Met a founding engineer today from Replit ⠕. Jen Li. We were both judging the Pokee AI hackathon. They have me some credits and I built two apps in 20 minutes using the X API:a weather one which mapped storms being reported in by my climate scientist list and another monitoring my three news lists for information about the Iran war. Pokee includes X API for its customers automatically. While doing that my other AI read all your posts: He tells me about why Replit is hugely important in the AI industry. In other words how you can use it in your life and business.

Our robot has driven me and the family for two hours in driving rain across one of USA’s most dangerous roads. Without my hands touching the wheel once. It is how it handled pudddles, two brown streams crossing the road that most impresses me. While coming at us fast. None of you will do better. It was perfect. Which leads to trust. Once you trust a company with your life you will buy anything that company offers. People have no idea how good the AI is from Tesla. Trust will sell a lot of robots. Better. It gets me to trust all AI.

A Tesla Robotaxi drove me home tonight. I left my car at UP. I hit a pothole very hard and it broke something. Yikes. I was even looking at the road during this and didn’t see it in time. Waymo doesn’t yet come to either place. An empty freeway let me see the software that run the matrix headlights in the new Model Y light up the signs in a much better way than in our Model Y. It cleans the camera in a far different way too. No takeovers in 12 rides. I do my homework before I mouth off on ’d subscriber-only show on Sundays. The more experience I get in it the more bullish I get.

Now do you get why Elon Musk bought Twitter? Here I am using X Pro (formerly known as Tweetdeck) while at a Tesla supercharger in my Apple Vision Pro. I was doing a FaceTime call with my producer, and playing music too. He told me he didn’t hear any music even when I turned it up to a pretty high volume. Each column is a list. I am the only human to map out the entire AI industry for you here: Add my lists to your account then go to and add them there as columns. Oh, and here you can see another frustration. Liking posts is often very difficult for me. I am sure that will get fixed but for now it is more early adopter pain. If you started X over by using first principles I would radically rethink X for use in vehicles. But, for now, this is pretty damn awesome.

Happy Chinese New Year. Yang Liping and the Qwen app just dropped a masterclass. They use AI as a "digital muse" to inspire a brand-new Oriental aesthetic. Qwen provided the creative inspiration. Today Maryam and I are off on a road trip with the kids, who are off school this week, for a few days to southern Utah so will be lighter on posting than usual. Enjoy!

This guy has five million AI agents tracking everything publicly available about three billion people! He spent half a million bucks doing that. Be scared? Or be educated? Michael Fanous runs and I have a lengthy conversation about what he's doing and why it could lead to a new kind of social network.

Robots will bring billionaire living to a lot more people. I had the blessing to eat with Guy Savoy several times. One of the best chefs in the world. He, and other top chefs taught me about the importance of getting fresh ingredients. Here is how robots and World Models will bring that and what do I mean by “everything as a service?” In three years I will have this conversation with my 1X Neo humanoid robot: “Hey Neo I want to upgrade our food to billionaire level.” “I can do that. Food as a service costs $500 a month. I will buy only hand grown fresh organic food and I will prepare amazing meals for you and your family.” Where is the supply chain for such food? Farmers’ markets where everything is fresh and organic. You gotta stop buying at grocery stores to upgrade your diet. “Hey Neo here are the keys to Tesla Robotaxi. And here is my credit card. Start up food as a service.” Neo will take an autonomous car to the market. “But Neo how do you know where to go?” “Well a guy on X did a video of the farmer’s market nearby.” “I watched it, and now know roughly the kinds of things I can get there.” We are too late to start today, the market is closed now, but we can start next week. Look at this video the way Grok does. I am playing humanoid today. In one visit my Neo will ingest all of this into its World Model. In the second visit it will get even better. In the third visit even better. World models are going to be real time by the end of next year from a variety of companies. فيصل Tesla Robotaxi already serves both our home and the market. Our Tesla drove us there and already knows where it is. Grok is already a world model. In a few minutes it can tell you what it learned by watching this video. It watches all my videos before distributing them to you. So it knows how not to overwhelm @jason’s feed with my prolific posting. It will get a lot better soon. But after three trips to this farmer’s market my robot will know everything about this market including the names of the farmers. Watch this video, you meet one. Grok can do a RAG search and learn everything about him, including that he doesn’t have a Website, and only posts on Facebook. Also that he takes Apple Pay. It already knows everything it sees. The names of the vegetables, fruits, nuts, and what is ravioli. One vendor sells fresh ravioli made early this morning. If you are freaked out by privacy have your Neo stay in the garage until it is time to do something for you. In three years I will be eating fresh food with my brother in law while football is on the TV. If you don’t have a robot you won’t eat as well unless you are a billionaire who can afford to pay the human to shop and cook for you. The Robotaxi network starts up next year (without humans). The world models get good next year. By 2030 every one of you will have a robot in your home, at least part time. Who has the best world model? Tesla. Who understands the real world better? Grok. (I didn’t give this video to anyone else). Who soon will have the best humanoid? Tesla. Which company already has a Robotaxi in my driveway? Tesla. Which company has the best video ingestion engine? Tesla. Which company is about to turn on a real time world model? xAI. Which company would you want to invest in? Tesla and xAI. Which is why, if you are a Tesla investor and you didn’t vote for Tesla to invest in xAI you hurting yourself.. Everything as a service is about to arrive. Everyone who can afford a $20,000 robot, which can be financed will have it next year. I will. Anyone worried about privacy has no idea how useful this all will be to make your lives better. And how much money it will make for a robot company to put it all together. And only Tesla has all the pieces to make the meal.

This road claims lives every year. This is one of the most dangerous roads in America. A mistake here is like hitting solid concrete at 120 miles per hour. Highway 152 near Gilroy, California. Oncoming traffic at a high rate of speed. Death and destruction only six feet away. Ford’s head of safety told me that most humans don’t do the right thing which is to scrub off maximum energy in to a wreck. I just diss the whole thing without touching my robot once. I am actually a doomer. I think through every millisecond of what would happen if a drunk comes directly at me. You probably won’t survive. But in a Cybercab with no steering wheel there is a good chance. The steering wheel kills many in high speed crashes. Getting rid of the steering wheel and using the extra eight inches of space for a bigger airbag will save many lives. By the way the marketers already know that if you trust a robot to do dangerous jobs for a couple of years you will be happy to trust your Optimus with your sex toys and guns. Figure won’t have the same trust level. Which is why I am most bullish about Tesla when it comes to robots in the home. It doesn’t matter who is first to the home. That won’t be Tesla. It matters most who has the most trust. I will wait for the Tesla. It has earned my trust. My robot does dangerous jobs every day. In the near future the Teslas ahead will warn my robot that a drunk driver is coming so pull over to the side and stop, which is the best action to take. Reduces speed offset by half giving you a dramatically higher chance of survival.

All AI posters at GTC. This is not for human consumption. This video is for AI to watch. Click the grok button and talk to it about what it learned by seeing all the AI posters (highly technical) presented at NVIDIA GTC tonight. Thanks NVIDIA for the badge and access.

The AI beat the human. Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League is exciting. The crowd was pulling for the human. But alas. Exciting Motorsport here in Abu Dhabi. Shows that robots can now compete with humans in Motorsport in a head-to-head race. Here are the final two laps.

What is 1X up to later today at 11 a.m.? Launching its Neo home robot. Here's Andrej Karpathy who I surprised with my Apple Vision Pro on right after he hugged Neo while teleoperating it in one of the demos at its party last night celebrating its launch later today. I will post more after the 11 a.m. launch (pacific time) It is the presentation at the party that really stood out for me. No crazy dancing. No fighting. No being pushed around. No back flips, or other crazy maneuvers that we've seen all over X from other companies. 1x presents it as a skinny, soft, quiet robot that assists homeowners in doing their chores. It's worth watching the launch. I think that's very positive for the robot industry as a whole, because in my consumer research where I ask people what they want to do with a robot in their homes they don't mention doing Kung Fu, or radical dancing, but, rather things like "laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, help around the home." Which I think is a great direction for taking robots toward. It shows that entrepreneurs now are moving past just "tricks to get social media hype" toward "this will make your life better and easier" And that's why I want one. The official launch is at 11 a.m., and then I'll share one more of Bernt's speech and the technology, price, and stats.

Launching now: a new way to follow the AI industry. Beta starts now for the next month. A joint project between Unaligned (my company) and Levangie Labs (Brayden Levangie company). It reads 50,000 of you, and follows 8,300 AI companies here on X. And pulls out the best and most interesting. All built with the X API. Check it out: And please sign up for its daily newsletter. Yeah, $25 a month is a lot for many of you, but that will defray the costs and let me expand it to do a lot more than just AI. Also, the same AI agent that built the site, and did EVERYTHING you see can build custom reports for you on literally any tech community here on X. It supports OpenClaw, RSS, and Notebook LM too. And I'll add more from your requests. More:
