Fyi. Today Jan 31st 2026, I have decided to get baptized, after 62 years. Please be as happy for me, as I feel now. (@DillonLoomis you, among many others over the years, have been an inspiring gentleman).

@BartNijman Een kernreactor bouwen in 70 dagen. x.com/i/status/20347…

Sja. Hadden we maar meer kerncentrales moeten bouwen. goedkoop, betrouwbaar, veilig, schoon & autarkisch.

I think about this every time I comment on someone’s post expecting but no reply or my post gets only 5 views and no engagement. I briefly ask myself ‘am I invisible?’ Then I remember that I am a masterpiece too big for any algorithm to contain. Everything I do in the real world I do for a greater cause than can be truly shared on social media. Maybe true for you too. 🫶🏼

@BartNijman De capitein genoot elke avond van een glas goede Franse wijn?

Hij was alvast overgaverondjes aan het rennen?

@Bryce57Hicks @pbeisel I second that.

@pbeisel Very helpful explanation. Thank you. (once again). Phil is my go to source, highly skilled on the technical aspects AND understandable in his presentation.

Elon says FSD 14.3 is coming. But if you’ve been following along, it was also “two weeks away” a few months ago. That’s drawn a lot of criticism, understandably. Let’s step back and talk about what’s actually going on: engineering reality. I’ve spent years running engineering teams at Apple and Rivian, and what you’re seeing here is not unusual. Not even a little. I’m not here to defend Elon or say communication couldn’t be better. It could. But what’s happening behind the scenes is far more ordinary than people think. First, understand what kind of company Tesla is. Tesla exposes more of its internal process than most companies— you’re watching how the sausage is made, often in real time. Compare that to Apple. Products appear at a moment in time, fully formed. What you don’t see are the features that slipped, were cut, or quietly postponed to make the deadline. Most companies communicate through layers of marketing at discrete events (e.g., NVIDIA GTC). That may include a CEO keynote—but it’s still tightly controlled. Tesla, largely via Elon, doesn’t. And that creates friction. Most people are used to being in the dining room. With Tesla, you’re watching the sausage get made whether you like it or not. If that makes you uncomfortable, this model will drive you crazy no matter how it’s explained. Now, about FSD 14.3— the so-called “reasoning” release. My view: when Elon originally referenced it, it was real. It was on a roadmap with a timeline. But then reality hit. Somewhere along the way, engineering discussions likely exposed a fork: ship what’s partially there, or go deeper and "do it right". That kind of shift happens constantly. Plans change. Timelines slip. This is normal engineering behavior, not dysfunction. The difference is: you’re seeing it. At companies like Apple, those decisions are invisible. Deadlines are protected by cutting scope. At Tesla, you’re watching the scope evolve in real time. On the technical side, 14.1 and 14.2 were already producing “reasoning tokens,” as Ashok (Tesla AI VP) noted. But producing tokens isn’t the same as using them effectively. 14.3 appears to be where those tokens actually start driving behavior, more human-like decision-making in edge cases. My guess is this is where things got more complicated. The work likely started to overlap with what xAI is doing. At that point, the question becomes: do you ship an interim solution, or integrate a more capable reasoning layer? That’s not a small decision. And it likely has downstream impact— potentially even on Robotaxi timelines— because these same reasoning challenges show up there too. So the team probably made a call: go deeper, even if it costs time. And here’s the part people underestimate: great engineering teams often convince themselves the extra work is worth it… and that it won’t take that much longer. They’re usually wrong on the timeline. But often right on the outcome. At this stage, FSD isn’t about raw safety (it seems to have nailed that)— it’s about behavior. Making decisions feel natural, human, predictable in edge cases. That’s a much harder problem. So if you’re following Tesla closely, the best thing you can do is understand the process and accept the messiness that comes with it. If you want tightly controlled messaging and polished delivery, companies like Apple exist for that. Tesla is something else entirely. Fire away.

@SERobinsonJr She's not on X?

NEURALINK: Erika Ross Ellison is Neuralink's new Head of Clinical. She was hired this past February. Per Erika, "I spent my first few weeks at Neuralink on a whirlwind tour with our world-class neurosurgery and research teams leading the US PRIME study, along with the study participants who make this work possible. Seeing the work up close has been energizing as we prepare for the next phase together. Grateful to join such a brilliant, mission-obsessed team pushing Neuralink technologies forward for the SCI and ALS communities. Excited to be here at such an important moment. Let’s go!" cont...

Ik heb meteen betaald want als ik niet snel betaal, zou het bedrag verhoogd worden naar 303 euro. Staat de hoogte van het bedrag in verhouding tot mijn ’vergrijp’? Nou nee. Nu hoeven jullie je geen zorgen over mijn financiën te maken, maar ik maak me wel zorgen over de andere bestuurders die voor en achter mij reden, die ook zulke hoge boetes ontvangen. Veel problematische schulden beginnen namelijk met een boete van het CJIB die niet meteen betaald kan worden en waarvan het bedrag in no-time verhoogd wordt tot een bedrag dat helemaal niet meer te betalen is. De boetes in ons land zijn zó hoog, dat ze met een beetje pech het cruciale duwtje zijn waardoor kwetsbare gezinnen in de schulden belanden. ’Slappe taakstraf voor vandalen’ Het is toch ook niet meer te verdedigen dat hardwerkende mensen bij het minste of geringste een boete krijgen waarvoor ze krom moeten liggen, terwijl aan de andere kant de mensen die de samenleving écht ontwrichten, zoals XR-demonstranten of vandalen die de universiteiten kort en klein slaan, er met een waarschuwing of een slappe taakstraf vanaf komen?

She’s a woman with a mission! She will not be harassed or made to feel scared 🤣🤣

"Somebody I know went to work for SpaceX and said, 'It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence.' The best engineers in the world want to work for Elon Musk because he's the one CEO who's able to work with them as a peer."

@davenoderer @pbeisel Oh no you don't! x.com/NicolasReid/st…

With millions or billions of robots, where does all the data go? How is it retained? What to purge... Seems like a big problem. Rules on context length or raw data retention especially if something goes wrong. Sharing rules? I can see a huge skills market that Tesla alone is not to able to supply... App store for bots.

Love this. Everyone should send this to their kids.

@thattallguy You're hanging out with the wrong kind of general public.

I think folks on this app are greatly underestimating how much the general public hates AI. Like, haaaaaaates it.

@Tesla @DigitalDaisyX Heeelp! A runaway car!!

@DigitalDaisyX That Tesla is probably just as confused why everyone is staring at it

Can’t find your car? No problem, just summon your Tesla and let it come to you. Watch people’s jaws drop as your car glides across the lot on FSD like it has a mind of its own. Heads turn, phones come out, kids point… some think it’s magic ✨ And the best part? You get to stroll up like a boss while your car practically rolls out the red carpet for you. 🎥: ydrivejuniper

I know some people who need to hear this…
