Crazy to think the entire West is literally leaning on one single guy to do things at the same level China does

Somewhere along the line, corporate America lost its way.

Companies don’t do cool stuff any more.

There’s no panache. Just slop.

Most CEOs are overpaid bean counters. They have no vision, zero appetite for risk, and spend their time searching for pennies in the couch cushions.

Love Elon or hate him, he builds cool, world-changing stuff.

The world needs more Musks, Disneys, and Jobs.

OpenAI is working hard to empower everyone with intelligence that works for them, in the form of great products which get simpler to use over time.

We're bringing unlimited text chats with Luna, a quite capable model, to free users.

We've also released an updated version of Sol which works for both quick chats and for deep reasoning — historically these have been different models. This unification is a very significant step towards making ChatGPT simpler and more intuitive.

For me personally I'm going to say this was possibly one of the most defining moments when I knew we had entered a timeline that we might never escape.

Jensen is back in the house!!

Jensen and Nvidia have been phenomenal partners. I'm excited to be working closely together as we massively scale up this year

SpaceX: "Today, we are announcing that Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas. The facility will be an advanced semiconductor fab that will bridge the divide between current global chip supply and the compute demand of the future.

The combined SpaceX and Tesla demand for chips is expected to be in excess of 1 terawatt (TW) of compute, which is significantly larger than the current global supply. While we are deeply appreciative of our current chip suppliers, and encourage them to expand production whenever possible, this looming gulf between supply and demand is at the core of Terafab’s necessity.

Terafab will be epic in both its mission and in its sheer size, designed to build new compute at an unprecedented scale and speed. A vertically integrated factory with more than 100 million square feet of manufacturing space is planned. This facility will house the manufacturing, packaging, and testing of advanced logic and memory devices. Bringing these aspects together in one location will enable fast, recursive improvements and accelerate new compute deployed. Terafab will produce chips optimized for edge computing and inference for use in hardware like Tesla’s Optimus robots and self-driving Cybercabs, along with high-power chips designed for operating SpaceX’s space-based data centers.

BRINGING BACK ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TO AMERICA
Advanced chips are becoming foundational infrastructure for the modern economy. AI systems, satellites, secure communications, and advanced manufacturing all depend on reliable access to compute hardware. Much of the world’s semiconductor production remains concentrated overseas, and the United States has recognized the importance of rebuilding advanced manufacturing capacity domestically. Terafab aligns with that broader national effort by expanding high-end manufacturing capacity in Texas.

Texas has become central to our operations through Starbase, Bastrop, and McGregor, thanks to its commitment to innovation, manufacturing, and American leadership. SpaceX’s growing Texas footprint alone has already generated more than 56,000 direct and indirect jobs, over $28 billion in estimated economic impact since 2024, and hundreds of millions in indirect tax revenue since 2024.

The initial phase of Terafab is estimated to require approximately $16.8 billion in capital investments from SpaceX and Tesla, with potential future expansion phases bringing total investment much higher. This facility will employ at least 3,000 people, many of whom will be from Grimes and nearby Brazos County — continuing the trend of our other Texas sites where between 60% and 80% of new hires are local residents.

Grimes County offers strategic advantages for long-term industrial investment, including infrastructure access, available land, and proximity to major Texas markets. This project represents a significant opportunity for skilled trades, construction employment, suppliers and contractors, and long-term technical workforce development. We intend to work with local schools and workforce partners to help create pathways for future employment opportunities, responding to the unique needs of each community.

SpaceX and Tesla also take our role as being good stewards of the environment seriously. The Terafab site is committing to the use of Gibbons Creek Reservoir water for industrial operations rather than local groundwater; planned on-site wastewater treatment facilities; water reuse and conservation efforts; compliance with all applicable environmental and pollution control laws; and management of hazardous materials, chemicals, and industrial byproducts in accordance with all applicable regulations—while striving to exceed them.

BUILDING AN EXCITING FUTURE
We believe continued progress and leadership in space, AI, and advanced manufacturing will depend on the ability to build critical technologies domestically. By building and operating the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet, we’re continuing down a path where future humans can compete over building the largest facilities in the solar system, and eventually the galaxy.

If you want to be a part of building that exciting future, come join us."

Demis Hassabis says AGI is “close at hand”—and is stepping away from Google DeepMind’s day-to-day operations to focus on what comes next.

Hassabis will become:

• Chair of Google DeepMind
• Chief Scientist of Alphabet
• An adviser across Google’s models and frontier research
• Continuing CEO of AI drug-discovery company Isomorphic Labs

Google DeepMind CTO and Alphabet Chief AI Architect Koray Kavukcuoglu will take over daily leadership as SVP. He will oversee Gemini model development, frontier AI research, the Gemini app, and developer teams while reporting directly to Sundar Pichai.

The reorganization separates two increasingly different jobs: commercializing Gemini at massive scale and preparing Alphabet for AGI’s scientific, safety, policy, and societal consequences.

But the timing creates uncertainty. Google also lost Chief Scientist Jeff Dean and prominent researchers Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le, who are leaving to build Discovery Loop.

Google’s next flagship Gemini model also remains delayed, while Alphabet shares fell 4% after the announcement.

Hassabis is not leaving Google or abandoning Gemini.

He is moving above day-to-day execution to concentrate on AGI strategy and AI-driven science because he believes the technology he has pursued his entire career may now be approaching.

Most healthcare begins after something goes wrong... The first sharp pain, headache, severe cough. 
Our system needs to change from reaction to PREVENTION. We need to start measuring things early enough to preserve function before loss becomes too obvious.

🇺🇸 Tucker just laid out a 10-point vision for the country and it's a real answer to a question almost nobody in politics bothers asking: what should America actually be?

Equal justice, no Epstein class living above the law.

Rebuild farming, manufacturing and craftsmanship instead of an economy built on finance and speculation.

Cities worth looking at again.

Officials punished for lying, and the JFK and 9/11 files opened.

Schools teaching how the world actually works.

Families and children treated as the foundation of long-term thinking.

Agree or disagree with the details. At least the man is describing a country somebody would want to live in.

More of this, please.

I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.

I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

On tonight's @TheYoungTurks, Joe Kent said the group that met at Tucker Calrson's house is trying to convince Tucker to run. They think JD Vance is too compromised. He also explained how they're going to try to appeal to the left to get a unity ticket to represent all of America.

[@jason @Jason]

Tucker is running and he’s taking over MAGA / America First America Only

He’s collecting supporters one episode at a time… and there is no one in the GOP today who would beat him.

He’s infinitely more viable than President Trump was in 2016 — infinitely!
