@EricLDaugh I wouldn't talk at night like this in Portland anymore.... Or Seattle.

🚨 JUST IN: While France burns, Polish Member of European Parliament Dominik Tarczynski is WALKING THROUGH Krakow LATE at night, showing all of Europe it's PERFECTLY CALM

"Look how safe we are. Churches are safe. Because we did not let them in. Zero means zero. 'Be like Poland' means be brave." 🇵🇱🇺🇸

"We know what jihadists are capable of. We do not know what second or third generation of so-called refugees will do. Well, actually we do know... we can see what is happening in France."

There are no riots, no burning buildings and no police lines

Poland refused the EU's migrant relocation quotas, and the EU's top court ruled against it. Poland didn't budge!

In the same 24 hours, France's major streets and businesses are burning and being ransacked by leftists, Islamists and invaders

EVERY NATION CAN BE LIKE THIS. It's a matter of CHOICE

BREAKING: Four European telecom giants are joining forces to challenge Elon Musk’s Starlink.

Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone have signed a letter of intent to explore a joint bid for spectrum to deliver satellite connectivity directly to phones.

Four telecom giants. Still no Falcon 9. Still no Starship. SpaceX has no competition. Period.

Demonstrating a @Tesla with FSD to an elderly neighbor. She’s a perfect candidate: rich, lives alone, no longer drives at night due to poor vision. FSD would change her life.

She would write a check for one today EXCEPT the text on the screen is too damned small. Even with the display adjusted to large print.

Tesla, you’ve got 100 square inches to play with. Create an optional “old fogey” UI with minimum 48-point type.

Remember, as @tom_peters says… women over 50 have All The Money and control all the car purchases. And they mostly wear bifocals.

Elon Musk to donate one @SpaceX share to ~72 million kids in America in 2027, currently valued at $10.5 billion, presumably through Trump Accounts.

Every kid in America will then have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

[Sudo su @sudoingX]

i owe the new people here an intro

hey, i'm sudo, i run local models on my metal every day, my 24gb laptop, a 128gb strix halo and 2x dgx sparks, and i post the numbers and the exact commands so you can run the same thing at home

i do most of this for free, the tools too:
> a one-line installer, 8gb and up
> serve recipes for the big models
> my own model builds on huggingface

last week that was an uncensored 27b at 50.8 tok/s on a 12gb card, the whole model in a 6gb file anyone can download

and i help as many people as i can get started, in the replies and dms, so if you're new here anon, reply with your gpu and how much vram it has and i'll point you at the first model to run on it

Are you figuring out what you want to build?

Build something for AI agents to use.

Build for AI agents as your PRIMARY user.

See what happens.

@WSJ Writing this headline about this out-of-this-word presentation marking a monumental technical achievement reiterates that WSJ has given up writing credible accounts of reality for regular people to read.

[Lionel Mora @lionel_mora]

In July we open-sourced a dynamic graph of everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts, 3,221 dependencies.

Now we’re turning every concept into interactive experiments kids can play and learn from.

First one, age 7: heat and water.

Everything that used to be a boring textbook can now be an engaging experience, potentially tailored to every child.

Kids education just got a massive upgrade.

Great time this afternoon hanging out with my friend @Yazen_101. Walked around Beacon Rock State Park

Today we are all learning that compressed air is maybe more powerful than we thought like 24 hours ago.....also it makes cars fly too.

Do you want to know what the biggest vote of confidence ever is? A customer direct calling you after a group meeting and asking...."ok, tell me what you are using.... How did you get this answer so quickly, and with such detail and context?".....

This just happened, and it's a signal that I'm on the right track.....

[DHH @dhh]

Starship, Starlink, Grok, and Roadster. These should all have been Sputnik moments for Europe. Triggered immediate deregulation, mobilization of capital, and ambition to catch up. And that's just the work of Elon's companies alone. But what do we get? A hollowed out EU Inc 💀

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Emotional the next morning. I'm in my Model 3. I haven't been looking at the road; I've been looking at videos, reading X, and trying to catch up on AI.

I'm heading to a humanoid robotics conference in San Francisco where, let's be honest, there's an elephant in the room that hasn't been seen: Optimus. Jason Calacanis told me yesterday that as cool as the demo of the Roadster was, Optimus is going to be even cooler, and I believe him.

We're heading into a new age, and we're seeing a fight between the builders and innovators who are creating new things with AI, and the people who are resisting:
• Those who don't want a data center in their backyard
• Those who don't want autonomous cars because they think they will steal jobs
• Those who don't want humanoid robots in their stores or businesses because it upsets, disrupts, and changes their lives

There is a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But we are clearly in a new world today, very different from yesterday. I'm riding in an autonomous car, something most people haven't had a chance to experience yet. We're heading into a world of autonomy, brain-computer interfaces, rocket cars, glasses that augment the world, new kinds of medical technologies, and entirely new ways to live life.

It's a scary time for people who don't like change, and they are resisting hard. But there is a growing group of people who want to accelerate into the future. Elon, for all his flaws, is inspiring multiple industries. I've been traveling to robotics and space companies around America, seeing the latest startups and trying to understand how new technologies arriving daily are transforming business, manufacturing, and commerce. Invariably, they are inspired by Elon. Even the Chinese EV companies were inspired by him (some even ripped off his technology).

I'm emotional today because for the last 15 years (actually, all the way back to the Apple II), people resist change and give innovators a lot of shit. How many arguments have I had with people about LiDAR? And I'm not talking about uninformed people; I'm talking about veterans in the tech and automotive industries.

Last week, I was hanging out with 2,500 Tesla fans down in Texas, and I kept hearing stories, particularly from Cybertruck owners, about getting flipped off on American roads and people trying to bash or wreck their cars.

It's not just a Tesla thing; I've heard this from pioneers all my life. Doug Engelbart came to my first book launch party and told me about getting fired from his own R&D lab because his ideas were too futuristic and people got tired of him. He was talking about a day when we'd all hold a supercomputer in our hands, but he was saying that back in 1971.

It's these pioneers and engineers I'm thinking about today: the people like Elon who bring something new to the world while everyone gives them grief. I remember taking my first ride in the original Tesla Roadster. I was so excited that I came back to Silicon Valley to talk to founders and VCs (I had a privileged position in the industry back then), and I couldn't find anyone who thought he would succeed. They dismissed it as the folly of a rich dude, telling me there was no way he could take on traditional automakers like GM, Ford, VW, BMW, or Toyota, and no way he could build a profitable car company. There were rare believers back in 2008, like Steve Jurvetson, but they were few and far between.

Getting people to believe in a new idea, adopt it, and change their lives with it is extremely difficult. Unless you have a front-row seat, you don't realize how much flak people take simply for being early.

Now I'm heading into San Francisco to see a bunch of robots and talk to robotics companies. Robotics hasn't fully arrived yet, but it's starting to gain believers and customers. A wave of new companies is coming: Y Combinator alone funded around 25 robotics startups in their last batch, a huge shift from just two or three a few years ago. Something is cooking

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

New Roadster is
beyond movies,
beyond imagination,
beyond human,
yet still made
by humans
