@ripplebrain Part of the reason you referred to Iran as a poor country is the billions of dollars of oil money on their military they spent over infrastructure

2020: No one can detect the F-35
2023: Maybe the F-35 can be detected under certain conditions by advanced militaries
2025: One of the poorest countries in the world can detect and lock on to the F-35 but can't hit it
2026: A poor country can detect, lock on to, and hit the F-35 and force it to make an emergency landing but it can't destroy it in the air
I wonder what the future holds

Anyone arguing that minor damage to a US aircraft, sustained while lollygagging over hostile airspace is an epoch altering event is arguing the US military is so strong that the mere damaging of one of its weapons is a great feat.

While taking questions earlier in the Oval Office alongside Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, President Trump was asked by a Japanese reporter why the United States did not inform allies - like Japan - prior to strikes against Iran, to which he responded:
“Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much, you know. When we go in, we went in very hard, and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise? Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”

@JCChristopher @elonmusk They panic breaked and took it out of FSD accidentally for sure

I went to the exact same location of the Cybertruck accident shown in the Fox News video. This is the US-69/59 Eastex Freeway northbound HOV lane at the Y-split near the Eastex Park & Ride exit (approaching from downtown Houston toward Humble). In the Fox News video, the vehicle failed to follow the right curve, going straight into the barrier.
Well, I tested it twice today with Tesla FSD engaged the entire time with zero human intervention. And unless you think I am a hologram speaking to you from another dimension now, it worked out really well. Here is the video of me taking the exact same curve twice, with Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5.

Why This Feels Like a War Crime?
In any other era, if you were out of ammo or cornered, there was a slim chance of surrender or a "fair" end. But you can't surrender to a kamikaze drone. It doesn't have a heart, it doesn't take prisoners, and it doesn't understand mercy.

Yes, AI5 will power Robotaxi and Optimus.
This is edge compute.
What does that look like at scale?
Global AI data centers today draw roughly 30 GW (vast majority inference).
That is the equivalent of 120 million Optimus bots with AI5 inference compute (~250W each) if running flat out.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
AI5 will punch far above its weight, because the entire Tesla AI software stack is designed to make maximally effective use of every circuit. We co-signed our AI software and hardware. Bear in mind that AI5, while it can be used for training in data centers, is primarily optimized for AI edge compute in Optimus and Robotaxi. There is still significant room for improvement. In the same half reticle and same process node, we think a single AI6 chip has the potential to match a dual SoC AI5.

@OocTobeyM It is, they're using a Stark Industries 8k nano-camera idiot

I always thought Spider-Man’s mask was skin-tight…
English
Tesla’s forthcoming AI5 uses a half-reticle design, which is crucial for yield. A reticle defines the imaging area of a lithography machine, fitting two chips per shot effectively doubles yield.
This means the Tesla chip design team had to carefully manage die features, for instance dropping the older ISP (and classic GPU) to make room for more AI cores.
By contrast, NVIDIA’s Blackwell fills nearly a full reticle, making it a single-reticle design.
If Tesla hits its compute and efficiency targets with AI5 in this half-reticle format, it’s almost like cutting fab requirements in half.
And this has a big impact on Terafab, especially if it carries forward for AI6, AI7, etc.
phil beisel@pbeisel
Terafab may be the most essential vertical integration Tesla has ever undertaken— and it is truly non-optional. It will take years to build and will test even Elon’s speedrunning abilities to the limit, but that won’t stop him from trying. The breakthrough likely lies in overhauling the overall facility’s cleanroom model. By moving wafers in sealed pods with localized micro-environments, the fab no longer needs a monolithic ultra-clean space. Elon’s line about “eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars” on the fab floor isn’t silly, it’s the practical reality of a radically simpler, cheaper, faster approach that could finally change the economics of chipmaking. This is all forced by the brutal “pinch” in chip supply. Tesla must produce on the order of 100–200 billion AI chips per year just to saturate its roadmap. That volume powers: FSD cars & Robotaxis (tens of millions of vehicles needing AI5 inference for near-perfect autonomy), Physical Optimus (scaling from thousands today to millions per year, each requiring AI5/AI6-level compute), Digital Optimus (the new xAI-Tesla software agents for digital/office automation, running massive inference clusters), Space-based data centers (AI7/Dojo3 orbital compute for GW-scale training and inference beyond Earth limits). AI5 delivers the ~10× leap for vehicles and early robots; AI6 shifts focus to Optimus + terrestrial DCs; AI7 goes orbital. No external foundry (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) can deliver that scale or timeline— hence the Terafab launch. Without it, the entire robotics + autonomy future hits a brick wall. Terafab isn’t optional; it’s the only way forward.

@avidseries I treat podcasts as a chat with friends in my living room, featuring people I want to hear things from.
Hearing people's stories and perspectives, that one insightful line You remember after zoning out for 15 minutes, that's what podcasts are all about. Inherently inefficient

I've never listened to a podcast for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I don't have the patience to listen to people ramble on while I wait for them to talk about something I might be interested in. I'm not sure there's ever been a less efficient way to transmit information.

@sentdefender Oh no did Trump just 3 Day Military Operation Iran we're so cooked
English
Speaking earlier in the Oval Office, President Trump stated regarding his current thoughts on the Iran War: “Iran is just a military operation to me. Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days because the Navy was wiped out almost immediately. The Air Force came next. The anti-aircraft came next. I mean, we're flying over Iran. We could take out their electric capacity in one hour. We have all the -- there's nothing they can do right now because everything is knocked out. They have no radar, no anti-aircraft. They have nothing.”
