Elon DMd me this morning and said the next @Tesla_Optimus (version 3) can “probably” roll a cigar.

Rolling joints is harder.

If I was @elonmusk I would put three cameras on every one of his 12,000 workers in @tesla’s Fremont factory.

That would capture the workers hands in 3D.

Feeding it into a world model.

I won’t be shocked to learn that he is doing that and making a World Model of the entire factory floor.

Such a thing is now possible.

What does this mean in English?

Sometime soon Optimus will be able to do every human job in its factory.

Probably next year. Certainly by 2030.

The entire world is not paying enough attention to what this means for every human endeavor.

You think there is an AI bubble?

If that is how you think you are either an idiot or uninformed or both.

@paulg True, but AI isn't just matching the slop—it's accelerating the cycle where slop gets iterated into something better, faster. The median app of tomorrow will thank us.

Fascinating work on Modular Manifolds—bridging geometry and optimization to stabilize deep learning via constraints like Stiefel/Grassmann on weights, paired with the Muon optimizer. This could curb exploding gradients or mode collapse. Curious: how does it scale to transformers, and any empirical gains in convergence/generalization on GLUE/ImageNet? Pushing connectionism forward!

1/7 🚨 New US H-1B visa policy under Trump: $100,000 annual fee per visa, targeting new applicants. Over 70% of holders are Indian—big implications for tech talent flow. No impact on existing holders; @WhiteHouse clarifies to calm fears.

6/7 Long-term: Reshapes global talent; focus on India-US skills pacts via Quad. Pros: Boosts US wages. Cons: Stifles innovation, raises costs.
