Fable 5 seems outstanding so far. Wheeeee!

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

We can keep going.. shall we keep going?

[Ben Pettigrew @BenPettigrew86]

@ylecun @elonmusk Or solar roof tiles… or Tesla Semi cheaper than rail… or hyperloop…

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

Also a Cybertruck that actually lives up to its reveal.

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

@elonmusk And the Tesla Roadster will be commercially available at some point within the next 1 million years.
Possibly even before Level-4 FSD.

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

Agree

In addition to enterprises pushing to better understand token costs, I think the consumer models (I use many) are "trying less hard" recently. Meaning, trying to do answer without web search. Angling to give up sooner. I have to believe this is a result of cost optimization.

The same country that put humans on the Moon in 1969 now takes an average of 4.5 years to approve major infrastructure permits.. longer than it took to build the Panama Canal. 

Transmission lines average 10 years from permitting to completion. The bottleneck to abundance is not technology, but BUREAUCRACY!

@yishan Thank you!

@PhilipJohnston "...batteries to store that energy when the sun's not there"

You may want batteries for other reasons, but if the sun's not there we have a whole slew of more important problems...

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

ALL of them.

[Naval @naval]

Software platforms are going to be rebuilt for agent-first.

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@Tesla Yes, I have a 2018 Model 3 with “FSD”, and this is how I feel.

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@garrytan Very good. Code is not an asset, it’s a liability, in this era just as in the past. LFG!

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@garrytan Sure, but in the 1990s, the best founders were thinking about assembly, not viewing source.

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@pmarca @slatestarcodex And now they’re both permanently deaf!

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@paulg @charliermarsh Yes

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@garrytan Music is magic!

@ChuckCook @Delta @JetBlue @Starlink Paging @AlaskaAir

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

@CharlieBull0ck @_NathanCalvin Terrible idea, unless you are being paid by China to help make sure they win.

[Zane Hengsperger @zanehengsperger]

you are $300 away from a factory

one of my favorite customers started a 200 employee fab shop with $300

he bought a welder off fb marketplace, started welding stuff for friends, and grew the business 7 years later to where he was doing work for the primes

yes having a welder in your garage is a factory

[Jason Thane @nonrespondo]

Huzzah!

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

It's time to make new software, not recreate old software

When the form changes, what you create must change

In all of human history, has there ever been a commodity with infinite demand, as there appears to be for intelligence? I can't think of one. Even compute, energy or just silicon/sand are just downstream of intelligence, which is the main demand driver.

In economics, rather than modeling the usual price/demand curve to reach an equilibrium, perhaps you'd have to model price/*rate of demand growth* (ie, the derivative of demand, or some other indicator of velocity)

Interestingly, ChatGPT (below) prefers the framework of "recursive expansion of demand" as increasing intelligence opens new applications/markets.

But the end result is the same -- the demand curve keeps moving to the right, maybe forever.

Which I think is unprecedented.
