(44:30) where are we with self-driving?

and MUCH more

Key Takeaways:
-Activating StarLink in Crimea is a potential major act of war
- Musk compares the request to turn on connectivity in Crimea to a "Pearl Harbor" type attack on Sebastopol, a Russian naval base in Crimea
- Musk is being criticized for voluntarily providing StarLink services
- If StarLink had never been offered, there would be no criticism
- Maintaining Twitter isn't as complex as some think and doesn't need a big team
- This rapid development has been achieved with about 15% of the original company size
- X aims to provide fair and competitive compensation for all creators (written content, images, videos...)
- How to go viral on X?
- Content that keeps users engaged for a longer time is given higher priority within the algorithm (long-form articles or podcasts)
- Native content posted directly on the platform tends to receive more reach compared to external links
- NARAL initiated a boycott against the platform, leading to a significant drop in US advertising
- The boycott, referred to as a "pause," had a lasting impact on advertising, especially in the US
- Despite the boycott, third-party analyses showed a decrease in views of hateful content on the platform
- The issue with organizations like ADL extends beyond hate speech or anti-Semitism
- China's military strength has been steadily increasing, while the US's remains relatively static
- The South China Sea is becoming a potential hotspot for a showdown
- If diplomacy fails, China may resort to force
- One way or another, there will be a resolution to the Taiwan issue, and it is a matter of when, not if
- Initially, Musk supported OpenAI's mission to ensure AI benefits all of humanity but became uncomfortable with the shift towards a closed, for-profit model
- He is wary of excessive power concentration, especially with Microsoft's deep involvement
- The transition to neural network control is the final step to make FSD safer than human driving
- This transition involves replacing approximately 300,000 lines of C++ code with neural network-based control
Tesla is nearing a point where FSD can operate safely without human intervention, even allowing passengers to sleep in the car
