@JoeJustice @Beth4aa2 Even though it's anecdotal. Still good to hear a first hand story.

@Beth4aa2 The news says what the labor unions want them to say. As a result, it’s the worst in Sweden, bad in Germany, and for reference positive in Japan.

I am working in Europe this April and May. Tesla gets hell in the news, especially in Europe, but still people are signing up to learn what I think I learned about project management and manufacturing while working in Tesla (JoeDX). Course dates and cities are here: en.abi-agile.com/lp/joedx/

@brickbybatman @elonmusk He has risen indeed

@elonmusk Christ is risen!

✝️ Happy Easter! ✝️

Some swag lasts

The "running podcast" idea is underrated as a content format signal. You're essentially dog-fooding what every knowledge worker will do in 5 years — personalized, interactive, on-demand learning that adapts to your questions in real time. The next evolution of podcasting isn't better audio. It's two-way.

@JoeJustice @SirWiseSam Elon said by summer it'll get the coding upgrade to be as good as Claude

@SirWiseSam For now I have to keep grok in the iPad category. Great for dicking around. Not yet appropriate for real, productive, useful or important work.

Dunno about anyone else, but Grok Heavy is complete junk for me at basic coding. It won't run regression tests, won't render it's own output, relies on me to check each iteration with frequent quality regressions. It's worse than a drunk ADHD intern.

@wholemars Move the . over => 9.999 to 10.00

They’re going to need to make the screen that displays the price bigger soon 😭

@_SFTahoe @elonmusk @Sherry097344271 @mreiffy The ultimate in forced savings

@elonmusk @Sherry097344271 @mreiffy 🤣🤣 Rather be an optimist and proven wrong. . . That is the most optimistic take possible.

Google is basically saying: “We’ve cut the quantum resources needed to break Bitcoin’s encryption by 20x. We can now break it. We can prove it. We’re just not going to tell you how. We’ve slowed down research to give crypto a chance. You have until 2029 to figure out a solution. Good luck.”

@rebedom7195 @CernBasher @FutureAZA Look who was in power at the time... Maybe things would be different with competent leadership

Hey ...... 😡..... I have thought about this for a long time, what our dumb Liberal government should have done yrs ago when Biden snubbed Elon was invite Elon to Canada. We could have EV manufacturing, Battery factories, StarLink rural connectivity, Mega Packs & all the rest of it. Elon is half Canadian, he is exactly what we lack in Canada, extraordinary multilevel across multiple sectors world changing vision.

Tesla Robotaxi preparing to reach 50% of US Population? Tesla is continuing to hire for the role of AI Safety Operator in many cities across the country - these cities cover nearly 40% of the US population. This table also shows the additional cities (in green) where they would need to hire in order to reach 50% of the US population.

@marcvanderchijs @CernBasher Did you tell your agents what to accomplish?

@linuxbox @CernBasher AI agents work for me when I'm asleep. They have a task and then figure out themselves what actions to take, sometimes by setting up sub agents. No need for mind reading, they learn from experience and from other AI agents. They can even employ other agents if they have a budget.

Jensen addresses the “AI will destroy all jobs” narrative. AI is a new tool. The tools that humans use are constantly changing. These new tools don’t necessarily make human workers redundant. AI will automate more and more tasks, allowing many human workers to be more productive and focus on higher value elements. I agree with Jensen, but we also need to realize that some jobs will be automated away - which is consistent with technological progress over time (e.g. the 340,000 women who were once telephone switchboard operators). We also need to understand that it’s always far easier to predict the job losses, but far harder to predict what new jobs will be created - yet we will find away through the uncertainty.

@thejefflutz It's aged well

I was an early adopter and still remember the feeling of transition from an ice vehicle to the Tesla Model S, my first EV. Felt like a spaceship, stepping into the future.

@marcvanderchijs @CernBasher Giving direction for action i.e. what do we want done How does the ai know? Mind reading?

@CernBasher That's exactly what I do with my AI agents, they solve problems that haven't yet been solved by AI. It sounds cynical, but I truly don't see a role for humans anymore in the near future. First for white collar jobs, and once Optimus is in full production also all manual labor.

@DillonLoomis Grok does a better job

On behalf of everyone that's ever used the X search feature - whether to find other users or information - this is arguably the weakest part of X that needs to be addressed. It's an incredible historical collection of data and a platform built on connecting with others but accessing that data and/or any other user profile via search is a truly terrible experience right now

PIERRE CRUSHED IT ON JOE ROGAN: -He defended Canada against 51st state comments -He was very charming -He REFUSED TO CRITICIZE CARNEY on foreign soil -He rightfully so, defended that Castro is not Trudeau’s father -He respectfully & tactfully didn’t fall into conspiracy theory traps -He did a beautiful job explaining his role as the Opposition & how keeping the government to account is the most loyal thing one can do Joe Rogan showed a great deal of respect for him, his intelligence & they both laughed hysterically when Joe asked him “How did you lose?!” People don’t realize, that as much as Joe Rogan is painted as “far right”, he’s logical and I consider him well balanced. There’s a reason why he has the biggest podcast in the world. Pierre did an incredible job.

Everyone’s hyped about Claude… but very few people know how to actually use it to replace real work. I’ve compiled 700+ powerful prompts that turn Claude into a serious productivity machine—for writing, research, business, marketing, coding, and more. If you want them all: 1. Like this post 2. Comment “AI” I’ll DM you the full prompt library. 🚀

@stats_feed G'day, eh

🇨🇦 50% of Canada is the letter 'A'

Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one. The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”

Canadians like to praise Mark Carney for being the adult in the room - for being competent. But the question isn't "is he competent" the question is "competent at what?" While left leaning Canadians praise his resume and tone of voice - I'm looking into what he's actually building.

Jensen Huang just called out every CEO who’s been firing people “because of AI.” Jim Cramer asked him why companies are laying people off if AI is supposed to make everyone MORE productive. Jensen's answer: "For companies with imagination, you will do more with more. For companies where the leadership is just out of ideas, they have nothing else to do. They have no reason to imagine greater than they are. When they have more capability, they don't do more." Read that again. The man who built the most important tech company on Earth just told you that if your CEO is using AI to cut headcount, it means one thing: They have no imagination. They have no vision for what comes next. They got handed the most powerful tool in human history and their FIRST instinct was to fire people. This is the CEO of NVIDIA. The company whose chips power every AI system on the planet. If anyone on Earth has the right to say "AI replaces workers," it's Jensen Huang. And he said the OPPOSITE. He said every carpenter could become an architect. Every plumber could become an architect. AI elevates capability. It doesn't eliminate it. But here's where it gets really interesting... During the same interview, Jensen revealed something nobody's talking about: He said AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic are seeing their revenues increase by one to two billion dollars a WEEK. And he wishes these companies were public so the world could see what he sees. One to two billion per week. That's a $50 to $100 BILLION annualized run rate. For companies that most people think are burning cash and making nothing. The entire Wall Street narrative that "AI companies aren't profitable" might be completely wrong. Jensen sees their numbers. He sees their compute orders. He sees their growth. And he's saying the revenue is real. So if the money IS real, why are other companies firing people? Because they're not building AI products. They're not creating new revenue streams. They're not using AI to expand into new markets. They're using AI as an EXCUSE to cut costs because they ran out of ideas 3 years ago and need something to tell the board. Jensen's company added $500 billion in new orders in 5 months. He expects $1 trillion in cumulative revenue through 2027 from just two product lines. That number doesn't include the new chips, systems, or partnerships announced this week. And he's not cutting people. He's hiring. Because when you have imagination, more capability means MORE opportunity. Not less headcount. Meanwhile Salesforce cut thousands. Meta cut thousands. Amazon cut thousands. All blaming "AI efficiency." Jensen's response: You're out of imagination. He also said something that stuck with me. Cramer asked if he ever thought he'd build a $10 to $20 trillion company while waiting tables at Denny's. His answer: "I was just trying to make it through the shift." Biggest tip he ever got? Two, three dollars. Now he's building tech that increased computing demand by one million times in two years. He announced OpenClaw, which he says is as big as ChatGPT. And he's got 21 months of new business that isn't even counted in the trillion dollar figure yet. When asked how long he plans to keep working? "I'm hoping to die on the job. And I'm not hoping to die anytime soon." This is a man who believes every single thing he's building. And his message to every CEO using AI to justify layoffs is simple... You're not innovating. You're surrendering. The technology wasn't built to shrink companies. It was built to make them limitless. If your leadership can't see that, the problem isn't AI. It's THEM.
