Ironic like we don't have space to build the CT but we can build a new facility for Roadster? Ironic like we don't have enough smart people to build new shit so we have to pull them off the CT product, but we can do the Roadster. Ironic like "why don't we build cars that look like the future" and then we do, but we cancel so the fleets still look like everything else... Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A great use case for Grok Bot, whenever you get the class action lawsuit cards in the mail, take a picture then have Grok Bot verify its authenticity and submit your claim on your behalf.
But if feels like company profits eventually face a force to near zero. Specifically that the very abundance absorbs all demand. People are like, what am I going to do with a 200th Optimus? And yet every company is using Optimus to create Optimus so supply goes up, costs move down. Seems like GDP will hold steady or contract because of deflationary effects. Would money supply actually reduce to try to stave off the deflationary effects? I’d love to find someone who is podcasting/writing/modeling this future. It’s hard for my small brain to comprehend.
That’s pretty ambiguous. Help me understand how that helps me? As a shareholder will I have more “power and mass” than others because of my investment? Is the company valued only by its power and mass output or will we have some P&M/E ratio that shows value of future value? Even if we move to this new measure this is still a contradiction between the idea that companies will become exponentially more valuable while the power and mass they deliver become exponentially cheaper. For example, if everyone can have as many Optimus as they want (extreme abundance) it is only because supply is nearly at cost of inputs due to abundant supply. Margins will move to near zero? Companies will become more like public good suppliers than profitable organizations?
@echrepairs@KenWongUSA@Tslachan To be fair that’s because there aren’t gas semis, only diesel. :) but agreed, lumping diesel in with gas is disingenuous.
@JordanEVGuy@grok, clarify if the US/NASA is taking on the costs of this themselves or if this burden is funded by partner organizations in the ISS? Surely, it isn't international if we carry the burden by ourselves to deorbit?
@Thatbrian Franklin TN has a really bad infestation of poisonous spiders and snakes, high crime rates (300 people killed every day), and radon numbers in EVERY home that are through the roof. Good luck with one of the others.
When do AI agent connectors become table stakes for services, ie I shouldn't have to log into my bank any more, I should just be able to talk with my agent to do what needs to be done.
@SawyerMerritt The evening hours are scaling with the cleaning capability. The scale of vehicle cleanup needed from 2am-4am is vastly more than during any daytime hours. =)
@DRVRLES@HinrichsZane There is a counter action to that… you can raise prices and still have enough buyers at that higher price for your production capacity.
