I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Optimus+PV will be the first Von Neumann probe, a machine fully capable of replicating itself using raw materials found in space

And she lives in Canada does she?

He's just groping for another science fiction meme. First mass drivers, now VN machines.

Or he could just pay taxes on his 800 billion dollar fortune.

but i won't

but i won't

I'd rather he not. Privately funded police lead to privately loyal police.

Also BS. Musk doesn't even pay his own workers properly.

It's what he does.

More lies from the worst liar, fraudster and con artist in history.

Next, he's going to tell us that Optimus will soon have the capability to breed winged pigs.

ELON MUSK: "Space solar actually costs less than terrestrial solar because you don't need heavy glass or framing to protect it from extreme weather events. So as soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number, it immediately makes extremely compelling sense to put AI in space.

It becomes a no brainer. Basically, more of a as you go to space, you get increased economies of scale, and things get easier over time, whereas as you try to put more and more power on the ground, you run out of space and you start using up the easy spots, and then you get next level. Nobody wants the thing in their backyard.

So then increasing power on earth has becomes harder over time and more expensive over time, but in space it becomes actually cheaper and easier over time."

More total nonsense.

As soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number? It's still more than a thousand dollars per pound. A 400 watt solar panel without the glass and frame will cost about $5000 to put into orbit.

Formal announcement of the TERAFAB project, which will be done jointly by @SpaceX and @Tesla, tonight around 8pm CT. Livestream on 𝕏.

The goal is to produce over a TERAWATT of compute per year (logic, memory & packaging) with ~80% for space and ~20% for the ground.

I can see why he would want that to be the goal. The cost of putting one trillion watts into space today only amounts to somewhere between thirteen and thirty trillion dollars.

Nah, that's the swamp creature in what's left of the White House.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Too stupid.
Solar power in space is obviously more expensive, harder to upgrade or replace, and then you have to have something to use the power for - transmitting it to the surface is problematic and utterly inefficient

But after a while all the swine start looking alike.

"No brainer". Very apposite.

He's saying it would be used to run the AIs, which would also be in orbit.

Not suggesting it all makes sense, but that bit does seem to.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Ai in space is even stupider

 

[dirtywick]

if you own a rocket company and your stock is starting to dip want in on this investor cash before it dries up and the whole thing collapses, then you start putting ai in space
