Elon Musk just told a story that should terrify every AI company on Earth.

His son Saxon is autistic.

Saxon couldn’t understand why the family went to restaurants.

You can get the same food delivered.

You can call your friends over.

You can eat better at home for half the price.

So why go?

Musk: “He had an epiphany and said, ‘Oh, the reason people go to restaurants is to hang out with strangers.’”

A kid who takes the world literally just decoded something the rest of us never thought to question.

We like being around people we’ll never know.

Look at what we already built.

Delivery apps so you never wait in line.

Remote work so you never share an office.

Self-checkout so you never talk to a cashier.

Every innovation of the last 20 years was a bet against human proximity.

Every one paid off.

Until it didn’t.

Loneliness is now a public health emergency.

Depression has doubled since the smartphone.

The average American has fewer close friends than any generation in history.

We didn’t remove friction.

We removed the thing friction was hiding.

Now look at what’s coming.

AI agents that handle your emails.

AI companions that replace your conversations.

AI assistants that make every human interaction optional.

Same playbook. Same bet.

Except this time we’re not engineering out strangers.

We’re engineering out humans entirely.

The coffee shop where nobody knows your name.

The subway where no one speaks.

The restaurant where you’ll never see that couple again.

Those aren’t failed connections.

They’re the background radiation of belonging.

We don’t just need people who know us.

We need to exist in rooms full of people who don’t.

That’s what a kid understood at a dinner table that billion-dollar companies still can’t grasp in a boardroom.

We spent 20 years building a world you never have to show up to.

AI is about to finish the job.

And nothing it builds will ever replicate sitting in a room full of strangers and not feeling alone.

I would buy an @xai grok based smart speaker for £60, so many things pop in my head when im cooking that I want to know solid answers for!

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Eric Weinstein has a theory about what Elon is really building.

“You can’t get to the stars using SpaceX.”

Chemical rockets have a ceiling. They can reach Mars, maybe push deeper into the solar system, but interstellar travel requires physics we don’t have. Breakthroughs that should have happened decades ago but didn’t.

Weinstein thinks Elon sees the problem clearly: modern academia is too broken to deliver them. Too slow, too political, too captured by incentives that reward safe mediocrity over risky genius.

So Elon stopped waiting.

xAI isn’t a chatbot company. It’s a research engine built to solve the problems human institutions have failed to crack. Grok is the tool designed to unlock the physics that gets us past chemical propulsion.

SpaceX builds the rockets. xAI finds the way through.

One gets the headlines. The other might actually get us to the stars.

The Hydroclassifier / Hydrosizer is on site and being installed as we speak. This image was taken today (05/07/23).

This baby takes a week or so to optimise then gives 50% nameplate throughout = 2000t SC6 PM.

@that_stocks_guy Very good article with both viewpoints included 👍

[Calum @Cal8uk]

@MarkEJFairbairn @Premafrimin Have you been contacted directly by anyone who you would consider a future offtaker for prem?

[Calum @Cal8uk]

@MarkEJFairbairn @Premafrimin Once the mine is fully operational, is stark going to continue maintenance or will it be 'handed over' to prem.

Has there been any talk of stark building further plants for other prem projects?

[Calum @Cal8uk]

Good Overview

@MartinSLewis I would say it was fair however how they suddenly 'cut you off' over £16,000 creates issues. I would maybe suggest reducing at a higher rate past £16,000 rather than just stop. You would just have to re-apply after one or two months.
