@nymbusjp Was anyone still concerned whether Tesla could build cars at scale? No, the concerns for robotaxi remain on the software side.

When these robots consistently find good spots to pull over, that’s the signal.

@zachklein Ironic, the difference between roadway and sidewalk is confusing for you.

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@paulg He should sent a note to Thomas Nagel after.

@DevinOlsenn Agreed its way too verbose too, my custom prompt would go further thsn succinct. It’s would be: “neever respond in words, do mot confirm or clarity. Your only output is tool use with your best guess of what we need. Eg: navigation to the nearest option”

@Dr_Singularity Same ppl protesting that AI will take their jobs and they’ll have to retire too early.

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@KianSadeghi5 @nucleusgenomics Helpful but even if this was mainstream today the cycle time between generations will need a lot more intervention and iteration to keep up with AI pacing.

@DevinOlsenn @bot Digital Optimus, when?

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@GoingBallistic5 You do this so we dont have to. Thank you for your service 🫡

@DriveTeslaca Negative news, as if Tesla drivers are the only drivers falling asleep...

Accidents from drowsy driving are incredibly common, sleepiness doesnt care what car you drive.

But no other car will save you from a horrific accident if you do unfortunately fall asleep while diriving

@veeerunner @adcock_brett Not for long term competitive advantage.

Figure can't compete against Tesla, Hyundai, and Amazon partners to win in the industrial jobs dataset game.

But no one has an unfair advantage in housekeeping data yet. This can become a differentiator and moat for Figure.

@alojoh @JohanUysCA "The future is fully priced + some" ...Do you mean the next several months, or for forever?

Do you honestly think the full potential of AI-robotics is fully priced in?

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@DriveTeslaca Fixed headline: "FSD saves lives after driver accidentally falls asleep on hwy"

Chances are she would have crashed w/out FSD

NHTSA reports that drowsy driving causes ~ 100,000 police-reported crashes /yr in the US. And it's likely ~16% to 21% of all fatal vehicle crashes.

@Jason Best clip of the year.

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@DillonLoomis Yes true, no doubt he wants the merger.

But he also wants many things that are more likely to fail many times before they succeed.

I don’t know how hard this merger will be, I know I’ve bought some SPCX just to hedge.

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@RandyWKirk1 Retail cost = $60k

AND, you think they will rent 10m of these at $100k /yr?

Am I missing something?

Who would pay $100K /yr when they can own it outright for many times less??

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@beffjezos @elonmusk Actually this could work. Hear me out.

If Trump now sides with Elon, 100% of the Democrats will immediately disagree with slowing down AI.

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@WR4NYGov @JOBhakdi I tend to agree but on the same side of this view: humans love pigs too. Their populations are higher as a result.

While pigs are smarter than dogs, that’s not what we love about them. We dont raise pigs with the decency they deserve. The gamble is if we’re more like pigs to AI

[Ben Odynski @BenOdyn]

@RandyWKirk1 Isnt Grok Bot = Digital Optimus ?

I’m confused and disappointed as a Tesla investor to see the exact same product and service we’ve been waiting on now launched outside Tesla.
