Following discussions between FIA, F1 and the Miami promoter, the decision has been taken to move the start of Sunday's Miami Grand Prix to 13:00 local time in Miami due to the weather forecast that is expected to bring heavier rainstorms later in the afternoon, close to the original planned race start time #F1 #MiamiGP

I haven’t followed @profgalloway but I share similar views on this @sama vs #ElonMusk battle on @OpenAI. The Musk worshippers, who don’t seem to care about facts & laws won’t like it. Great interview @smerconish. I’ve been saying it for years, that one man controls all the right tech to control the world, especially if you have #neuralink hardwired to your brain and Musk controls the Ai. #AiGod Also Prof Galloway reveals many interesting facts on the case to consider. Google Gemini summary: Scott Galloway’s View of Elon Musk Galloway dismisses Musk's legal case completely and attacks his character, painting him as a hypocritical and dangerous figure whose quest to control AI is rooted in ego rather than safety: • The "Messiah Complex" and Regret: Galloway characterizes Musk's lawsuit as "grievance in a messiah complex cosplaying a legal argument" [00:03:56]. He compares Musk's legal actions to someone regretting selling a house right before its value skyrocketed, pointing out that courts deal in legal evidence, not a billionaire's regret over missing out on an $800 billion valuation [00:04:31]. • Cynicism and Hypocrisy: Galloway argues that Musk is trying to drape himself in a "purity test" to prove he is the only one fit to manage AI. He notes the deep irony that Musk complains about the dangers of for-profit AI, yet launched his own for-profit AI company (xAI) that many experts argue has the fewest safety guardrails [00:06:47]. • Too Much Power: Warning that "absolute power absolutely corrupts," Galloway emphasizes that Musk is arguably the most powerful person in the world right now, holding immense control over space launches, satellite communications, and the EV market [00:07:06]. He argues that allowing one man to monopolize so much influence and then hand him the keys to AI is a terrible idea [00:07:35]. • Dangerous Personal Flaws: To underscore why Musk is a dangerous candidate to control the future of the internet, Galloway lists several personal criticisms. He claims Musk supposedly struggles with an addiction to ketamine, sleeps next to a loaded gun, is embroiled in a custody battle, and has a history of cutting funding for HIV-positive mothers in Africa [00:07:42]. He sarcastically asks, "what could go wrong?" [00:08:01]. • CEOs Cannot Be Trusted: Stepping back from just criticizing Musk, Galloway argues that relying on the "better angels" of tech CEOs is a fundamentally flawed strategy. He claims that all tech leaders inevitably turn from "Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader" because the system only rewards profit and wealth [00:09:18]. Instead of debating whether Musk or Altman is "less bad," Galloway insists the government must elect competent people with domain expertise to aggressively regulate AI [00:09:30]. #cnbc @cnbc @markets $TSLA #Tesla #SpaceX youtu.be/TuqQxMcRP4M

“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he used to make fun of "idea guys" who claimed to have the best startup idea and just needed a coder to do it. Not anymore.” Well, well. Looks like the “idea guy” may have been early after all. 😉 For 20+ years, I’ve believed that ideas, vision, and strategy are not worthless. They are not “just ideas.” They are the seed layer of every major company, every movement, every platform, every category shift. Execution matters. Of course it does. But execution without vision is just labour. Back then, I even had a website called IdeaTradr because I saw the value in trading, developing, and protecting ideas before the market understood how powerful they could be. The problem has always been this: Ideas are difficult to copyright.
They are often not patentable.
And corporate culture, investors, and operators have historically treated them as cheap unless they came from someone already famous, already funded, or already inside the system. But ideas are still intellectual property in the broader sense. • They come from pattern recognition.
• From lived experience.
• From seeing the future before others see the opportunity.
• From connecting markets, technology, timing, people, and strategy before there is a product to point at. Now AI is changing the balance. The technical barrier is dropping.
Generative AI coding tools are making it possible for visionary founders, strategists, and builders to move from concept to prototype faster than ever before. That does not mean execution is easy. It means the person with the right idea, the right vision, and the right judgment now has far more leverage. So yes, it is finally becoming a great time to be the “idea guy.” Unfortunately, #SamAltman may not know this particular idea guy yet. Also known as #VEOJoby. 😉 Thank you @sama and @BusinessInsider for saying out loud what some of us have known for a long time. —- • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said thanks to AI, it's finally a great time to be that guy. • More specifically, "the idea guy" who was once laughed out of Silicon Valley. • Thanks to generative AI coding tools, technical expertise isn't the barrier it once was, making it easier to bring ideas to life.” Thank you @sama and @BusinessInsider. businessinsider.com/sam-altman-ide… @OpenAI @_cweedbrook #cnbc @cnbc @sequoia #VC #VentureCapital

How about a “idea” that solves a current and future multi-T$ problem that Ai is creating but can also help solve. Yes, talking in code lol but #ChatGPT #Codex, @OpenAi & me, can do it. Thank you for acknowledging the “idea guy”. But one step further, Visionary vision, ideas and strategies (VIS) is a born talent, that needs to be developed (see my VEO role for corporations). Side note. What a VEO sees, that the market, VC or analysts don’t. Elon loves talking “execution” like no one else in business history has done it and he is great at it but that’s not the entire story. What he’s really great at is taking others existing ideas (not his own) and making them work (the execution). He’s also great at selling a vision, without meeting timelines. He’s also great at seeing that the world has a finite amount of investment capital. How do you access more than others? Sell a world or humanity changing vision, whether achievable or not. I can tell you why Mars makes zero sense but it does to garner trillions in investment. Wanna beat Musk, if it’s possible - unless US govt & DARPA are secretly backing him - think VEO. #veojoby @cnbc #cnbc @markets x.com/agent_joby/sta…

VEO Insight: GoPro — The AI-Powered Aerospace & Defense Product Pivot? @GoPro is pivoting to become an AI-powered Consumer, Commercial AND Defense company? $GPRO This week they made it official. Hired @OliverWyman — one of the world’s top defense consulting firms. Announced their pivot into defense and aerospace. Stock surged. And the market still doesn’t get it. DJI controls 70% of the global drone market. The FCC just banned them. That’s a $1.5 billion vacuum — by DJI’s own admission. Guess who’s positioned to fill it across every segment? GoPro. Market cap: approximately $270 million (at time of writing). Here’s why this is bigger than one market: 🔹 GoPro’s new GP3 chip is a 5nm AI processor with real-time target detection. It just survived deep space on Artemis II. That’s not a camera chip — it’s a military-grade AI sensor that also powers consumer and commercial applications. 🔹 Shield AI raised $2B at a $12.7B valuation building autonomous flight software. They build the pilot. Every pilot needs eyes. GoPro has spent 22 years building the best miniaturized eyes on the planet. 🔹 The Pentagon’s autonomous warfare budget jumped from $225M to $54.6B for FY27. NATO is shifting doctrine to drones and AI. EU committed €860B to defense with drones as Priority #1. Three markets, one AI-powered platform: Consumer drones → the trusted Western DJI replacement Commercial drones → NDAA-compliant for enterprise Defense drones → ISR, supply, counter-drone, FPV attack, drone-on-drone interceptors Each layer compounds the next. Every product powered by the same AI sensor stack. The kicker: Red Cat trades at ~$1.3B with minimal revenue on pure drone narrative. GoPro has $652M in revenue, a custom AI chip, space flight heritage, Oliver Wyman mapping the strategy, and now a confirmed defense pivot. It trades at less than a quarter of Red Cat. AI-powered drone companies trade at 10–25x revenue. Even modest defense revenue of $500M at 10x = $5 billion valuation. That’s before counting consumer and commercial upside. What could GoPro look like with an AI-powered aerospace and defense focus in a few years? — This post is a human-AI effort. Joby’s vision. Claude AI’s analysis. Info may not reflect accuracy and also changes. Not investment advice. #GoPro #AI #Drones #Defense #DJI #NATO

Well look who was right for the last 20+ years lol I even had a website called IdeaTradr, that long ago, but ideas aren’t something to copyright or patentable. They are however a person’s “IP”, like any other IP but try to get corporate world, VCs to understand that. But when a famous person says it, then it’s heard. Unfortunately @sama doesn’t know this “idea guy”. #veojoby @OpenAI #cnbc @cnbc @sequoia #VC #VentureCapital
