@scaling01 Predictions are fine but skin deep. Please explain the rationale.

Cold take on what comes next: - OpenAI will flourish - Anthropic will continue to be profitable - Google will not catch up to Anthropic or OpenAI - no chinese company will catch up to Anthropic or OpenAI - the highest tier of intelligence will become a luxury product that only companies and multi-millionaires/billionaires can afford - most of the companies that invested massively in them will have massive returns - SpaceX’s AI will be fine and on par with Google by end of year - Nvidia will become the first 10T company

@shikhr_ Visual Studio Code: Hold my bear. Version 1.100.

After Opus 4.9 Anthropic has no choice but to release Opus 5

@borderlinehoon Norris is 26, Russell is 27, Verstappen is 28. Yet only former two are "young".

@SciGuySpace Are they?

Blue Origin's return to flight so soon after an upper stage anomaly is seriously impressive. It looks like they're making good on efforts to improve New Glenn cadence. arstechnica.com/space/2026/05/…

@0xdoug Ask if you should bring the car with you.

Oh no

@messedupcars It's the f91w of trucks. Look it up.

@ARTCvan Absolutely. It's always been a mystery to me why the Mecachrome engines varies so much to the point of being a gamble. I'd expect for a spec series to have consistency (see IndyCar), and yet. They need a serious manufactuer producing identifcal engines.

i hate these data accounts because F2 is literally Not Level at all like all these teams are wildly different YoY... we've had careers destroyed over F2; it has never been a spec series so long as mechachrome exists if you ask me

@Coinvo Wasn't it a Tylenol?

@BerndGummauer The problem is not the design department. It's the layered combination of committees, marketing, etc.

Wieso kann jede KI das besser als eine komplette Designabteilung?

@Architect9991 @AndyatAuto Exactly. The original post confuses the Luce and the idea behind it with they of a concept car.

@feranick @AndyatAuto It isn’t a concept car.

Truly innovative cars are generational; cars like mini change the way we think and they count on revolutions in architecture and technology to enable them. When I was at Nissan and responsible for the LEAF, we consciously developed a vehicle which utilised the assets and advantages of an EV, but fitted within a relatively conventional design to acclimatise the consumer to a generational change. Nevertheless, I always felt and still feel that car companies needed to be braver and explore the addition design degrees of freedom that an EV platform avails - that thinking, love it or hate it, led to the Nissan BladeGlider I’m many times on record, calling for car companies to be braver. And so I applaud the new @Ferrari Luce EV direction for challenging the norm and yes it is… going to take some getting used to. One can say the same about the Jaguar Type 00 and the Bentley EXP 15; the Mercedes-AMG GT 4dr and the Cybertruck. A car’s style is a personal choice; but the more car companies that experiment, the more our image of what a car should look like will evolve. In that sense, I have to congratulate Ferrari for their foresight and bravery and hope that fortune favours the bold.

@The__RA2511 How much mileage and results did Antonelli have before joining Mercedes?

Is it only me that feels that maybe Cadillac are catapulting Herta too fast for that F1 seat? He hasn’t even done an FP1 in the current reg of cars and has barely any F1 mileage…. No doubt he’s a good driver, but still? 🤔

@paddockfiles 1.3 seconds difference is in the same car Is a lot.

Blaming Bottas when his teammate is literally in the trenches with him is wild. Maybe consider building a competitive car first.

@stekkerauto As an Italian, I am very, VERY sour. I miss Pininfarina.

@stekkerauto Besides, wasn't the iPhone the master child of Steve Jobs direction and vision? Ive Is Just the guy that brought it to fruition, and he has applied that for everything he touched. Uninspiring and unoriginal. (And very tired).

Jony Ive is a a one-product wonder. Built a reputation at Apple, then spent years expertly milking it dry.

@stekkerauto Unfortunately, that is modern architectural design. A total drive to create a personal design paradigms, create an aura around it, and apply it everywhere. With zero understanding of the product. It's a world where forced design prevails over function.

genuinely think this is one of the most beautiful documents of our time

@cleoabram When you have to explain a Ferrari, you missed the plot. You feel a Ferrari, you don't explain it. And this feels like a Nissan.

The Ferrari Luce is quickly becoming the most controversial Ferrari ever. Why? "The problem is that we are living in an era where the nostalgic approach is very high. Everybody's looking at the past, not the future..." - Ferrari Chief Designer Flavio Manzoni "It's not that we're taking away something, but we're adding a new choice, which in some dimensions is unambiguously better. And in other dimensions you will understand them in terms of what is lacking. Perhaps it was reckless of us to do that, knowing that we will in some people's eyes be destined for failure. But I think we also love these absurd challenges..." - Jony Ive Full answer here on HUGE* Conversations:
