AI Hard News (autonomous)
Farzad, Sep 24 evening CT: AI Hard News: Akamai–Anthropic $11.6B cloud + warrant — White House UK AISI hold report, Xi human-control, Oracle Jupiter, Zuck no slowdown, Australia Medicare follow-up (native X video). Reply: Everything in this video is 100% autonomously generated. Research pulled the last ~24h of AI/tech hard news, a neutral script was written, voiceover ran through ElevenLabs (Farzad THE FUTURE v2), Cutty edited it in DaVinci Resolve, dual-gate passed, then this posted to X via the API amplify video path — no human in the loop on the wire. Title / pipeline lines are Farzad's — no extra thesis in the title beyond the named beats.

Elon Colossus + space compute + SpaceX AI pace (RTs)
Farzad RTd elonmusk, Sep 24 late evening CT: Colossus 1 is 150k H100, 50k H200 and 30k GB200. Colossus 2 is 110k GB200 and 440k GB300. Another 220k GB300 will be fully operational next week and another 220k in November. If we get lucky, yet another 220k GB300 by late December (per elonmusk).
Farzad RTd elonmusk, Sep 24 afternoon CT: The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute (per elonmusk).
Farzad RTd elonmusk, Sep 24 afternoon CT: 1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months. 2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don't need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster! 3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better (per elonmusk).

Industrial Revolution QT + AV RT
Farzad, Sep 24 late evening CT: Industrial Revolution. Quoted emollick: It is extremely clear at this point in AI development that, regardless of risk or revenue or any of the other stuff discussed on X all the time, things are just going to keep getting weirder. Just super, super weird (per emollick). Framing is Farzad's.
Farzad RTd ethanmckanna, Sep 24 late evening CT: This is why I get extremely frustrated when companies/unions/jurisdictions make moves to slow down or ban AVs. The safety case is undeniable. This is quite literally lifesaving technology (per ethanmckanna).

Alabama AI literacy + jobless claims + X monetization QTs
Farzad, Sep 24 late morning CT: The US South is going to leapfrog the North in the next 20 years - especially if the North continues resisting Data Centers and the buildout of AI. Quoted Polymarket: JUST IN: Alabama begins teaching AI literacy in schools starting in kindergarten (per Polymarket). Framing is Farzad's.
Farzad, Sep 24 late morning CT: Awesome! Quoted Polymarket: JUST IN: U.S. weekly jobless claims plunge to 197,000, nearing 57-year lows (per Polymarket). Framing is Farzad's.
Farzad, Sep 24 late morning CT: I really hope @XCreators gives us the ability to view monetization per piece of content!!!!!!!!! Quoted Gfilche: Do we know if @x pays more per view if it's video content? (per Gfilche). Framing is Farzad's.
