They say AI will destroy work. I say, good. Because what we call work today has destroyed us - our creativity, our families, our purpose. Time to let machines do machine work. Humans can be human again.

Enjoy the weekend friends, make sure you spend some time outside, with friends and family, go do something active, and remember half the people you're arguing with online are mentally ill or simply unwell, don't take them too seriously. Life is extraordinary and beautiful

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas
In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab.
Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply.
This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year
The future is built in Texas

While Moore’s law is not obsolete
It is no longer the main driver or the complete story when it comes to AI.
Elon Musk was asked how fast AI is moving, and answered by correcting the most aggressive forecaster in technology for not being aggressive enough.
Musk: “I have to give credit to Ray Kurzweil in being actually remarkably accurate in his predictions. If anything, I think he was perhaps a bit conservative in his predictions.”
Kurzweil spent thirty years publishing timelines that were treated as proof he had lost the plot. He hit nearly all of them. The word Musk used for that record was conservative.
Kurzweil built his forecasts by reading the rate of change. Musk is reading it now.
Musk: “The dedicated AI compute appears to be growing by a factor of 10 every six months.”
That is not a projection. “Appears to be growing” describes something that has already happened.
Musk: “Almost a 100x improvement per year, at least for the next few years.”
Moore’s Law was 2x every two years. That one curve produced the internet, the smartphone, the cloud, and every instinct you have about how fast the world can change.
Your sense of normal was calibrated on 2x. The system is running at 100x.
The new world is not being built next to the old one.
Musk: “Probably a lot of the data centers, maybe most of the data centers that currently do conventional compute, will transition to AI compute.”
The infrastructure holding up the current economy is being converted into what replaces it. The old world is the raw material for the next one.
Every generation assumes the speed it grew up with is the speed of history. Ours is the first to be handed the actual number and still round it down.
Everything you build takes time. A child, a trade, a life’s work. All of it rests on the assumption that the world will still be recognizable when the work is finished.
That assumption has held for every human who has ever lived. It was never a law of nature. It was a side effect of how slowly things moved.
The most extreme forecast on record came in low. Reasonable is no longer the safe position. It is only the comfortable one.

We’ve now entered the era of Science 3.0, in which human & AI scientists work together. Within the next decade, we will enter Science 4.0: the final stage of scientific discovery, where AI & robots independently automate the entire research process & make discoveries on their own

AI safety.
Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence warns that a recursively self improving AI could rapidly surpass human control, pursuing goals that are misaligned with our survival and leaving us powerless to correct.
AI alignment is very important.

Brain-computer interfaces are the future. From restoring function for the disabled to expanding capacities for the non-disabled, through therapeutic applications, temporary use, and noninvasive designs, they will amplify what humans can do.
This is the critical moment to confront the issues exactly as we did with cybersecurity and privacy before the technology scales.

We were clever enough to invent artificial intelligence,
limited enough that we need it,
and still not wise enough to know if it was the correct decision.
But the factories are already running.
There is no pause button.
The only rational response is to accelerate and stay at the frontier
