@dotkrueger I'm having dreams about it already

@unusual_whales How is the improvement validated? Isn't this only noticeable after training?

[David Freire @david_fr3ire]

@AlmorTech Did they do this on Claude?

@tiagopita Excelente!

@is_OwenLewis @elonmusk @markusdd5 He said on his last interview that the idea is to buy those machines and adjustment them based on their needs.

Katherine Boyle just identified Elon Musk’s most important contribution to America, and it has nothing to do with the products he shipped.

Boyle, General Partner at a16z: “I think Elon’s most important contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers to work with their hands again.”

For ten years, America’s sharpest technical minds optimized ad clicks and built messaging apps. Software consumed ambition. The physical world became something you abstracted into APIs, not something you touched or understood.

Elon didn’t reverse that through inspiration. He reversed it by building companies that required understanding manufacturing or failing completely.

SpaceX and Tesla forced engineers to learn how metal fractures, how tolerances cascade through systems, how physical iteration costs months and millions per failure. No debugging. No patches. Just physics that doesn’t negotiate.

Boyle: “Training two generations of engineers.”

The product isn’t the cars. It’s the people. Look at who’s founding America’s critical hard-tech companies now. The common thread isn’t Stanford or MIT. It’s time on factory floors at SpaceX or Tesla.

They learned welding. They learned that “impossible” just means unsolved engineering, not violated physics. They learned failure in the physical domain where mistakes compound instead of reverting.

Elon didn’t build companies. He accidentally rebuilt industrial knowledge that had been decaying for thirty years while America’s best minds chased digital scale.

Boyle: “Work with their hands again.”

Three words that sound quaint but describe a civilizational inflection point.

Software dominated because it scaled infinitely at zero marginal cost. Physical manufacturing was slow, expensive, unfashionable. Building real things became what you did if you couldn’t code.

Elon made atoms matter again. Made manufacturing the hardest problem worth solving. Made physical engineering prestigious in ways it hadn’t been since humans walked on the moon.

The evidence is everywhere now. Technical talent that doesn’t default to “which app” but asks “which physical thing should exist that currently doesn’t.”

Ambition redirected from optimizing engagement metrics to building rockets. From scaling users to scaling factories. From virtual products to physical infrastructure.

That shift matters more than any vehicle or spacecraft Musk delivered. Products obsolesce. Redirecting an entire generation’s engineering ambition from digital to physical compounds across decades and rebuilds industrial capability at civilizational scale.

We stopped just coding the future. We started machining it, welding it, breaking it in reality until physics confirms it works. That transformation from virtual to tangible ambition is reconstructing American manufacturing one engineer at a time.

And those engineers are now training the next wave. The compounding has started. The School of Elon doesn’t need Elon anymore. It’s self-sustaining, spreading through an entire generation that learned building real things matters more than building virtual ones.

That’s not just a business achievement. That’s a civilization remembering how to make things that matter in the physical world again. And it might be the only thing that saves American technological leadership when the competition is just building faster because they never forgot.

@dornepab @tesla_club_pt Isn't this going to applicable worldwide from next month? From a training data perspective it makes all sense to have the most people using FSD..

@SawyerMerritt This looks horrible - there is just too much going on everwhere you look.

@RealRicpp @tesla_club_pt Que os outros operadores de postos adoptem o mesmo

@tesla_club_pt Obrigado pelo update. Sou recém proprietário de Tesla ( e primeiro EVE ) e isto e frustrante de ver por todo o lado, especialmente para quem não carrega em casa. Um abraço

[David Freire @david_fr3ire]

@tesla_club_pt Afinal de contas os custos passam sempre para o consumidor.

@tesla_club_pt Uma petição a solicitar agravamento de penas, vigilância extra a AR ajudaria?

@DrBitcoinMD Only thing we can do is be for them and make them strong

[David Freire @david_fr3ire]

@TSLAFanMtl Of course they are deploying this with a fallback mechanism and they will need so for some time, as the software can't possibly handle all edge scenarios Additionally, this is likely a requirement from the regulator until proven safety.
