@elonmusk Needs a 🍌 for scale

@EcoFlowTech Better hope you don't have a set of batteries from your other Ultra, because the cables won't work properly and you have no way to identify which cables are for the Ultra and which ones are for the X.

Jensen Huang just gutted the AI job panic with one profession.

Radiology.

The field AI was supposed to kill first.

Jensen Huang: “Computer vision was superhuman in 2019. And yet, the number of radiologists grew.”

Not competitive. Not close. Superhuman.

Every forecast said radiologists were finished.

Every forecast was wrong.

Not slightly wrong. Directionally wrong.

There are now fewer radiologists than the world needs. A global shortage. In the exact specialty AI was supposed to erase.

Why?

Because the task was never the job.

Huang: “The purpose of your job and the tasks and the tools that you use to do your job are related. Not the same.”

Reading a scan is a task.

Diagnosing disease is a purpose.

AI handled the task. The purpose didn’t shrink. It compounded.

Faster reads meant more patients seen. More patients seen meant more disease caught. More disease caught meant more demand for the people who decide what to do about it.

The tool did not kill the job. It fed it.

Then the fear did what the technology never could.

Huang: “The alarmist warning went too far and it scared people from doing this profession that is so important to society. It did harm.”

People heard radiologists were finished and walked away from the field.

Medicine bled talent it could not afford to lose.

Not because the work vanished. Because the panic said it would.

The prediction was wrong. The damage was real.

Huang: “The number of software engineers at Nvidia is going to grow, not decline.”

Not hold steady. Grow.

The company building the infrastructure that automates code is hiring more of the people who write it.

Huang: “I wanted my software engineers to solve problems. I didn’t care how many lines of code they wrote.”

Nobody ever hired an engineer to type. They hired them to think.

When the machine handles syntax, the engineer does not become obsolete. The bottleneck just moves upstream. To architecture. To edge cases. To the kind of reasoning no model handles alone.

The world was never short on unsolved problems.

It was short on people free to chase them.

That is the part the fear narrative misses every single time.

340,000 women once worked as telephone switchboard operators.

That job is gone. Nobody mourns it.

What replaced it created millions of roles that nobody in 1920 had the vocabulary to describe.

The losses are always visible. The gains are always invisible until they arrive.

That pattern has survived every technological shift in history.

It is surviving this one.

The people forecasting mass displacement are making the same mistake as the people who forecasted the end of radiology.

They can see the task being automated.

They cannot see the purpose expanding underneath it.

That blindness is not just wrong.

It is expensive.

Every person scared out of a career that AI will actually make more valuable is a cost the economy absorbs for nothing.

Not because of the technology.

Because of the story told about it.

@stackerco I plan to span my lessons over a two Sunday period. The first week will end with a take home challenge to the EQ to apply some of the things we discussed. And the follow up lesson gives us a chance to follow-up and see how we did and to discuss deeper.

This is a worthy project you should get behind! Also, he's got a benchmark that needs breaking ;) Check this out, fully offline AI and knowledge, all for free. What an amazing idea he has created.

@mrfundman I've been using mine in that exact spot for a year now and it's just fine. I'm tested it on the windshield and found it more than annoying to look at all the time. Very little speed difference.

@DirtyTesLa Just breakdown and do this. https://t.co/EYtfnoffdE

@RepNancyMace Why did you address yourself as we? Are there more than one of you!? I'm okay if there are.

@StvNeely @YosefAdde @theUMreal Time to master that crane style

@elonmusk Should have said.

@ladystormbreak1 @ChrisMartzWX There are no toxic chemicals in PV Cells. Primarily composed of Glass, silicon and aluminum.

@jameswdewey @Schaffrillas Oddly specific use case. But yeah, they are great cameras.

@GeneralTurd @Schaffrillas That ship sailed with the 1st Amendment

@RetroNewsNow @longshotauthor Harry needs in on this.

@SawyerMerritt That jerkyrigseverything d-bag is gonna have mad excuses for this!

@movetobeaufort @ChrisMartzWX Ground coupled hear pump ftw. Out building for the heat. Supplement with solar and battery.

@elonmusk we need WOPR's voice for Grok.

@briandstone Depends on the type of fireplace. If electric, put that TV wherever, but if that fireplace is gas, then you should read the manufacturers guidance on heat. I recently remodeled my home and old fireplace was replaced with one that produced more heat and we had no mantle as well.

This is one of the sides of my Software Truck I hate. They get to dictate what I keep and do not get to keep. If it were a non-smart Truck (dumb?) they would issue a physical recall and you would have the choice to bring it in or not. This forced recall via software is kinda shitty.
