Three months ago, two things happened: I launched New Things and discovered traditional business banking is a mess. True story: I had to go to an actual brick-and-mortar branch to open an account, then wait a week for a card to arrive in the mail before I could spend...

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

My first meal with Posha shows where humanoid robots, human, Robotaxis all fit together in the home. My wife is away this weekend so had to make food for me and the kids. I tried a Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. First, the kids loved it. And they are very picky eaters. So huge success. But the tasks broken down show how robots are about to change our homes deeply. First I had to go shopping for the ingredients. My closest grocery store is a 10-minute drive from my home. Then when in the store it took me about 25 minutes to find everything for the meal and wait in line to pay. That is 45 minutes out of my Saturday. Then once I got home, preparing all the food, mincing garlic, cutting chicken and sausage, took me about 20 minutes. Loading the Posha and setting it up took another five. Then it worked for almost two hours while my friend and I watched Formula 1. If I had to stir and cook I wouldn’t have been able to have nearly as much fun. Then cleaning up and loading the dishwasher took another 15 minutes. Once Robotaxis (humanless ones are just starting in my neighborhood) and humanoids arrive (I expect them in 2027 in this context) then the buying and cleaning steps will be automated and some of the preparation steps. So cooking this meal will go from multiple hours to maybe a few minutes to help cut and mince things that maybe a humanoid will struggle with. Which means I get to spend a lot more time to spend with my friends and family. Which is why I am an early customer of 1X, and Tesla Robotaxi, and a variety of AI tools, like Genspark (an optional ingredient was Okra that my Safeway and Walmart did not have so in the future I will have an app I built in Genspark call around to find). Doing things with AI lets you do less of the things you hate (I hate going to grocery stores and having to stand over a hot stove making a decent sauce) and more of the things I love (watching Formula 1 with friends). Who will be the company that puts this all together in a way most humans can understand? Some Chinese company? Sunday ? Or Tesla? My bet is on Tesla. We will see by 2030 whether I am right.
