This is an incredible moment in this history of mathematics, computer science, physics & science with some of the hardest problems in human history being solved by AI over a period of weeks. Depending on your perspective, it's either a crisis, a triumph, or both. I don't think anyone knows for sure. We're all trying to make sense of it. I oscillate between fear/dread and optimism/excitement on a daily basis. The rate of progress is insane, including today's announcement from OpenAI of more problems solved. To help make sense of all of it, here's my conversation with three mathematicians about this moment. Each of them is an expert in the field of each of the biggest problems solved: Navier-Stokes, quasi-Riemann hypothesis, the unique games conjecture and complexity theory more generally. Ankur Moitra is a mathematician and theoretical computer scientist at MIT, visiting the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Steven Brunton (@eigensteve) is a mathematician and fluid dynamics expert at UW. Alex Kontorovich (@AlexKontorovich) is a mathematician at Rutgers specializing in number theory.

New Starlink in flight Wi-Fi review: "I was flying over the Sierra Nevada mountain range recently when I had a tech experience that left me enthralled. It also shows why I believe @elonmusk is the greatest technologist working today. Simply stated, I was blown away. Instead of playing a downloaded movie, I logged in to Netflix and couldn’t believe the quality of the streaming. So, I did what any broadband speed freak would do. I grabbed my Ookla app and tested the download speeds. It came back at a blazing 408 megabits a second. That’s roughly 30% faster than the median speeds for U.S. households, the vast majority of which have hardwired connections. I bring up this example because I believe it speaks volumes about how Musk just keeps on transforming the world around us." In fall 2027, Southwest Airlines expects to complete a fleetwide rollout of Starlink, becoming the first major airline to do so.

My faith in Christ is everything. I lean on Him daily — not for recognition, but to fulfill the call He’s put on my life. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5-6

Never apologize for charging what you’re worth.

Could the following be the MOST OBSOLETE ADVICE today? “Go to school, get good grades, so you can get a high paying job!” A few days ago the Wall Street Journal ran an article about a Princeton PhD in Technology, who applied to 230 companies and was rejected 230 times. The reason, most of those companies turned him down was because were laying off highly educated employees and replacing them with AI. My question to you….my valued X- followers is: How many of you have the same antiquated, out of date advice running in your head? And at the same time, I thank you….my open-minded X-followers for allowing me to challenge the way you think…. Trusting you come up with your own answers…. rather than believing everything I say. I’m in the same boat with you, sailing through some of the biggest changes…. Possibly the greatest RESET…in world history. FYI: “RESET” simply means “ What worked in the past will not work in the future.” Just as the car replaced the horse, and Amazon is wiping out shopping malls, AI is already replacing doctors, lawyers, and accountants. So take care, keep an open mind…be aware of antiquated ideas,….be willing to let go and grow….and I will happily toast your greater future!!!!

P cool, huh? 🇺🇸🚀 @ndstudio FTW

SpaceX's AI Business Grew 830% in One Year

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “There will never be flying cars.” Elon Musk: “Hold my beer.”

The reason people are so excited and impressed by Elon’s flying car, despite its impracticability, is that it’s one of the first times in recent memory of a physical innovation. Not another app, not another software, not another chatbot, a real three dimensional thing that changes how we interact with the physical world. I think this is what the irritation with tech has been for many “luddites” of late, it all seems to be pulling us into a screen. Whereas Elon’s invention seems to be finally doing the opposite. If you’re building things in the real world too, even if it’s paintings, cashmere sweaters, books or sculptures, you’ll appreciate this.
