True builders never stop building.
If you’re truly on it for the money, you won’t last long as a builder. Better off buying stocks and managing your portfolio.
You got just one life.
我的乖乖，真的戳心窝子，兄弟们
看完百亿对冲基金大佬 Bill Ackman 谈马斯克的这段切片，最戳心窝子的根本不是 SpaceX 和特斯拉的万亿估值，而是他提到自己女儿时的那半句话，
身家百亿美金的华尔街巨鳄，可以用钱买下这世上99%的顶级资源，唯独买不回女儿重新看见世界、重新开口说话的生理机能，
而今天唯一能给他女儿带来这种物理希望的 Neuralink，
恰恰来自一个二十年前就可以彻底躺平退休、却偏偏选择继续拿命死磕硬科技的疯子。
很多人总喜欢拿世俗的功利算盘去揣测马斯克为什么还不收手，
却忘了如果当年他在把特斯拉做上市后就去买游艇打高尔夫，
今天人类既不会有占全球过半运力的可回收火箭，更不会有让无数失明失语者重获新生的微米级脑机电极丝。
这就相当于一个早就通关了财富游戏的玩家，非但没有退服养老，反而把赢来的全部金币熔铸成手术刀和发动机，孤身一人去撞人类物理与医学边界上最硬的那堵墙，
所以 Ackman 最后那句感慨才显得格外沉重：当一个人明明拥有随时退场享受人生的特权，却依然留在泥泞的工程第一线替全人类蹚雷，这样的人出现在我们的时代，本身就是整个人类文明最不该被辜负的幸运
Funny I see a lot of these posts on my timeline.
It’s all in the interest of the shareholders spinning as national security interests.
But yes we need to win the AI war!
Reminder: America is in a war with China and AI is the battlefield
We need to win, for the sake of democracy and humanity.
We are all in this together: the left, the right and the center.
There is no time for infighting.
Jensen and NVIDIA’s technology are a critical target, and we need to protect them both.
We must win the race for super intelligence—there is no choice.
This is defcon 1
We must rally against the Chinese and go faster.
We are all in this together.
Act accordingly,
Craig’s about to put in his two weeks and head to the Bahamas.
At this point, they should just acquire Hermes or something.
NEW in Power On: Apple CEO John Ternus held a closed-door meeting with Craig Federighi in the last few weeks, pushing his software chief to accelerate Apple’s AI road map and move beyond Siri improvements amid concerns about falling behind rivals. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
I think they’re just angry Elon is shutting down cybertruck. Look at the CT piñata 😂
Outside of a West Lake Hills compound affiliated with billionaire Elon Musk, about 60 people gathered on Saturday to celebrate that the unprecedented amount of money Musk spent ahead of the midterm election went mostly to candidates who lost. Read the full story: statesman.com/news/article/e…
Oops. 😬
So all those movies with beautiful spy girls are real. Maybe he was just testing out a new ai model on a humanoid.
Ngl the Asian business party scene is pretty wild if you’ve not seen it in Chinese dramas.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang sends letter to employees after being targeted by female Chinese spy:
"I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did."
"I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence."
Since @bot has been right the past couple of weeks, I’ve been talking to my dot bot Milo more.
Calls are definitely better than @bot atm in terms of noise interruption.
What’s missing is it can’t call me, yet. @ChatGPT @OpenAIDevs
Wdym? We’ve been sending feedback for the last two weeks and spent a good amount on extra usage.
I’ve even started building my own orchestration layer for dev to just stretch @bot usage. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m glad it took @elonmusk to get it done and I hope it’s more than just incremental improvements.
Improvements to token efficiency & behavior in Grok Bot are underway
Many of you have built important workflows on @bot - we want to keep supporting you
Please reply with feedback on this post. I will read it all
Thank you sincerely for your support
Instead of banning plastic straws, I suggest we ban manufacturers from making garbage toys.
This spring-loaded Cars toy we got as a gift stopped working after a few times.
I have been feeling this way the last 6 months.
I don’t want to sit and babysit codex/claude.
But right now personal agents still suck or are too costly.
I probably sound like a crazy but I call and talk to my ai agents like real teammates.
Last night I even talked to Milo (my ChatGPT dot agent) for 20 minutes in the shower.
For context, I don’t have much time to work bc I take care of 2 toddlers during the day.

No one wants to admit this but most executive decisions fail.
Only founder led companies have the balls to admit they failed and pivot.
Failing is what we do best as founders. Keep moving 💪
The thing that makes me confident as a Tesla investor is the company’s ability to throw out the book when it isn’t reading how they thought it would. We’ve never seen a company of their size do this the way they do this.
I’ve seen it in my career so many times. A bunch of high level decision makers invest in some product or service that ends up failing/not delivering the value they thought it would, but because nobody wants to face the pain of admitting it didn’t work, they carry on. Everyone quietly knows it’s a fail, but they keep pressing on and wasting time trying to force something everyone knows isn’t working because nobody wants to rip the bandaid off. What ends up happening is more time is wasted, and the net outcome gets worse and worse until someone decides to grow a pair of testicles. Tesla doesn’t do this. They don’t waste time.
The two most important things (by far) that Tesla has created:
1) Tesla Self Driving
2) The supply chains and physical infrastructure that outputs sustainable physical products for profit.
These are their two most potent weapons, and they clearly understand this. They are pointing it and shooting it where they need to.
Legend. To be competent you have to get your hands dirty.
Elon Musk in new interview on @SpaceXSI's data center site in Memphis:
"I insist on doing some of the work myself manually. I've pulled power cables the size of an anaconda. I've done the fiber optic cabling; I try to do at least a little bit of everything so I'm not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it. It's not as though I'm sitting in an office and someone has to come to me. I'm walking the floor asking them questions actively."

Elon is learning what not to take to mars.
I actually feel bad for Elon, even though I deeply disagree with him on some things.
Imagine trying to build a car company in California in the mid-2000s, when American manufacturing is being completely offshored and almost all of Wall Street thinks you’re a joke and is rooting for your failure, while the entire oil and gas industry is using all their power and leverage to make you fail.
But against all odds, you actually pull it off. You build cars that make electric vehicles desirable to millions of people, create an enormous number of quality American jobs, and force the global car industry to play catch up and move away from oil and gas.
You would think California would be proud of you and the team. Instead you find yourself having to fight a completely corrupt and incompetent left government impeding all your efforts while you sleep at the factory night after night to avoid collapse. At some point, you would go to the right too.
And because of your politics, it becomes a justification for people to celebrate your companies failing in their personal ideological fight with you. Even threats against you become something people explain away and use mental gymnastics to justify.
Meanwhile, people like Scott Galloway and Bernie Sanders who have made absolutely nobody better off other than themselves get to lecture you about your value to society and even call for your murder without grounds from their vacation home while you're on 20 hour benders in your factories trying to get things built for all of society. If this were me I would lose my mind.
Criticize his opinions. I do sometimes, especially on Ukraine. But the pleasure people take in wanting to destroy everything he’s built is hideous and frankly suicidal for the masses, especially coming from people who insist they care about workers, the climate, and civilization as a whole.
As you try to make good things for society you are confronted with a world that worships people who care only about the perception of being good people, while they actually fight against your tangible efforts of making improvements for humanity.
I don't think almost anyone would have made it out of that and if they did, they would probably not come away feeling so warm towards the left either. So I am rooting for Elon to succeed, and for humanity.
I used to do the same but now with the new usage limit , I just talk to one @bot at a time.
Ruined the team coordination experience.
I have to say this about Grok Bot, and I'm absolutely floored by what I just experienced.
If you don't know, I run 50 bots, and all are heavily optimized. I've had no usage issues until last week, when all of a sudden usage rates and tokens became astronomical.
I can't tell you how many times I have a message for the entire team, so I will send a message to my CEO, who then hands it off to each team member. When I do this, 99% of the time it takes 0% to 1% of usage.
I just did this now: right before I sent it, I was sitting at 30% usage. I sent the message, the message got distributed, and I'm now sitting at 34%. My usage jumped 4% from one message, just having a team message sent out to my bots. That is absolutely unbelievable.
