@daniel_mac8 We need to stop focusing on cost and speed and focus on creating AI that writes better code, even if it takes longer and costs more

Nvidia VP says the cost of AI compute far outweighs the cost of human labor. Software engineers marked safe from AI. For now...

@CJFerguson1111 @tombennett71 Restricting social media turns it into a game, where winning means gaining access. Kids love games and are really good at finding workarounds for silly rules.

@tombennett71 There is no evidence that this will help kids at all and Australia’s band is failing in real time. This is Pure, moral panic, not something helpful.

This is fantastic news and absolutely the right decision. A huge safeguarding leap forward.

@Rainmaker1973 IQ is a meaningless number. I hope her accomplishment exceeds the number

Adhara Pérez Sánchez’s story is one of remarkable talent, resilience, and determination. Born in Mexico City, Adhara was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of three. Her early school years were difficult. She faced bullying and misunderstanding from classmates and teachers, which left her feeling isolated. After changing schools several times, her parents finally found an environment that recognized and nurtured her exceptional abilities. Adhara’s intellectual gifts became evident very early. She has a reported IQ of 162, higher than the estimated IQs of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. She taught herself algebra as a young child and memorized the periodic table at an extraordinarily young age. She completed elementary school by age five, finished middle and high school rapidly, and by age 11 had already earned a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in mathematics at the Technological University of Mexico. Her ultimate dream is to become an astronaut and work with NASA, with a long-term goal of contributing to the colonization of Mars. She has collaborated with the Mexican Space Agency as a STEM ambassador, inspiring young girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Adhara’s journey demonstrates that with proper support and unwavering determination, individuals can overcome significant challenges. She has become a powerful symbol of hope for many children, particularly those on the autism spectrum, showing that extraordinary achievements are possible regardless of early obstacles.

@RepThomasMassie An argument might be made for it if the tech was perfect, 100% perfect, with zero chance of error, ever. The tech is far from perfect. Politicians are profoundly and shockingly ignorant of the limits of technology.

No one’s fought harder than me against Biden’s Automobile Kill-Switch. I’ve railed on it in Transportation Committee and Rules Committee hearings. I’ve even forced two recorded votes in the House to repeal it. Here’s just a small sample of those debates: youtu.be/tP9mVm9N-EE

@DanielJHannan The problems have always existed but were not diagnosed. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. I was the weird kid everybody hated. I never got a diagnosis. As an older adult, I read about Aspergers and realized that it explained everything about me.

The only way this can be true is if the phrase "mental health problem" is being used in a way that no previous generation would recognise.

@Rainmaker1973 With the rise of automation, it may all balance out. Endless growth is impossible

In his thought-provoking book The World Is Running Out of People, Sebastian Dettmers, CEO of StepStone Group, delivers a sobering warning about the greatest economic challenge of the 21st century. According to Dettmers, the real threat facing humanity is not overpopulation, but a severe and growing shortage of people. For the first time in modern history, the global workforce is projected to shrink rather than expand. Major economies such as China, Germany, and Japan are expected to lose millions of working-age individuals by 2030. This demographic reversal, often called “demographic winter,” stems from humanity’s own success: as societies become wealthier, better educated, and live longer, people tend to have fewer children. Dettmers argues that if left unaddressed, this decline could trigger decades of economic stagnation and recession. The next 40 years represent a critical window for action. He calls for a “revolution of minds” that includes tapping into underutilized talent pools, promoting global labor mobility, and leveraging advanced technologies from the “Intelligent Age” to sustain productivity despite a shrinking human population. Rather than viewing fewer people as an inevitable crisis, Dettmers sees it as a call to fundamentally rethink how we work, innovate, and build prosperity in a world where the human base is contracting for the first time in centuries.

@r0ck3t23 Even if AI and robotics are as successful as he predicts, land is still limited, natural resources are limited and the ecosystem remains fragile and easy to disrupt. Also, the laws of physics still apply to things like space travel.

Elon Musk just described a future where money does not exist. Not reformed. Not redistributed. Gone. Musk: “I think things will just be free in the future. If you’ve got an AI robotics economy that is anywhere close to a million times the size of the current Earth economy, literally any need you possibly want can be met.” Forget the sci-fi framing. Listen to what he is actually saying. The entire structure of human civilization runs on a single variable. You need something you cannot freely access. That gap is not a flaw in the system. It is the system. Your employer does not pay you because your work has value. Your employer pays you because you have no choice but to show up. Your government does not protect you out of principle. It maintains order because your dependency on the economy makes you governable. Scarcity is not a natural condition. It is the most successful control structure ever built. Musk: “If you can think of it, you can have it.” Now ask what happens when that structure collapses. A population that does not need a paycheck cannot be managed by one. A population that does not need credit cannot be disciplined by debt. A population that has everything has no reason to comply with anything. This is not a conversation about free goods. This is a conversation about the largest redistribution of leverage in recorded history. But there is a second collapse no one is talking about. Most people have built their entire identity around the constraint. The career they resent is the structure that tells them where to be every morning. The bills they complain about are the exact reason they never had to ask a harder question. Musk: “There actually isn’t money in the future and there’s abundance for everyone.” When the constraint disappears, so does the excuse. The crisis of the coming century will not be material. It will be millions of people standing in total freedom. Discovering they have no idea who they are without the struggle. Every barrier will be gone. And you will finally have to face the one thing scarcity has been protecting you from your entire life. Yourself.

@niccruzpatane Cost was not the deciding factor. I got mine because I believe EVs are the future and Tesla had a great reputation. Then I was extremely disappointed to discover that they didn't sell parts

How much money are you saving by driving an Tesla/EV? Was that the deciding factor for you when purchasing it?

@RandPaul Ethanol is not a good fuel

Gas prices are high because Washington limits your choices at the pump. My Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act: ✅ Strips out EPA red tape ✅ Expands access to ethanol and alternative fuels ✅ Lets the market drive prices down We need energy freedom, not government mandates.

@RandPaul There is no evidence to support that claim

We can't legislate away evil, but we can remove every obstacle to self-defense. No school, no church, no movie theater in America should be left defenseless. More good guys with guns means less crime. Period.

@mark_k The future is inherently unpredictable

AI systems can accurately predict the future. If an AI could perfectly predict your next 5 years, would you actually want to see the answer? 🤖 🔮

@MatthewBerman @garrytan @atmoio @ThePrimeagen Here's the split opinion I see. Most comments are about creating code faster and cheaper. Very few write about code getting better.

Wild how split opinions are on AI coding. I love building now more than ever. I know @garrytan feels the same way. But some like @atmoio and @ThePrimeagen are hating this moment. What gives?

@niccruzpatane Will the replacement panels be sold on the website?

The paint is infused into the Tesla Cybercab’s body panels. If scratched, the color goes through the whole panel unlike a traditional car with primer, color, then paint. To repair, simply replace the panel or fix it like you would any other car.

@SenMarkKelly Private religious schools suck. Private schools that are more like low effort party houses suck. Private schools that provide hardcore academic rigor and uncompromising excellence deserve support.

I have a bill to protect public education from vouchers that drain money from schools and hurt students. The Wall Street Journal editorial board had a few things to say about that, but here’s what they missed.

@BenSasse Private schools that focus on hardcore excellence are good. Private schools that make parents feel good about their mediocre, lazy kid by giving them high grades are worse than bad.

this is true, tragic, and woefully under-reported/under-discussed

@JustThink65 @binarybits Agreed. I worked on self-driving tech for a major manufacturer. The problem is hard, really hard. Even if you go in believing it's hard, you keep discovering more hard problems.

The list below is of auto makers whose predictions were also wrong and late. Rivian is the closest to Tesla and it’s as good as Tesla’s FSD in 2020. I know. I’ve had FSD since 2019. Moral of the story. This isn’t like producing another Honda Accord. Autonomous driving is really, really hard to get the last mile of safety.

At Tesla, rapid robotaxi scaling is always just around the corner.

@niccruzpatane So will they sell replacement panels on their website?

Both of Tesla’s Next-Generation vehicles do not require a paint shop during production. Crazy to think. Tesla is redefining the automotive manufacturing industry.

@davepl1968 String theory is like code that is theorized to run on a computer that doesn't exist

Imagine programmers had been working on a piece of code for 50 years and finally decided it would never actually compile.

@Microinteracti1 Agreed. The US is unstable and went from a somewhat sane and reasonable government to an insane, corrupt and dangerous government in one election. Even if sanity is restored, the potential remains for insanity to happen again.

He is right

@PeterDiamandis It's more than recent movies, from the old myths of Eden and Prometheus to Frankenstein, there have always been writers who believed knowledge is dangerous and that there are things we should not know.

Two things are driving social unrest right now: young people can't see a path to a job, a home, or a future. And Hollywood keeps teaching us that AI ends in killer robots and collapse. Am I missing anything?
