Cybercab lets you control games using game controllers!

Cybercab is trained on >16,000 lifetimes of driving Its eyes see in all directions at once & never fall asleep or get distracted

I've now done a total of 3 hours riding around in @Tesla’s Cybercab and spent a total of $92.51. That travel time would have cost me $200 with Ubers. My longest ride has been ~40 minutes. I legitimately can't come up with any major complaints for FSD V15. None. I’ve spoken to a handful of other people here who say the same. I didn't need to call rider support once. No weird maneuvers, jitteriness, or hesitation. I do think pickup and drop-off locations could use some tweaking (same for Model Y) as you need to walk a bit sometimes, but I think that will get better as V15 progresses. Two things you surprisingly get used to very quickly are having no rearview mirror and no side mirrors. For anyone else trying Cybercab for the first time, I encourage you to recline your seat all the way back and just close your eyes for a minute. Realizing that you can nap in the spot where a driver traditionally sat while the car drives you around with no steering wheel or pedals is a pretty surreal feeling.

Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System Earth is basically a rounding error We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second

Most people have no idea how far ahead Tesla is, because the cars look and drive like other cars. But under the hood, Teslas bear little resemblance to other cars. Every component is (or will be) re-thought from first principles. Even if legacy automakers had the will to start from scratch (they don’t), they don’t have the capability. One example: Ford relies on 150 separate vendors just for its software. Codebases don’t integrate and Ford has to get supplier permission for modifications. Just unwinding that mess will take years. I recently bought a new Toyota for my daughter and it was like stepping back in time. Everything from the buying process to the car itself is largely the same as it was fifty years ago. It’s only improved incrementally. Tesla has built a massive technology lead and—equally importantly—has superior economics. Cybercab is the first example of Tesla leveraging that dominance, but it’s still early days.

Most people don’t realize how insanely autonomous Falcon 9 already is Once Falcon 9 lifts off, almost the entire mission is executed by the rocket itself And the crazy part is This autonomy does not depend on generative AI It comes from brutally refined flight software, physics, sensors, control theory and advanced optimization.....improved across hundreds of missions Falcon 9 autonomously handles: → Liftoff and ascent through closed-loop guidance → Stage separation at precisely calculated conditions → Engine ignition and shutdown sequences → Orbital insertion and payload deployment → Booster boostback, entry and landing burns → Real-time guidance corrections during descent → Landing on a floating droneship hundreds of kilometers offshore → Autonomous flight termination if mission safety rules are violated A 70-meter orbital rocket launches itself, separates itself, puts a payload into orbit.....then the first stage falls back through the atmosphere and lands itself on a floating platform hundreds of kilometers offshore Physics, software, and hardware engineered to absurd precision Falcon 9 is one of the greatest autonomous machines humanity has ever built And SpaceX made it look routine

JUST IN: People aged 65 & older now outnumber children 5 & under worldwide for the first time in recorded history.

Antonio Gramsci – The Most Dangerous Intellectual of the Twentieth Century. Not the most famous. Not the most read. The most dangerous and the most consequential – because he was the one who figured out why the revolution kept failing, and what to do instead. The man who invented the long march through the institutions. Everything that followed — the Frankfurt School, the Fabian Society’s operational model, the WEF formation pipeline, the captured university, the HR department enforcing approved speech — is downstream of what he wrote in a prison cell in Mussolini’s Italy, in code, between 1929 and 1935. 1. His central question: why hasn’t it happened? The working class was supposed to rise. The contradictions of capitalism were supposed to produce the revolution. They hadn’t – not in the West. Gramsci’s answer was precise and devastating: because the ruling class does not maintain power through force alone. It maintains power through cultural hegemony – the control of the ideas, values, and frameworks through which people understand the world. The worker who accepts that the existing order is simply how things are will not revolt, regardless of his material conditions. The revolution requires cultural change first. 2. The instrument was the long march through the institutions. Not the barricade. The school, the university, the media, the judiciary, the civil service, the cultural establishment – every institution through which a civilization transmits its values to the next generation. Capture these, fill them with people who share the counter-hegemonic project, and the cultural assumptions that maintain the existing order gradually dissolve. No barricades. No visible moment of rupture. Just the slow replacement of one cultural hegemony with another. 3. The educational capture was the masterpiece. Control the curriculum and you control the categories of thought available to the next generation. Not by telling them what to conclude – by shaping what questions they think to ask, what they consider obvious and what they consider unthinkable. The generation educated after the long march does not need to be told what to think. It thinks what it was formed to think – and experiences that thinking as its own. 4. He also theorized the organic intellectual – the person who translates the theoretical framework into stories and assumptions that circulate through the culture without appearing ideological. The film that makes the existing order seem absurd. The journalist who frames every story within the approved assumptions. Gramsci understood that culture is politics by other means – and that the side that controls the culture wins, regardless of who wins the elections. 5. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a published, documented, widely taught strategy that the left implemented consciously across the entire Western world. The 1968 generation put it into practice in the universities. They became the professors, the journalists, the civil servants, the judges, the HR directors of the decades that followed. The march took fifty years. It worked. 6. Mussolini’s prosecutor said at his trial: "We must stop this brain from functioning for twenty years." The brain did not stop. It produced thirty-three notebooks – smuggled out, published, and became the most widely read Marxist text in the Western academy after Marx himself. Gramsci died in 1937, six days after his release, at forty-six. He did not see the march he theorized. He did not need to. 7. Every captured institution, every transformed curriculum, every HR department enforcing approved speech, every content moderation policy suppressing the unauthorized voice – all running the program Antonio Gramsci designed in a prison cell, by a brain that was supposed to have been stopped. It wasn’t. And neither was the march. Until now – because the distribution monopoly that made its outcomes enforceable is cracking. The counter-march has begun. It just doesn’t have a name yet.
