanford and Penn kids are willing to larp super hard to get vc money, while most smart ppl at Rice aren't willing to do the same

[David Ulevitch 🇺🇸 @davidu]

@pitdesi Vanderbilt, Wash U, Emory, Duke, and Rice are the new elite schools. Ivies are fully compromised. Stanford, too. Cornell is lost. Columbia is lost. Penn is lost.

@1Aadhav Your first line contradicts the rest of your post. If the VC works for you, you would want one which will give you highest probability of success (through resources, funding, connections, etc.) You dont need a specific VC but you should still be careful about who you choose

@VineethSendil Thanks for helping us engineers ship better models even faster🚀

@agno_three power of the thumb👍

Super excited for people to try it! It’s been my daily driver for the last few weeks and I’ve been impressed with the speed and performance of the model🚀

@PayWithLocus @VisaNews Existing visa support will do a lot to help normal people start to pay with agents, congrats to the team!
