Realizing a child born today might have a chance to see the year 2100

Important for everyone to know: Liam’s parents didn’t enter the US illegally. They presented at a port of entry, requested asylum and were waiting for their hearing. Many of the families ICE has been snatching off the streets are like this. Immigrants who entered legally!

This.

I’ve seen Elon’s work ethic up close for years, so I can say this honestly. Almost every time I have met Elon, he has been working and grinding hard. The first time I met him was in San Francisco around 11pm. He had already spent the entire day working at Tesla and then went straight to Twitter headquarters. It was late, but he was still fully focused and working. Months later, in October, I visited him again. It was late evening on a weekend, and once again, he was working. No breaks, no downtime. He was even working on his birthday. Last month, when I met him again, it was a Sunday evening and he was deep into xAI work. This has been consistent for years. Seven days a week. He is driven by a mission to make humanity multi planetary. He understands the urgency and believes we are running out of time. Even with all the money in the world, he does not take vacations, does not own a yacht, and does not live in some fancy mansion. He lives simply, loves his work, and stays extremely disciplined. So anyone saying he had time to party on an island is telling a blatant lie.

Not a single Epstein client has been prosecuted. Not even one. They have names They have flight logs They have island visitors They have videos They have photos They have evidence What’s the point of releasing the list if no prosecution is ever made?

Not only was Democrat Stacey Plaskett texting Epstein during a congressional hearing, she was also a frequent visitor to Epstein’s island.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Cathie discussing SpaceX convergence on orbital data centers and reusable rockets with Peter and friends. Ark and team deserve a ton of credit for not only recognizing that last year was the right time to begin diving deep into SpaceX modeling, but also for being so generous with crediting us for the help that we provided. Every single time Cathie discusses the open source model, she goes out of her way to mention that it was a collaborative effort with Mach33. In my experience, Ark is a high character organization and I’m proud to work with them. Thank you for giving us a shot early on. I’m very excited for the next model release! We are hard at work on it.

David Sacks: “ The Democrats want to thwart mass deportations because illegal immigrants are a vital part of their power base.” 🚨 “And you can see this in the 2030 apportionment forecast, which just came out.” “Illegal aliens count towards the census, which occurs every decade, and the census determines the apportionment of congressional seats and electoral votes.” “And what you see in these maps is that citizens of blue states have been migrating to red states because those blue states are failing.” “As a result of that, blue states are expected to lose nine house seats and electoral votes because of the changing population numbers.” “Illegal aliens in blue states have been propping up those numbers, and so for example, in the last election, President Trump would've won an additional nine electoral votes if we had an accurate accounting.”

Btw, for those horrified about the prospect of a million AI data center satellites orbiting the earth, Elon is correct when he says space is huge. Earth’s circumference is about 25,000 miles. So if you spaced satellites every 1/2 mile from each other, you could put 50,000 satellites in orbit in one ring at say 500 km. Then if you made another ring at 550 km (that’s 50 km spacing between rings), that’s another 50,000 satellites. Keep going and by the time you’ve hit the orbital ring at 1,500 km, you’ve got your 1 million satellites. In 20 layered orbital rings on top of each other. And there are thousands of these one million stacked orbits you could do with inclination changes, and going further out from the earth, etc.

The scale of China's energy grid is insanely large and highly increasing In 2025, they held 33.2% of the global electricity generation more than double the USA (~14.2%) That's 1/3 of the worlds capacity Then the rest of the World combined ends up with 52.6% An absolute dominant force in global power generation

Elon is not messing around. SpaceX has just filed an application with the FCC seeking authority to launch and operate a massive new satellite constellation dedicated to orbital data centers. ITS HAPPENING. Tesla Terafab is next.
