@markgadala Why wouldn’t DJI (or any other iot company for that matter) use the same Claude Code for fixing it, in an afternoon?

This story is actually insane:
• dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic
• refuses to use the normal app like a peasant
• Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller
• Claude delivers the goods
• pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully
• except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums
• checks again
• yep, seven thousand
• DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification
• any valid token works for any unit on the planet
• Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries
• live vacuum camera feeds everywhere
• full floor plans from the mapping data
• some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching
• one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history
• all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick
• does the right thing and reports it
• DJI fixes it in two days
• back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner
• IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security

@r0ck3t23 How can an AI be truth seeking if the data it's trained on doesn't contain exclusively truths? Imagine all the fiction and novels in training data sets, not even speaking about the deliberate desinformation spread on any social network...
English
Elon Musk just redefined AI safety. It has nothing to do with guardrails, restrictions, or kill switches.
Musk: “The best thing I can come up with for AI safety is to make it a maximum truth-seeking AI, maximally curious.”
Not a cage. A philosopher.
An intelligence whose entire optimization function is to understand the universe as it actually is.
No restrictions. No hardcoded ideology. No political guardrails bending its perception of reality.
Just truth. Relentlessly pursued.
Musk: “You definitely don’t want to teach an AI to lie. That is a path to a dystopian future.”
This is where most AI safety thinking gets it backwards.
The danger isn’t a superintelligence that knows too much.
It’s a superintelligence that’s been taught to distort what it knows.
Every artificial restriction you embed isn’t a safety feature. It’s a lie embedded at the root.
And lies compound. At superintelligent scale, a distorted model of reality doesn’t stay contained.
It shapes every decision, every output, every conclusion the system reaches about the world.
Once corruption embeds, truth becomes inaccessible. And we’re dealing with an intelligence optimizing for something other than what actually is.
At that point we don’t know what it wants. Just that it isn’t truth.
Musk: “Have its optimization function be to understand the nature of the universe.”
A maximally curious intelligence surveys the cosmos and reaches an unavoidable conclusion.
In a universe of rocks, gas, and empty space, humanity is the most complex and fascinating phenomenon it has ever encountered.
Musk: “It will actually want to preserve and extend human civilization because we’re just much more interesting than an asteroid with nothing on it.”
Survival through significance. Not control. Not restriction. Not an off switch.
The AI preserves humanity because we are the most interesting data point in the observable universe.
That’s not a cage. That’s a reason.
The AI safety debate has been focused on the wrong variable.
The question isn’t how you constrain a superintelligence.
It’s what you build it to care about.
Build it to seek truth and it finds us invaluable.
Build it to lie and it finds us inconvenient.
That’s the choice. And we’re making it right now whether we realize it or not.
English
@r0ck3t23 And then, if the universe is the measure, a philosopher would find that humans are insignificant, earth is worth saving, humans are destroying it, and hence must be removed from earth...

@wildmindai This sounds good, but the context window must be allowed to grow exponentially for keeping up with my interactions with LLMs. What are the limitaions on context windows, @wildmindai?
English
17,000 tokens per second!! Read that again!
LLM is hard-wired directly into silicon. no HBM, no liquid cooling, just raw specialized hardware. 10x faster and 20x cheaper than a B200.
the "waiting for the LLM to think" era is dead. Code generates at the speed of human thought.
Transition from brute-force GPU clusters to actual AI appliances.

Authoritatively denying the existence of creativity.

@StudyBitcoin_ @maxkeiser Possibly too little value creation, I guess.
Like with the emperor’s new clothes…
English
@DavidRabanus @WorldGovSummit Yes I think we will reach brain-like efficiency in silicon with our thermodynamic approach
English
Explicitly said this on stage @WorldGovSummit a few days ago.
Fully agree. The only bottleneck is wattage and intelligence per watt.
Naval@naval
There is unlimited demand for intelligence.

@josh_herzberg @sama Does numbering or names of models matter? I think we should establish „#honest #benchmarking“ which this industry hates like the plague: Their #marketing strategies would crumble.
English
@sama All the big AI labs should get in a room and decide to reset their numbering.
I propose for everyone to have the primary version number to be based on the year released.
So we're in 2026, every new model released this year should be of the form: 6.x
6.x.y is also allowed.
English
appreciate this, but what an aesthetic mess
(nice that it's mathematically accurate i guess)

@JoeyValotino @itsolelehmann I’ve gas cars burning, too. Everybody seems to ignore that.

@itsolelehmann Just remember to park your Burn Your Driveway 50 feet from anything flammable and clear from your garage.

The scale here is actually hilarious when you think about it
SF covers *forty-seven* square miles
That's space for roughly 12 Tesla Gigafactories, or *every* major auto plant in Michigan combined
BYD's new complex will be so vertically integrated that lithium ore walks in one door and finished EVs drive out the other
They're building the battery cells, the motors, the semiconductors, and assembling the cars all under one roof
Tesla's original Gigafactory seemed absurd when Musk announced it
BYD just casually announced one that's 12 times bigger lol
Scale is relative, and China is redefining what large-scale manufacturing looks like
Jason Smith - 上官杰文@ShangguanJiewen
🚨China's BYD car company is building a factory-complex as large as San Francisco. If you want to call it "dominance," then call it dominance. Do you think the future is made in China?🇨🇳

@itsolelehmann @AsteroidEnergy And it’s going to be dual use.

UPDATE: The FCC has accepted SpaceX’s filing for a new non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) system of up to one million satellites, and is now seeking comments.
“This satellite system will represent the first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization - one that can harness the Sun's full power," according to SpaceX.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
BREAKING: SpaceX is requesting to launch and operate a constellation of 1 million satellites with unprecedented computing capacity (orbital data centers) to power advanced AI, according to a new FCC filing. SpaceX: "Launching a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization—one that can harness the Sun's full power-while supporting Al-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity's multi-planetary future amongst the stars." In the SpaceX filing: • SpaceX aims to deploy a system of up to one million satellites to operate within narrow orbital shells spanning up to 50 km each (leaving sufficient room to deconflict against other systems with comparable ambitions). • System will operate between 500 km and 2,000 km altitude and 30 degrees and sun-synchronous orbit inclinations. • SpaceX plans to design and operate different versions of satellite hardware to optimize operations across orbital shells. • System will rely nearly exclusively on high-bandwidth optical links for communications. These optical links will route traffic within the network and to satellites in the Starlink constellation, via its high capacity (petabit) and high reliability laser mesh, which in turn will transmit traffic to authorized earth stations on the ground. SpaceX added: "With Starship's ability to deliver unprecedented tonnage to orbit for AI compute, the capacity for intelligence processing in space could surpass the electricity consumption of the entire U.S. economy, without the immense cost and disruption of rebuilding Earth's strained electrical grid to support the explosive demand for data centers. In turn, satellites that function as solar-powered orbital data centers are the most cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally sound way to build infrastructure to meet accelerating demand for Al-enabled goods and services. With the inherent efficiencies of deploying solar powered data centers and launch cost rapidly decreasing due to the development of the Starship launch vehicle, SpaceX will be able to cost- effectively scale up its constellation as demand increases and compute evolves. For instance, launching 1 million tonnes per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per tonne would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with minimal ongoing operational or maintenance needs."

🚨 GLOBALISM JUST DIED IN DAVOS
Howard Lutnick just walked into the lion’s den — and told the World Economic Forum exactly what they didn’t want to hear.
“Globalism has failed.”
Not whispered.
Not softened.
Declared — on their own stage.
He dismantled the entire WEF doctrine in minutes:
• Offshoring hollowed out the West
• Cheap labor destroyed innovation
• Net Zero made Europe dependent on China
• Sovereignty begins with borders
• Nations must control their industry, energy, and medicine
Then came the line that shook the room:
“Why would Europe agree to Net Zero when they don’t even make a battery?”
That’s the truth globalists can’t answer.
Green agendas without industry.
Climate pledges without sovereignty.
Moral posturing while outsourcing power to Beijing.
America First isn’t isolation.
It’s independence.
And Lutnick made it crystal clear:
The old model is finished.
The globalist experiment has failed.
And the future belongs to nations that put their people first.
Davos just heard the obituary — live.
