    Universal Basic Income (UBI) is coming

    As someone who was followed Bitcoin since 2012, the same arguments were heard back then and it didn't stop Bitcoin from growing in usage. It's not easy to grow from $0 to $1/1337 and then to $70k in 16 years without a few ups and down along the way. Anyone who expected that hyperbitcoinization...

    This seems like a pretty big deal: Maybe not super relevant to TSLA, but I assume that Tesla cars/robotaxi would get Starlink internet so maybe at least a bit relevant...

    Tesla Optimus Sub-Prime Robot

    Fei Fei Li did a great contribution to ML by scaling up the imagenet dataset. Imo Tesla FSD, ChatGPT are standing on her shoulders. The presentation was alright, a bit low on new content and lots of nice sounding words... Still a decent watch:

    This is how I see it. AI has come a crazy way since AlexNet in 2012. And the amount of dollars and hard work going into it now is so much more then back then. So it stands to reason that we will keep seeing lots of progress in the next 12 years. Software will solve so many problems we cannot...

    On the other hand, it might cut down the rate of mutiny from other departments in the future... Maybe a small price to pay long term... Compare this to VW etc where the entire company will fight change from Herbert Diess etc and how much it might cost long term. Imo if you see someone doing a...

    This neural net is running entirely end-to-end, meaning that it only consumes video coming from the bot’s 2D cameras, as well as on-board proprioceptive sensors, and produces joints control sequences directly. It runs entirely on the bot’s embedded FSD computer, powered by the on-board battery...

    (it's a Quest Pro VR headset) I wonder how it feels to do jobs in VR... And will customers be allowed to do this? Could be neat to do tasks from inside and not have to do the heavy lifting all day. But what if someone controls the robot to use a gun? Should we send it to the battlefront in...

    I hear a few people misunderstanding what Tesla and Elon are saying. In ER Elon said they aim to do useful work in the factory in the end of 2024. In this video the show the bot "useful" work in the factory now. Tweets confirm that multiple bots are doing "useful" work in the factory. So what...

    Over the past couple of months, our awesome manufacturing team has built more bots for us to work on, and collect AI data from! We’ve trained and deployed a neural net allowing Optimus to start doing useful tasks, such as picking up battery cells coming down a conveyor and precisely inserting...

    All those years of hard work by large teams of human engineers will be duplicated by ASI in days so any software moat will be moot. Likely future neural networks will be a lot more efficient at learning from small amount of data, maybe on the same or better level than expert humans today. ASI...

    Microsoft today is largely a b2b company. They have the entire software suite for companies including Windows, Outlook, Excel, VS Code, Github, Teams, Dynamics, Azure etc. Imo they will insert AI into every step and integrate it all, making companies using their software much more efficient...

    Some meta debate about Elon being wrong: There are many ways to be wrong. There is being wrong by disagreeing with OP on some philosophical point. Imo that doesn't make Elon wrong, he just has a different view. Then there is being wrong about facts. Community notes will correct these, this is...

    Tesla Unionization

    IF Metall eases the Tesla blockade on May 1 IF Metall eases the blockade against Tesla. The trade union confirms this for Di. The reason is that jobs are outsourced to workshops that do not have a collective agreement, and IF Metall wants to avoid that. "Of course we don't want our conflict...

    Regarding the Chuck Cook turn: V11 was doing decently on this turn using the median. V12 has had ups and downs, visualization from V11 not corresponding to V12 actions etc. Imo it's pretty impressive that they even try it at and that we've gotten to the point where the basics is solved and the...

    What strikes me most is how well Elon is received by China and how sad it is that we in the west are not cheering for our guys anymore. Even if you disagree with Elon on some issues, which most Chinese do, we want the innovation to be happening here... Europe has lost it a long time ago...

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    So I was wrong about FSD revenue recognition due to sFSD no longer being beta. But seems that Autopark released some revenue: I am gonna guess ASS will recognize some more revenue in Q2.

    130% QoQ compute growth. If we extrapolate it, that's 28x/year. Well above the 10x/year that seems to be standard nowadays. But it came a pretty hefty price. But the reason Tesla decided to do that was because they thought the decision to do it had a positive EV. Given the uncertainty the...

    The main advantage of Tesla having a lot more compute is that their engineers can iterate faster and that they can increase the dataset. Meta who has tons of compute has released their newer GPT version and performance has improved a lot compared to last year: Just look at the score of MATH...

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    They have a list of milestones when they will have certain % in deferred revenue. Going from beta to no longer beta likely happened as they thought that they had accomplished some goals which likely correspond to the goals for recognising deferred revenue.

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    Doing the layoff in Q2 will add costs to Q2 for severance packages and restructuring. I think deliveries > production in Q2 as they had lots of cars in transit in Q1 which will add a benefit. I have a feeling they will recognize a lot deferred FSD revenue in Q2 as sFSD is no longer Beta. In all...
