Today a family with young children was just saved from the hands of a drunkard thanks to Tesla and its industry-leading vehicle safety.

Also, thanks to Tesla, there's enough evidence to throw the useless former politician in a cell so that maybe someone else can be spared.

you're telling me anthropic & google are paying spacex ~$26b a year for compute?!!

this is more than half the run rate of openai & anthropic just from compute deals & that doesn't even factor in the rocket launches at all.

elon accidentally ended up owning a significant portion of three of the scarcest assets in ai.. power, chips, & physical deployment capability. the best lesson here is that if you’re selling picks & shovels during a gold rush, you don’t necessarily need to find the gold. you just need everyone else to keep digging. & also non software elon is pretty much unstoppable, like prime michael jordan type thing.

I strive to make my writing unsummarizable, in the sense that it has so little fluff left in it that if you take any words out, as summaries by definition do, you lose a lot of interesting ideas.

During a pitch a prominent VC once told us the market size for global logistics was only $6B.

My CFO’s response: “So you’re saying it’s smaller than the market for USB cables?”

I just bought a Tesla Model Y

Full Self Driving is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I’ve ever experienced.

I now wish I’d got it a year ago.

[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol

a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion

and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:

every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone

instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS

when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.

it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall

the cows learn the cues in a few days

so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate

and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.

it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field

so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol

and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm

it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.

they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly

it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.

California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires

costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month

a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone

We are rolling out a new version of Grok Build checkpoint.

You should expect:
- more parallel tool calling behavior
- better ability to ask you questions
- slightly better presentation

critical feedback is always appreciated!

[steijnpelle @steijnpelle]

Today, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z.

We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices.

Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month.

To get here, we first had to leave Robinhood and Superhuman to work in offices ourselves.

Here's how that went.

[Jean-Denis Greze 💡 @jgreze]

Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you.

We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction.

Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents.

We think that’s backwards.

The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you.

Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so.

All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time.

Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.

The Star Wars-inspired Ringbot has received a major upgrade and is now called Ringbot Quad.

Developed by Professor Joohyung Kim and his team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the new version features four legs instead of two.

Rather than using a traditional drivetrain, it moves with four independent driving modules, each connected to a leg.

A wonderful discussion with the co-host of the popular Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis: @alexwg.

He has such a long list of accomplishments that I had Grok write them up for you: https://t.co/ij5vf6Ngvi

Started 40 companies. Is one of the biggest innovators of our day.

We talked about many things, Grok will give me a list after I post which I'll leave in the comments.

The singularity is here, he lays out, and then we discuss what it will mean to be human on the other side.
