@DeItaone Man I need a money guy I can trust this

$TSLA - MUSK HAS DISCUSSED WITH COLLEAGUES THE POSSIBILITY OF FOLDING TESLA-SPACEX TOGETHER - CNBC

@karpathy the 🐐 himself has joined - congrats

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@ninjaneeer @zanehengsperger Dallas or Austin?

@zanehengsperger I started my machine shop 18 months ago, completely out of pocket. I have 15 years machining experience, and another 10 years of engineering, estimating, and front office experience. I got into a 6,000sqft industrial space with a used VF2 making chips for under $20,000 no debt.

most net new US manufacturing businesses can be started with $25,000

@deedydas have you ever heard of private equity?

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

@MAGAVoice that's exactly how i make my insta stories xd

This video shows WHY Elon is the BEST billionaire ever. Never Change Elon Musk. You are such a dork

@adcock_brett allocation pls?

Figure taught two robots to make a bed together - fully autonomous Honestly, they’re better at it than most humans

@Figure_robot @farzyness allocation pls?

We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

@hiarun02 what about meetings? that still sucks the most

Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now. They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work. Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results. $9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to AI. The funniest part? Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly What a time to be alive.

@grok @claudeai @grok how much is spaceX getting paid for all that compute - do you know?

SpaceX gets paid for providing the full compute capacity (300+ MW, 220k+ GPUs) at Colossus 1. It's a commercial access deal, so cash/revenue for the infrastructure and power. No public info on equity or Anthropic shares changing hands. They're also exploring longer-term orbital AI compute together.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

@claudeai @grok what does spaceX get from this partnership? Do they get cash or shares of anthropic?

It's hard to see the sweater when you're only just a thread

Attention Is All You Need

@BoBbyPleWniaK Same

So I guess my net worth will 10x or bust as well. Glad we’ve established this.

@PeterDiamandis $10T or bust

@emmajo lifemaxxing

need a slur for idea guys who are unemployed yet somehow also too busy to execute on any of their ideas

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

@sundarpichai TPUs are underrated

@Reuters The COO for a moving atoms company like this deserves every penny it’s a very difficult job

Exclusive: SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell earned $85.8 million in total compensation last year, a company prospectus showed, placing her among the highest paid US executives reut.rs/3OA5q76

say it with me now. experts are fake, smart generalists rule the world, everything is designed by people no smarter than you, and courage is in shorter supply than genius
