@BrandonButch Outcome v what you tried to type on iPhone is appallingly poor. Let alone coming close to considering the context of what you’re trying to do and thinking along with it. (Thee typos and incorrect autocorrects just typing this reply).

Apple has FINALLY fixed the iPhone keyboard bug! The release notes for iOS 26.4 say: “improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly.”

One of the wildest intercept videos I have ever seen. First glowing projectile: very likely a Stunner interceptor launched from David’s Sling, climbing toward the incoming MRBM warhead. Second glowing projectile: the incoming MRBM warhead descending toward the ground, evading the interceptor. Third glowing projectile entering from the right: very likely a Tamir interceptor launched from Iron Dome, approaching the MRBM warhead on a near-horizontal trajectory and successfully destroying it. In fact, you can see the interceptor’s flight path begin with a very shallow climb before reversing and flying toward the ground on a very shallow descent. The trajectory and intercept must have occured at the very limits of the system’s safety envelope. H/T to @Etienne_Marcuz for the video.

@MarioNawfal Building seems unlikely, formally starting design work more likely?

In just 7 days, Tesla is going to start building Terafab, that’s their own chip factory from the ground up. They’re done waiting on TSMC and Samsung (who are honestly maxed out) and plan to crank out advanced silicon for autonomous cars, Optimus robots, and AI supercomputers. The goal is brutal: 1 million wafer starts per month by 2030 (matching TSMC's current output) at 2nm nodes, with a $20–25B price tag they can easily cover from their $44B cash pile.

We used to have the best MMOs. Real ones remember: Asheron’s Call, EverQuest, WoW, Guild Wars, Shadowbane, OSRS, The Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes, FFXI, DAoC, The Old Republic, EVE Online, and these are just top of mind. Did we leave out your fave MMO? Do people still play?

Here is an xAI story. When I was first hired (low level) by xAI, I was extremely excited. I greatly admired Elon and what Grok could be. I have a pretty cool AI following here on X. Some big names see my stuff, including Elon himself (at the time). Lex, Beff, Andreessen, Aravind, many others. During the interview and onboarding for xAI, they made a *big deal* about wanting people who "take initiative" and think outside the box. Ok... So, some of the biggest names in tech follow me on X. I decided to ask for ideas and feedback on how Grok (then still early at version 2) could be improved. I asked my followers on X for the best "how can we make Grok awesome?" ideas, and was going to collect them (organized by Grok himself) into a big report for my boss(es) and ultimately, Elon. (xAI makes a big deal about how it's a "flat structure" also. You're supposed to be empowered to act on good ideas.) Well, my post got way more attention than I expected - great! Ideas to improve Grok poured in! I built a script to collect and sort all these great ideas to make xAI's core product better. John Carmack (personal friend of Elon, creator of Doom, id software, legend) retweeted it. Carmack has 1M followers. There were so many great ideas on how to improve Grok! I was collecting them and excited. Until....... I woke up the next day to a threatening email from my main supervisor* at xAI, telling me I had messed up, that I was NEVER to ask for ideas to improve Grok ever again, that it wasn't my job (I thought our job was to improve Grok.) They suspended my account on X. They never explained why. It was obviously related to my post about improving Grok. I was told to delete those posts which had gone viral. I had to delete all the hundreds (thousands?) of genuinely good ideas for improving Grok that had poured in by users on X, because it stepped on someone's toes. It made me confused and sad. Incidents like this happened often, where xAI employees would come in full of excitement and enthusiasm, and would have it stomped out by managers who hated ideas. They filled xAI with middle managers and busybodies. It was one of the most DEI and corporate-y places I've ever worked. I came in wanting Elon and xAI to win and left just sad. *That manager is gone, for what it's worth. Everyone I knew at xAI is gone.

@beffjezos xAI was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up. Same thing happened with Tesla.

NEWS: Elon Musk has formally announced Digital Optimus, a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of @Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Elon: “This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.“
Elon Musk@elonmusk

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a warning to law enforcement agencies in California stating that they have recent intelligence that indicates “Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran,” according to reporting from ABC News.

@aelluswamy @gailalfaratx @Tesla_AI @xai Disproportionate amount of talent joining Anthropic v Xai. Yet one has near infinite bankroll and compute (and founder with strong track record) and the other survives by raising cash every 6 months and is constrained to earth based compute capacity.

In February this year, Tesla registered 17,425 vehicles across 15 major European markets, marking a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. This represents Tesla's first significant year-over-year sales growth in Europe in over a year.
