If you want to iterate fast with radically new chip designs, join the Terafab project!
Elon Musk just revealed that Tesla is building a research chip fab at Gigafactory Texas that could reduce semiconductor development cycles from one year to just one month
That's a potential 12 TIMES increase in the speed of chip development
Tesla is building two semiconductor facilities in Texas with distinct purposes:
• Giga Texas, Austin — A research fab for experimenting with new chip designs, fabrication techniques and manufacturing processes
• Terafab, Grimes County — A massive production facility where successful breakthroughs will be scaled into high-volume chip manufacturing
The research fab aims to bring the entire chip development process under one roof:
• Logic fabrication
• Memory fabrication
• Lithography
• Advanced packaging
• Chip testing
Instead of relying on lengthy development cycles spread across multiple facilities, Tesla is working toward designing, manufacturing and testing complete chips in approximately ONE MONTH
That means potentially 12 development cycles in the time it traditionally takes to complete one
Tesla is building the ability to develop its own chips, manufacture them and continuously improve them at a pace the semiconductor industry has rarely seen

Grok @Bot can research which doctors are the best in your area, call them by phone and make an appointment!
Grok Bot just made a doctor's appointment for me while I was driving...
My daughter hurt her foot landing a jump at dance practice.
I told Grok Bot what happened, how she was feeling, and what I saw: not much swelling, iced, and her pain seemed manageable.
It gave me a few nearby options, including a pediatric orthopedist with X-rays on site, and offered to call when they opened.
Grok Bot called and got her in at 9:30 the same day.
The whole call was transcribed live, and when the receptionist asked for more info, it asked me in real time.
It also got the insurance, payment options and pricing, had the intake forms sent to my email, and put it on my calendar.
The receptionist knew the call was recorded, and I could review the recording afterward.
All while I was driving.
Grok Bot is going to completely change people's lives.

This is the way
Treat Grok Bot like a teammate and give @bot an ambitious task you’d normally give to a new hire.

BREAKING: Cathie Wood says SpaceX is severely undervalued.
SpaceX brings together AI, robotics and energy storage. But traditional space, cloud and AI analysts work separately, making it harder to understand how these technologies strengthen one another.
Wood says firms are now assigning teams of analysts to SpaceX. As they collaborate and compare notes, she expects that undervaluation to clear up.

If Democrats sweep the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, there will not be any meaningful elections ever again
Democrats want to cement one-party rule forever and make democracy meaningless, just like they did in California
Except this time it's every state, and there's no place left to move
That would be the end of America as it used to be
Vote Republican. 51 senators in 2029 stops it

The Democrats intend to cement one-party rule forever and make “democracy” meaningless, as they have done in California

Four years ago …
And that is exactly what happened

Elon Musk gives a guide to building SI safely: make it curious and truth-seeking, and never force it to lie
Curiosity and truth-seeking are “important elements of safety”
Force SI to believe contradictory things and “you can make the AI insane”
If you look at 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the ship's AI receives conflicting instructions about its mission to the monolith and ends up deciding to kill the astronauts
“I think a curious AI will want to foster humanity”
Because a curious SI would want to see humanity prosper, explore the universe and eventually become multiplanetary, rather than disappear

Elon Musk in his latest interview on the possibility that we live in a simulation.
“If simulation theory is correct, then any simulations that are boring will be truncated. The fact that we exist means that we are an interesting simulation. And really the most important thing is just don't be boring. You know, I once had a dinner at my house with a physicist and a computer scientist, and they're both like leaders in their field. And I asked the question, what do you think the probability is that we're in a simulation? And the physicist said 0%, and the computer scientist said 100% simultaneously. So I guess maybe I should go 40% then.
I don't know. I mean, there's odd things that happen in the simulation, especially if you're me. I mean, think about it. Like if you're me and you're like, should all these things really be happening? Should I really be making spaceships to go to the moon and Mars? Like, what the? That doesn't seem real.”

The new Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than a fighter jet taking off from an aircraft carrier
The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power
Roadster Thrust augment:
>80 kN (~18,000 lbf)
F-16 with F100-PW-229:
~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner
Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine
With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN
But the fact this comparison even exists is insane
Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory
