Yesterday, after non-stop training since Induction Day, the Class of 2030 received a moment to call home.📞 The first phone call of Plebe summer is a chance to hear familiar voices and get a boost of motivation to keep charging through the summer.

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

Elon explaining how Optimus will be able to soon outperform the best human surgeons Technologically inevitable Interesting to think about the pathway for this to get approval My thinking is that it’ll follow the autonomous driving playbook 1. Supervised phase: AI + doctors in the loop for a while and on a large number of tasks to gather data 2: supervised full autonomy on lower risk medical tasks 3: publish safety data (results will be far safer than humans) in order to gain broader public support and convince regulators 4: certain regulatory bodies will give far greater autonomy permissions - similar to SF and Austin with Waymo and robotaxi The outcome will be really good healthcare for everyone at a remarkably low cost.

New brand idea: Disposable Drones™

Morgan Stanley: Bearings The Big Picture: Bearings as a Core Robotics Play > Architecture-Agnostic Growth: Bearings offer a diversified way to invest in the robotics sector because they are required regardless of a robot's ultimate design or form factor. > Massive Market Expansion: Morgan Stanley forecasts a massive ~300x growth in the robot bearings market through the year 2050. > Low Risk of Obsolescence: Bearings face very low substitution, in-sourcing, or obsolescence risks—you simply cannot design moving machines around them. > OpenAI Endorsement: In a recent Request for Proposal (RFP) for U.S.-based hardware manufacturing capacity, OpenAI listed precision bearings as 1 of 6 critical components in its robotics category. Content Scales with Robot Complexity > Bearings 101: Every single motor in a robot requires at least one or more bearings to reduce friction and support rotating parts. > Degrees of Freedom (DoF): As robots get more complex, the number of bearings multiplies. Small quadcopter drone: Requires 8–12 bearings. Humanoid robot: Requires 70 or more bearings. > Pricing Variability: Depending on the specific use-case, individual bearings can range from under $1 to as much as $100 Global Bearings Market Dynamics > Consolidated Supply: The top 6 global manufacturers control over 50% of the global roller market, with Chinese manufacturers making up about 25%. > Current Demand Split: Roughly 40% of the overall market goes to industrial equipment OEMs, 30% to automotive, and 30 to distribution channels
