We’re sending TPUs to space (yes, really).
After years of research, we’re launching a satellite to evaluate if and how Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) hold up in orbit.
The test mission, as part of our latest moonshot — Project Suncatcher — is designed to gather data exploring how we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space.
ALT White text on a black background with photos of a TPU and a rocket orbiting Earth. The text reads: “Meet Project Suncatcher, our moonshot to test whether we can host AI infrastructure in space.”

We’ll be looking to see how well the TPUs withstand the harsh conditions of space to assess whether we can eventually host machine learning in orbit.”

UPDATE: AIs have achieved the highest *possible* score on the Mensa Norway IQ test - 151
3 years ago: cognitively impaired human (64 IQ)
2 years ago: average human
1 year ago: genius human
Today: literally off the charts
Next year?
In ONE year, the smartest AI jumped ***40 IQ points*** from 96 to 136 IQ on Mensa Norway.
In ONE year, AI went from an average human to a higher IQ than almost ALL humans.
And one year from now...?
...Do you see it yet? What's about to happen?

It was moving
Legacy media REFUSED to show you a SINGLE SECOND of President Trump's speech and historic state dinner with Xi Jinping tonight at the White House
So here's the ENTIRE thing, from start to finish, with translations for Xi's speech
DO NOT LET LEGACY MEDIA KEEP YOU IN THE DARK

The NGOs end up increasing the number of homeless people they manage, because that’s the only way to increase their revenue! Incentives drive outcomes.
“Homeless” is a propaganda word used to describe people on the street who are mentally ill or severely addicted to drugs. The word implies that this is someone who fell a little behind on their mortgage payment and they’re one job offer away from getting back on their feet, which is obviously false if you’ve ever tried talking to a “homeless” person in SF, LA, NY, Austin or anywhere else.
The honest reality is that we need to bring back asylums for extreme mental illness or drug addiction for those who are a serious danger to themselves or others.
Incentives determine outcomes
If you give an NGO a certain number of dollars per homeless person, they will never solve homelessness
SF spends more than $1b/yr (up 5x) and the homeless population has only grown
NGO fraud is so insane, man.

Elon has warned for over a decade that AI poses an existential risk. In 2014 he likened it to “summoning the demon.” In 2018 he called it far more dangerous than nukes. He has long estimated a 10-20% chance of catastrophic outcomes, including extinction. Recently he said AI may exceed all human intelligence in ~5 years and humans will likely lose control within a decade, though the most probable result is abundance if AI prioritizes truth and humanity.

I recently had a conversation with a NASA JPL engineer that was bemoaning the fact that the internal “Planetary Protection” department at NASA threw up substantial roadblocks for Mars missions in the name of protecting the pristine Martian environment. They will surely be apoplectic about this.
I kind of think we should just get it over with and empty a septic tank on mars so nobody can imagine it needs dedicated protection. Project Vandalize Mars.
Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼
With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars.
To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials.
The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey.
This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier.
It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️

Gavin Baker owned 15% of Nvidia and 10% of Tesla sub-$2 billion. His biggest regret won't be either. It'll be the price you'll pay for SpaceX after the IPO.
"A company like this comes once in your career. Thank God I took it. Plenty of people didn't."
His analog: British East India Company. Empire scale, not tech scale.
The setup:
- 10,000 SpaceX employees could have sold every 6 months for a decade
- Almost nobody did
- Secondary pricing is a decade underpriced
Baker on the Elon-Anthropic partnership: "Four months ago it didn't exist. Then it made sense. Everyone has a price."
Incumbents realign around SpaceX gravity when it moves.
The IPO doesn't price the company. It prices the last window.
Gavin Baker: "The Magnificent 7 will go from $10-12 trillion to $50-100 trillion. But one or two of them will go extinct."
His foundation-model survival list is short:
- Google — search-plus-Gemini flywheel
- Meta — Llama + ad-revenue self-funding
- xAI — X + Tesla data footprint
Anthropic, OpenAI, everyone else — Baker treats them as commoditized.
His FOMO warning: "Application SaaS is done. If you went all-in on crypto and SaaS in 2021, don't repeat the trade."
On AGI: "Elon says 3 years. I say 5 is safer."
On regulation: "The leading labs weaponized fear of China. There's going to be no regulation."
The math he keeps quoting: $12T → $100T is 8x. But 1-2 die means winners take 30-40% of the total, not 14%.
Baker's frame: no regulation + AGI in 5 years + Mag 7 8x = biggest enterprise-value transfer in market history is happening right now.
