I worry sometimes about how I will get meaning when I'm not producing something. I think it's just a state that we have put our minds in, similar to addiction and once we get no reward for the work, which is our measuring stick for validation, perhaps we can just learn to enjoy our families and contemplating existence. We'll see

@PalmerLuckey Humans will finally stop focusing on doing and shift their focus toward being. Machines will take care of making most of the stuff. I hope for the good.

Everyone who thinks AI slop will ruin code efficiency/performance is going to be so surprised when everything is absurdly well-optimized John Carmack style machine code.

@K9atLarge @PalmerLuckey Like driving and pretty much anything that isn't a leisure activity

Saw a post recently that I can't find now, guy said that someday soon there will be an inflection point after which humans won't even be allowed to code. Really succinct. Companies will see very clearly that man made code is inferior in every way and have no choice but to eliminate it.

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense. It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

@Cruchanger @elonmusk @ThomasAlxDmy The present on earth compared to the past is pretty damn amazing. That change will continue, I believe

@Mike45907303 @elonmusk @ThomasAlxDmy Present on earth is not amazing, so why future would be?

Too early to tell right now but I wonder if History will look back at this $7.5-40B Anthropic/SpaceXai deal as the biggest unforced error of the AI era. Did the management team thought XAI was too far from the frontier to be a real threat ? Otherwise why give so much money to a direct competitor? Grok 4.5 is impressive and lands exactly where I thought it would few months ago: close to top intelligence at a fraction of the cost. Actually SOTA in quite few areas. There is a scenario in which users move to SpaceX for most token exchange and Claude is only used for the top tasks. Meaning Anthropic massive growth would be transferred to SpaceXAI. This would seriously complicate their IPO & ability to produce SOTA after that (need compute $$$). During that time SpaceXAI is getting their datacenters reimbursed, premium data and gets to build the space AI infrastructure with the money.

@Cruchanger @elonmusk @ThomasAlxDmy The mistake you're making is assuming he meant the SpaceX stock. I'm pretty sure he means the value is the real world that SpaceX will bring to humanity. Nothing to do with money or stock. Everything to do with bringing us an amazing future on and off earth. That's my take.

@elonmusk @ThomasAlxDmy And who will push the stock value to that "more than the rest of Earth"? The rest of Earth which will be worth less?

@EtanBoss Maybe it's just because Americans don't give a shit about soccer?

Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play. “Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.” “If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.” “Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.” “There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.” “My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.” “She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.” “That’s not a good system to create good players.”

@SawyerMerritt I'll Venmo you $50 if you X me $1

Just got my metal 𝕏 Money card. Very clean design

@stevenmarkryan @JDVance I signed up my daughter today! The moment she turns 18 I'll help her convert it to a ROTH and, as long as communism doesn't take over, she'll have a major leg up. I love it

@JDVance Such a great initiative.

In the Trump Administration, we believe every American child should have a stake in their country's future. One way we’re making that happen is through Trump Accounts, which give $1,000 to every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028. Trump Accounts make it easy for parents to set their children up for success — with a simple app and a policy designed to benefit hardworking American families. Thank you, President Trump and our great Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent!

@ShakeDown1979X @RapidResponse47 @PressSec @VP I believe you are one of the small but loud voices he was referring to

@RapidResponse47 @PressSec @VP While this administration and the overwhelming support of Corporate Socialism grinds the millions of “have nots” under its heel. There is literally nothing to be proud of the current state of America

.@VP: "You will hear a couple small but loud voices today speak obsessively not of our national greatness, but of our national imperfections... They will tell you that America is just another country where the weak struggle against the strong, and if they acknowledge that there is anything to be proud of in our history, they’ll say it’s the fact that sometimes the powerless have won a zero-sum battle. They’re wrong..." "What I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two dimensional view of your fellow citizens, and reject the two dimensional view of your country. Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness." 🇺🇸

@patrickc I like based Claude

I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.

@thejefflutz @SawyerMerritt @k3vin11 I like it. The range is lame for the battery size, but I like the concept. With the no frills approach I bet they could get it down to $20k if they can behave like Tesla and vertically integrate and scale.

@LimitingThe @stevenmarkryan He really has been consistent, posting the truth through it all. Map respect to @stevenmarkryan

@stevenmarkryan True. Thanks for being one of the people that had a spine when it mattered most.

@LimitingThe It never did work on people with a spine. What’s happening now is people are growing spines via osmosis. This is good. The world is better with more spine-having-humans.

@CracraftFan Lose both. Professional sports are a waste of time.

Americans, would you rather? Your NFL team wins the Super Bowl Or USA wins the World Cup

@rebeccatrinidad @VaibhavSisinty More compute for humanity. Less energy required on earth for data centers therefore less fossil fuels burned. The heat is not pointed at earth but rather into deep space (where it was headed anyways)

@VaibhavSisinty And what would the consequences be for launching a bunch of satellites in orbit surrounding our planet while radiating heat?

Okay this is genuinely insane. SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit. It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain. AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall. They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them. So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth. In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there. And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links." One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here. AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them. And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space. The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally. @SpaceX

@ThoNg676733 Brings me back to watching mannequin as a kid in the 80s

This is probably as close to the original as I've heard. Phenomenal!😍🔥

@SawyerMerritt That's sad

NEWS: Amazon in talks to buy $9 billion satellite group Globalstar to try and better compete with Starlink. One complicating factor is that Apple owns 20% of ownership Globalstar. ft.com/content/abace0…

@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt Now take their (rightfully your) money!

@SawyerMerritt Not surprising

NEWS: Demand for OpenAI shares has dropped significantly in the secondary market, in some cases becoming almost impossible to unload. “We literally couldn’t find anyone in our pool of hundreds of institutional investors to take these shares,” said Smythe, whose firm has handled $2.5 billion of transactions. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@SawyerMerritt I saw an OpenAI offering on the Templum platform. I avoided it like the plague.

@SebastianFrazer @khiazmos I'm a normie. What's the point of me?

i had this insane realization when i was a kid though, the normie lives in la la land its all smoke and mirrors. The normie knows he isn't gonna be good at anything, because he doesn't have the grit to go beyond surface level stuff, thus he has to develop a coping mechanism to make himself feel better aka surround himself with all the distractions and lies the world has to offer.

That Clavicular guy clearly had one of the most dangerous realizations an autistic person can possibly have, which is that non autists genuinely love to be deceived

@WildMediaOnly God I love Mike Tyson. I knew he was something special when I was tiny in the 80s.

Mike Tyson totally forgot he was talking to a kid when he said that 😭
