No Steering Wheel / Cybercab First Ride

nic_carter FSD Miami rain (RT)

nic_carter, Sep 20 late evening CT: picked up Tesla Model Y at the dealership in ~5 minutes; put it in full self driving on busy Miami streets in the rain; ~10 minutes in, a driver tried to merge without looking and the Tesla nimbly swerved and made room; ~70% sure it would have been a collision had he been driving; pretty remarkable stuff (per nic_carter). Farzad RTd (and liked). Anecdote and 70% line are nic_carter's.

AI fill the universe with magic (QT)

Farzad, Sep 20 evening CT: In an optimistic future, humans will observe AI fill the universe with magic. Quote-tweet of elonmusk replying to realDonaldTrump that it will be incomprehensibly smart to us. Farzad's framing is his; "incomprehensibly smart" line is elonmusk's.

Boring Company Hyperloop QT

elonmusk, Sep 20 midday CT: Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph); traffic can take up to 2.5 hours today; BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins (per elonmusk). Farzad quote-tweeted HOLY MOLY CANOLY. Speed / time claims are elonmusk's.

larsencc Week 1 at SpaceXAI (like)

larsencc, Sep 20 late evening CT: Week 1 at SpaceXAI; intensity is real and people are great; lots of information coming from every direction; managed to fix a bug in Grok Bot browser use; more exciting stuff coming; Grok is going to be great and agents still have a long way to go; asks grok.com / Grok Bot users what is most urgent to fix or missing (per larsencc). Farzad liked. Week-1 / bug-fix / agents lines are larsencc's.
