my first experience with coding agents has made me realize we need 100x the amount of data centers and nvidia is still undervalued

Over 4000 workers just became millionaires by owning the means of production and the socialists are pissed

Between Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and other initiatives it's hard to imagine anyone who has done more in recent history to advance humanity and improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people than Elon Musk.
I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism. Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything. Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government. It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company. Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one. That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want. Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment. The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

Replying to @RtrnSanity
I like Spencer’s style. He just says “hey, that’s not good. let’s fix that”—instead of “MSM is lying to you! Where is Hunter’s Laptop? It’s all rigged.” I really don’t care about the Political Crusades. I just want the homeless people off the sidewalk.

I’m a lifelong Democrat I don’t care if an idea comes from the left, the right, or anywhere in between. I care if it works Vote for ideas first People second Parties third LA is collapsing under ideology and incompetence This man actually wants to solve the problem
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA "The future is here, just not equally distributed" - Robert Heinlein

This is really impressive but if they shut my laptop while my agents are running I'm sending them back
We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

Walking it back while claiming people are wrong for calling her out is crazy. Like she can just say we should stop companies from taking advantage of the system and no one would have a problem but she chose to villainize everyone and ruin her credibility instead
The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers. If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems. The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale. We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability. Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

Your AI agent will soon have a new skill: Run lab experiments
Welcome to the scientific revolution. 100s of robots. Zero coffee breaks. America’s largest autonomous lab, open today.

“They built an AI that can hack everything! We must shut it down now!” Okay but what happens when China builds it instead and we have no defense?
Yesterday in the PauseAI discord the CEO (lol what?) posted "WARNING SHOT PROTOCOL - FIRST EVER ACTIVATION"

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.
California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Today, we're taking decisive action against 14 providers who tried using stolen identities to bill Medi-Cal for nonexistent hospice services.

10k liquid millionaires with experience building space tech at a time when space tech is just starting to take off. Many more SpaceX's will be born
SpaceX going public in June would be the single largest venture outcome in startup history. It may create 10k liquid millionaires. These people are scientists, engineers and motivated by big ideas. This is an incredible outcome for society that will have positive ripple effects into the future.

People are still underestimating the impact this will have on space tech. We’re gonna have a Cambrian explosion here soon.
It’s actually insane what SpaceX is doing to the space industry right now In 1981, it cost ~$65,000 to put 1 kg into orbit For 50 years, the industry accepted this as the standard. Reusable rockets were "impossible" Then one company - led by a man obsessed with getting humanity to Mars, decided that $65,000/kg was unacceptable Right now, Elon and the SpaceX team are building Starship to hit $10–$20/kg That is a massive ~4,000x price collapse It’s actually wild that we get to watch this happen in real time

About once a week a waymo gets stuck in this alley for no reason. Sometimes just sits there for half an hour, sometimes backs all the way back down the alley. Been happening for over a year

Worries that software developer jobs are going away are backwards. There is SO MUCH software to build right now, that previously wasn't possible (uses AI directly) or wasn't cost-effective (too niche). We're going to have more developers, and orders of magnitude more software.
