I had a discussion on Randy Kirk’s youtube channel about the stunning implications of Tesla Real World AI, integration with XAI Grok superintelligence and Tesla energy.
The world will be massively changing over the next few years and the foundation for the changes are already moving into place.
The changes with AI and humanoid bot are like enriched uranium. The story for the past few years was that the centrifuges of new technology were made. Now the kilograms of enriched uranium are being brought together. Soon the various pieces are being combined. There will be several critical masses of AI and supertechnology.
I explain more about distributed AI, XAI and superintelligence in these other videos.
Distributed AI is selling profitable computer chips that are 20 to 1000 times more powerful than laptops into every home. The powering of those chips will be with solar panels on your homes. Collectively a hundred million such chips in cars and bots would have 100 gigawatts of compute. This is more than all of the nuclear reactors in the USA.
I explain that the stage of FSD. If we improve three times from version 11 to version 12.3 then this is like going from a teenage driver to an average experienced driver. If we go from 12.3 to 12.5 and get another three times improvement that is going from an average driver to a professional driver.

The fiction writer Jack Williamson wrote his novella “With Folded Hands” in 1947.
I read the story as a kid in the mid-50s. I still think that story is the most chilling description of the eventual impact of AI on humanity, that I’ve ever read.
If you can find a copy read it. And remember it was written 77 years ago.
Did you see the latest results about microtubules and consciousness.
If correct, the task may be a million times harder than we thought.

Until then, I’d like Grok to categorize the comments on Twitter, and sort them by pro, con, corrective and unique takes.
I have no doubt that the singularity & all it entails , as per Kurzweil etc is coming & soon. But like Sabina Hossenfelder & Kartik Gada state economics ,& I’d add, human factor ( fear, concern, change management) will make this transition much longer 2060s NOT 2030s.
Large Multimodal Models trained on the body of human creative output are running out of training data as they get larger and more capable. Synthetic data helps but the obvious next level is training NN on data from interacting with the real world themselves. Tesla is the acknowledged leader in this.
Nice story but come back to earth. A great deal of AI ability will be all revved up with no place to go.
This is a very cheap article meant to make to glorify Tesla by making it look like some sort of an invincible All capable monster. The truth is that it is is not even in the first line of ai I tools . The Iai Revolution does not star with Iran mass elon Musk is not even close to the center of this revolution . To make up for this his Chinese monkeys are working hard to mislead the public about Tesla AI capabilities just like their forefathers were hard at work glorifying emperor.
Who is in the lead then? You can see on YouTube how they are all going and Tesla seems miles ahead to me?
And then magic happened and everyone lived happily ever after. Don’t know, but all this sounds too optimistic to be true.
Whatever happens, people will still:
– need shelter.
– need food.
– need money.
– need security and protection of property.
Unless you are implying Tesla/xAI, Google, Meta et al will be producing things and giving those away for free, not many things will change in that regard.
Mass-produced humanoid robots will make everything cheaper. Look up the RethinkX article “This Time, We Are the Horses.”
Yes, they will, but that doesn’t change the neediness of humankind.
Capitalism, like it or not, is the most efficient system ever invented to allow people to look for their sustenance and interests.
And for capitalism to exist, we need good governance (yes, laws!) allowing free exchange of things others need. A company needs people willing to work producing stuff, and people’s got ready hands and bodies to work. Hence free exchange of work for money.
But if the company needs far less people because of their worker-matic robots, or it doesn’t need them at all, what will people exchange to earn a living?
Yeah, UBI and whatnot. Which assumes the capitalist elites will want to donate a lot more taxes to keep the idle citizens fed and sheltered. Right.
The ideal is that everything will get so cheap by automation, that we will be able to live from the gubmint’s munificence, while the rich entrepreneurs become trillionaires while paying ultra high taxes to keep the scheme working.
I’m rather skeptical of this, because 1) governments are historically bad managing other people’s money. 2) central planning is always worse than local individual planning 3) rich people hate to pay high taxes and can always manage to dodge them by any legalese technicality available.
The thing is, this has already happened compared to life 200 years ago.
We hardly work at all, and 90% of us live better than a king of old.
Employment rate has dropped from 0,8 to 0,6 in the last 50 years, and yet standard of living goes up.
We don’t have UBI, but we have welfare, pensions, scholarships, unemployment money.
I expect the gaps between these to go smaller.
Now westeners can deal with this because we had several generations to adapt.
But when you introduce this abundance to aboriginals or other indigenous people, they can’t deal.
Suddenly your spear throwing skill is worthless, and you need to find new purpose in a world that don’t need you, and that is hard!
.
“Make everything cheaper”
Yes, and eventually biological life, too.
“Eventually” may not be that far in the future.
I don’t know man. For sure it will be the end of call centers. They’ve been trying to get rid of the people on the other end of the service call for decades. Mentioning the Manhattan Project or comparing to the atom bomb is kind of like mentioning Hitler in a hyperbolic sort of phrasing. Hype. I love my car with roll up Windows, and nobody’s going to replace me with a bot without me training that bot, and I’d sooner just do the job.
