For our free newsletter this week, we look at AI’s new uncanny valley, where digital workers are no longer just tools in the background but visible participants in the real economy.  @IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week. AI is creating a new uncanny valley, not

Mile 1,280 without my hands on the wheel. The autonomous age is here. When I first saw autonomous cars they couldn’t complete DARPAs challenge and they didn’t even have a roundabout as part of the course. Having fun vacation rocking out in California.

What will humans be doing in 10 years? 1. In a decade most people will not be driving. What will we do instead? 2. In a decade most people will have robots in their businesses and probably their homes. 3. In a decade we won't be looking at 2D monitors much anymore. 4. In a

Tesla is in a free fall. Its products are getting attacked. Its customers are getting mocked. Flipped off, and worse. To the point where I've seen several bumper stickers in Silicon Valley on Tesla's like this one. I, too, am continuing taking heat from family and friends for

Hmm @elonmusk calls his new AI “grok.” So what does “grok” mean? GPT-4 answers: “The term "grok" comes from Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel "Stranger in a Strange Land." In the context of the book, "grok" is a Martian word that means to understand something or

I was blessed with the first ride (and first sales pitch) with Elon Musk @elonmusk in the first Tesla. Which showed me that he, alone, was driving Tesla forward from the very beginning. Of course I voted for the proposals that shareholders are presented with and I recommend you

Steve Jobs, when he formed his first iPhone team of about a dozen people, told them "you are not allowed to hire anyone who has worked on a phone before." I didn't really grok that until I saw this. What "rules" are about to be broken due to AI? All of them. A NeRF has

1960, Orson Welles explained how he wrangled complete creative control for his first film, Citizen Kane, as well as the value of “ignorance” to break through old ideas.

When a video like this drops I watch what the Tesla community says about it. Most are missing that this means the Robotaxi network will operate 24 hours a day. If you get out of a bar at 2 a.m. and a dirty one arrives you'll refuse it, and wait for another, which will take an

Big year coming in tech. Three major products coming from @OpenAI, @Tesla, @Apple. All heavy on AI. It feels like 1977. Star Wars and the Apple II came that year. Exciting!

Why does @sama want Chinese models banned? Tomorrow a major Chinese company is launching a new multimodal model that matches @OpenAI’s 4.5 but at a far lower cost.

My brother just called. Said he found a used Tesla Model S for $35,000 in Virginia with 22,000 miles. And a used Model 3 for $22,000. Said he never thought he would be able to afford one. This is great for the electric car movement. Once you own electric it is very hard to

Meta refused to pull my son's photo off of Instagram even though he is special needs and was shot by a high school student in a bathroom. So fuck threads and Zuckerberg.

If you can't afford the rich person's computer toys, stay alive. In 1989 I was so jealous of Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak who bought a $45,000 color printer to print from Photoshop 1.0. Today a $70 printer is way way better. The Israelis who are making the optics for the
