Let’s build a future where basic food, clothing, shelter, transport, and sanitation are fully automated. Bring costs down to materials, maintenance, and energy. Raise the economic floor, uplift all, and reduce financial stress. Capitalism 2.0 is for luxury, not survival.

California is trying to ban Tesla sales for 30 days As if EV sales weren’t getting hit enough from the morons on the right, now the morons on the left are trying to ban sales of one of the only EV makers left The reason? The term “FSD” is supposedly misleading. Go try V14…
Bloomberg@business

Tesla's sales in California are set to be suspended for 30 days as a penalty for allegedly misleading consumers about its driver-assistance technology, according to the head of the state’s motor vehicles department bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Positive futurism Saying everything’s doomed makes people nod like you’ve just dropped some deep truth, but talking about how things might get better gets you labeled as naive or delusional. It’s always easier to predict doom and gloom & collapse than creation, because collapse requires nothing of you/doomer. It takes no effort, no creativity, no imagination. To speak about a better future, to imagine breakthroughs, new non existing tech, that demands actual vision, imagination and also the willingness to be ridiculed for believing things could get better when almost everyone else has already given up. It means standing apart from the crowd, especially in a time when pessimism is fashionable.

Probabilistic slop engines cannot do science, drug discovery, materials discovery, or magic. Anyone who thinks AI can autonomously do science simply doesn’t understand how knowledge is created.

I’m eager to try these out on the farm, challenge them via serious use cases. I could see humanoids increasing local food and textile production 5x or more pretty easily. These use cases matter the most because the bottom 50% spend significant portions of their income in these areas.

"It's a woman in a suit." No, it's this robot in a suit. "But it looks like a woman." Yes, that's why we call them 'humanoid robots', we design and build them, so they look as human as possible. The model like walk we see in this vid is identical to what we saw yesterday. It’s a bit ridiculous that there are still so many people skeptical that such robots are real. We’re living in late 2025, almost 2026, not 1986. We're very close to 2030. Our technology is pretty advanced.

@SawyerMerritt Waymo has been incredible at demonstrating real world adoption of driverless taxis. They are true pioneers. But, Tesla is clearly in a position to produce millions of robotaxis, once the service has been perfected. One cannot ignore the potential scale and cost differences.

Ex-Waymo CEO John Krafcik on Tesla's Robotaxis: "Please let me know when Tesla launches a robotaxi — I'm still waiting. It's (rather obviously) not a robotaxi if there's an employee inside the car." In 2019, Waymo first began with what it called an "early rider program" in Arizona, allowing a select group of people to try the company's service. Safety drivers were present in the cars, and riders were temporarily put under a nondisclosure agreement.

We've become a little cynical in the US because tech advancements over the past couple decades have felt more about novelty projects and social experimentation than real tangible progress. I think we've made many major advancements, but from the everyday person's perspective you can understand the skepticism. Has their life really improved over the last 25 years thanks to tech? Probably not. We need a robots + AI narrative focused on real world use cases that people can get behind because it will truly make their life better ... Ultra Cheap + Autonomously Managed: - Core Crops and Livestock (ex. Wheat, Rice, Chicken) - Material / Textile Crops (ex. Flax (Linen) and Cotton) - Nation-Wide Transport for People / Goods - Robot Hand Crafted Goods (Artisanal Quality, Long Lasting) Public Commitments: - Clean and Well Maintained Public Spaces (Pick Up Trash, Replace Lights, Clean : Surfaces (Benches, Playground, etc), Gutters, Bathrooms, etc) - Beautifully Landscaped Public Spaces (Flowers, Trees, Bird/Wildlife Feeders, Public Gardens, etc) - Routine Simple Labor Tasks (Assembly + Disassembly for Events, Power Washing Walls and Walkways, Low Complexity Construction / City Work (Fill Potholes, Trimming Branches around Power Lines, Forest Management, etc)) The list goes on forever if you believe we will have humanoid robots capable of replacing moderate human labor tasks in the near future.

Been talking to people in China about robotics. They aren't doing this to scare us. They are doing this to change their culture and get everyone to buy robots and help train them. They have a real population problem: an existential threat because of their one-child policy that they had for decades. People only had male babies. So, very few women for a generation. IE: no children to keep things working. So they need robots to fill the gap. Oh, and, yes, they want to dominate, just like our companies do. Do you think Tim Cook wakes up thinking "I'd like to share the Holodeck market with Meta and Google." Hell no. So, how can we win? The last time I went to Yellowstone National Park I met quite a few bus loads of Chinese there to see the park for themselves. All amongst the wealthier. Start with our cowboy stories. We have them, they don't. Build on that. Gunfights, even. Soon in the Holodeck and for richer people, to armies of robots. Yikes. We should develop "Weird Games" that we will have an advantage in. Making baseball bats. (Exclusive distribution for @sluggernation -- all the baseball teams buy only theirs). Hollywood characters. Rock and roll and other types of music. I saw a Chinese band in Shanghai try to do jazz music. It was technically perfect but it had no soul. We have soul. We have weirdness. We have guns. "Hey Grok can you clean my Glock?" "Yes sir."

@DaveShapi People are scared because the next step has no clear guidelines. It's a new paradigm that carries 100x more uncertainty than shifting from manufacturing to retail.

@TeslaBoomerMama I'd recommend adding the "America Academy" to the disappointed column. I hope he follows up on this as having an option for a free high quality online accredited university would be an amazing gift to citizens. It would also create a baseline for existing universities.

Next week will be six months since President Trump's second inauguration. Let me try to be fair in my assessment: Disappointed: - Epstein files (and this is really difficult to swallow) - Gold/Trump Greencard nowhere to be found (don't think will ever see the light of the day and I said so from the beginning) - no mention yet on any much-needed improvements of legal immigration - no durable signs of slashing federal spending, all hope is on increased growth Wait & see (and I can understand these delays, but impatience sets in): - wrong assessment of the reality of how to be able to end the Russia - Ukraine war and delay in adjusting to the new reality - mass deportations (very difficult matter, and given the inflows the past four years, WH communication should focus on what is and what is not possible) - tariff shenanigan game is lasting way too long - very limited signs of lower grocery prices, halving gas & electric bills and consumer prices so far - making IVF free - lowering drug prices - capping credit card interest rates - cutting funding to sanctuary cities Well done: - closing the border to illegal immigration - significant progress towards ending the war in Gaza - reducing significantly Iran's nuclear ambitions

@Dr_Singularity It will get continually hard to ignore the shift as AI reaches human-level interactivity, autonomous vehicles saturate the roads, and humanoids start popping up in businesses. The 2030s will be an incredibly transformational decade.

@DaveShapi I've started 8 businesses. 6 were a painful fruitless grind for years. 1 was a mediocre success that paid the bills. And the really successful one that retired me was something I put less than 40 hours into and cared little for. I truly have no idea what to take away from this.

@RealAndersonBen @wholemars BD's bot looks pretty good from a hardware perspective, but it seems like they'll get crushed by scale and price compared to a company like Tesla. This being said, the demand for humanoids could end up being so great that BD makes a fortune regardless of competition.

@wholemars Honestly even Boston Dynamics missed their chance. They could’ve done humanoid robots ten years ago and dragged their feet. Now Tesla is going to wipe the floor with them, and they will not recover.
