New information about @Tesla's Cybercab has been revealed in public EPA documents. • Front-wheel drive • Battery capacity: ~48 kWh • 219 horsepower • Curb weight: 3,113 lbs • GVWR: 3,730 lbs • Motor power: 163kW • Voltage: 326v Equivalent All Electric Range is listed at 418 miles, with 375 miles of highway range, but the final EPA range rating is usually a decent bit lower. Tesla has previously stated the Cybercab has about 300 miles of range. Filing: dis.epa.gov/otaqpub/display_…

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Oh wow..

In awe of SpaceX and its story - past, present and the future. You can think about it in 10 different ways and continue re-blowing your mind in circles. Huge congrats to the team! 🚀

Happy @SpaceX IPO day! How many shares did you request, how many got filled?

On Saturday we finish construction on Set II For the past three months, I've been asking myself the simple question: What would Elon do? Elon would build the rocket and put it on the launch stand before he got approval. He would ask: "What's the biggest bottleneck to achieving my mission?" And then go about systematically unfucking the bottlenecks until he and his team made the impossible happen (or failed knowing they burned the 3am oil and did everything they could). "A maniacal sense of urgency is our operating principle." – EM I live by the philosophy: Put your foot on the gas and accelerate towards the cliff believing that ground will appear beneath you. For most people, that would be incredibly stupid. But, this is also how you make impossible things happen on maximally aggressive timelines. To be clear: there is no guarantee this works. But, if it does, I believe this interview will have a significant positive impact on how people see the future and their place in it. And to me that's enough reason to try. Right now, a large swath of humanity has a meaning problem. They feel uncertain about the future and are unsure whether or not they can have a real impact on shaping it for the better. I believe they can. I am max long humanity. "When something is important enough, you don’t worry about fear of failure. You just say: Fuck that. We’re going to get it done." We're building Set II so we have a full month to make this interview happen. If it works, awesome. If not, I'm proud of the effort my team and I put in and we will carry this same mission and urgency into everything we do moving forward.

Tesla AI chip design engineering reviews are so great! Team is awesome. Our AI6 chip might set a record for most amount of usable intelligence from a wafer when factoring in yield.

SpaceX has released a new 30 minute interview with Elon Musk to talk about AI satellites, manufacturing and more. It was filmed at SpaceX Starlink terminal factory in Bastrop, Texas.

Let’s do it @elonmusk

Set is ready @ElonMusk We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice. Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization. My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 

Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets. 
We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.

The Starship V3 heat shield held well

We need heat shields to protect us, since we use the air to slow us down as we return to Earth. From orbital speed, it gets to 1650°C / 3000°F. From the Moon: 2750°C / 5000°F. For yesterday's Starship suborbital test flight, peak was 1450°C / 2600°F. Great to see the @SpaceX progress over the last 3 flights. Making them truly reusable is complex and necessary for permanent, cheap space access. image compilation: @niccruzpatane
