Optimus robots are watching billions of hours of human behavior doing tasks on YouTube. By the time it is delivered to your door in 2029, it will follow you around while you demonstrate how you wash, dry, fold the clothes and put away. Or anything else. With a target price of $20,000 and multi-year payment plans, the lure will be inescapable for busy home owners.
@MAGANEWS_X No. He doesn't have a trillion dollars. It's only a stock valuation. Plus, more than any other super-rich, he plows every dollar back into his companies, creating thousands of jobs. Leave him alone.
Nobody is talking about it, but there is a massive collaboration, a massive sharing of knowledge globally. Across all nations.
I want to live to be 100, a simple old man cheering and encouraging every new development. Such a marvelous time to be alive.
AI is spreading like a wildfire because most of the code is shared. It's called open source and that's why the models are so similar. Thousands of companies have the same exact software anchor for their new breakthroughs.
The.Electric Vehicle manufacturing boom is because Tesla shared patents globally and the Chinese fiercely grabbed the knowledge and ran with it. Elon said, "here's how we do it. See if you can make it better." Even more exciting is that the companies are copying Elon, and sharing the innovations in Chinese vehicles.
Elon Musk holds an openly hostile attitude towards patents, stating that "patents are for the weak". He views intellectual property protections as major obstacles to human advancement rather than incentives for creation. He wins by velocity of change. "My people can change faster than your people".
Sir Demis Hassabis, forever changed protein mapping. In 60 years, only 1% of proteins had a known physical structure. He used a supercomputer to predict the structure of of all 200 million known proteins after an entire year of calculations and gave it away free to science. He believes most diseases will be cured within a decade and that's far more important than his financial gain.
The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland has shared the physics breakthrough research with over 110 countries. Virtually every huge telescope on Earth and in space shares the resulting imagery publicly after processing. The United Nations has a dozen funded, openly shared science projects. Dozens of satellites are beaming down a vast trove of scientific data that anyone can acquire.
Everyone knows the Human Genome Project and the International Space Station. They have made priceless contributions to human knowledge.
This fantastic collaboration, this global uplifting of humanity, faces two threats in my opinion. One is a dominating scientific discovery based on an evil intent. The second is religious anti-science fanaticism that creates chaos.
Neither will be able to stop this marvelous future from happening.
Jamie Dimon called Elon Musk "our Einstein " What an insult! Einstein had one patent and had a few ideas others used. Elon acts! He's the new Thomas Edison, dramatically changing human culture. Better than Edison, he has been the inspiration for thousands of others to produce new innovations and the catalyst for thinking big.
I don't know the consequences of having instant solutions, instant directions, instant explanations for every thought in my head. It feels powerful, liberating, indispensable.
I'm asking Gemini AI all kinds of questions when I'm watching the news or a science program I'm trying to understand. I feel that anything I want to know is now available, and all I have to do is frame the question properly. If I don't understand, it dumbs it down for me. Thus, for the first time, I'm always carrying my phone.
Neurolink (Musk, again) has already proven that chips embedded in the brain can respond to the thoughts of quadriplegics. If the path can go one way, why not the other? Will a brain chip replace my cell phone? What happens if I only have to think of something, and the AI in my head explains it in a way I easily understand? The concept of "education" will disappear. Books are horribly inefficient vehicles for learning. No schools. This has been forecast for decades in science fiction (the Borg) and now seems surprisingly close, with real progress being made in the brain-computer link.
What if the breakthrough occurs in 20 years? Will you have your child's brain implanted after the skull stops growing? If you don't, your child will be mentally challenged compared to those who do.
@RightScopee No. What a stupid, thoughtful post by someone incapable of critical thinking employing a false empathy. He doesn't have a trillion to spend on himself. He reinvests everything in new US factories and science. Make him a 2 trillionaire and you'd be even better off.
@FLSUN19@elonmusk Neither man practices Christianity. That religion starts with the rape of a teen, killing her son, demanding people to eat his dead flesh or be thrown into a pit of fire. And if you think that's bad, look at what Muslims demand.
China has already won.
They were excluded from the International Space Station because they copy technology.
They were excluded from purchasing the best computer chips or chip building equipment.
They have been scorned as people who have to cheat on patents because they don't have the ability to do it themselves.
China's response was to become a country of engineers. Over a decade ago, I first warned that this will overpower the US. They graduate more engineers every year than the TOTAL college graduates in the US.
Engineers run China. Lawyers and accountants run America. They don't spend trillions of dollars on wars to protect what they already have. They spend trillions on engineering projects all over the globe. They have the engineering capacity the US can't touch. Engineers learn from mistakes. They learn and then build better.
The Chinese built their own space station. It's better. They built their own Artificial Intelligence chips and they may be better than Nvidia (https://t.co/pza7mqQAVX a Chinese immigrant in the US). They build better, cheaper cars - blocked by the US government to keep citizens from knowing Chinese superiority. They have, by far, the world's greatest amount of electric power. They have leading innovations in every area of science- robots, telescopes, medical, computer software.
This nation of engineers is seeking domination of the people of the world through building infrastructure and replaces the sad, tired, US model of domination through military threats of annihilation.
Trump and Putin need to stand down. An unprecedented era of global wealth creation has already begun. Don't protect the pie. Grow the pie. Starlink gives everyone a piece of pie. That should be the new US model.
rapid fsd EV taxi service will drop travel cost to $200 to $300 and that assumes no further cost reductions in manufacturing or batteries.
Garages become new living space. People will treat travel like the electric utility - hardly ever thinking about it. It's just there.
Families with maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs currently at $1,000 ‐ $2,000 will abandon their ICE vehicles for taxi services. Even if there are no further breakthroughs or innovations, a rapidly available fsd EV taxi service will drop travel cost to $200 to $300
