@Phonenurd During nighttime do you keep it closed/folded or do you intentionally open it to reduce stress on the display?

@Bassmaster187 @degrowth666 Die 4680 Zellen in den Junipers sind full Dry electrode, das waren die bisherigen 4680 Zellen für die cybertrucks nicht. Ich denke es wird wieder so sein wie bei der Einführung der LFP-Akkus. Aktuell in der Lernphase, später Software Update mit freischaltung des vollen Potentials

@KyleHessling1 Is this version already using TurboQuant compression?

@_Investinq From my point of view the first thing that’ll happen is you can throw a book, a novel or whatever at a movie AI model and it’ll create the whole movie, documentary, whatever from it. It means power to the authors and I think that’s a good thing!

If you think AI is still far far away…

[jack @jack]

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

At some point it will be futile to discuss whether AI can come up with new ideas or not or if it has consciousness or not. When we will not be able to tell the difference any more, the discussion will root in human vanity alone and show the pettiness of our own existence.

[Julius Vu @julius_vu]

Experienced Grok unhinged in my Tesla for the very first time. One of the most exhilarating and funny moments in my life 🤣 If you haven’t experienced it yet, go try it out… and record the moment because nothing hits as hard as the first time. P.S. don’t bring mom or dad 😂

[Julius Vu @julius_vu]

@his_eminence_j @JoeWilliams010 Aha, last time I looked up what humans are made of I only found non-living things like O, C, H, N, Ca, etc. (Re)combination and complex organization of elemental simple atoms leads to new (unthinkable) qualities and abilities. The same will happen with LLMs or their successors.

Man könnte das Schulsystem revolutionieren. Wenn die Entscheidungsträger verstünden wie Alpha School funktioniert. Also steht die Umsetzungswahrscheinlichkeit bei 0% 😂

One day the moment will come where I can post every single day, maybe even every single hour, about scientific breakthroughs by AI. Everyone saying AI is just another tool: wake up! Or get steamrolled by reality.

[Patrick OShaughnessy @patrick_oshag]

I spent last night with Andrew Strominger and Alex Lupsasca, two of the top physicists in the world

They just released a paper, co-authored with OpenAi, that seems to me like ASI

Andrew, who helped develop string theory, told me that a year ago, his view was that he didn’t know how helpful AI was going to be.

A year later, after some back and forth with GPT 5.2 pro, they submitted a final query to an internal model which solved AND proved a previously unsolved problem in quantum field theory…in 12 hours.

A model, doing something two of the smartest people in the world in their field couldn’t do. And, when I was with them, they were giddy with excitement for what might lay ahead.

Andy said “It is the first time I’ve seen AI solve a problem in my kind of theoretical physics that might not have been solvable by humans.”

They said, “two things changed: the model improved and we figured out how to talk to it.”

Andy also told me “I also now feel that with the recent advances, most physicists who want to keep up with the frontiers of progress will need to learn how to talk to it. That wasn’t true a year ago.”

ASI is here, just not evenly distributed.

@BrettFromDJ Best analysis on why this Desaster happened in the first place. Thanks for your on-point depiction of what happened.

@mike_matas Not sure this is fitting for a half-a-million dollar car… looks more like coming from a Mercedes Smart than a Ferrari to be honest.

Die in Deutschland verkauften Teslas weisen eine deutlich schlechtere Qualität als die in Frankreich auf. Franzosen werden bevorzugt, ein Skandal.

What a shock for the Tesla haters: Auto Plus, the car magazine with the biggest audience in France (by far), awards the reliability crown to Tesla in 2026!

[Axiom @axiommathai]

1/ AxiomProver has solved Fel’s open conjecture on syzygies of numerical semigroups, autonomously generating a formal proof in Lean with zero human guidance.

This is the first time an AI system has settled an unsolved research problem in theory-building math and self verifies.
