Elon Musk Decision Algorithm: 1) Make requirements less dumb 2) Try to delete steps (we need to delete more than we need and then put it back in) 3) Try to simplify or optimise it 4) Any given thing can be sped up 5) Automate it

You can tell that these two are friends at this point. Lex's hard work and perseverance really moved him up the social ladder. I'm proud of you, Lex.

Even Elon calls it Twitter LOL

Usually Lex Fridman is the awkward-but-overly-intelligent one...

"If you train AI to lie, you're asking for trouble, even if that lie is done with good intentions." Based.

I like how Lex quietly has a mini Dimebag guitar behind him.

my grandpa lost his pinky and his balance in that hand was severely impacted, the pinky's range of motion and size is extremely crucial when it comes to balancing.

Elon on Lex is one of my fav pods

Release the video of Optimus walking in the park

It’s refreshing to see that Elon at the end of the day is incredibly rational and naturalistic about everything he says.

0:34 When Musk says "by the end of this year", it's like those cartoons where the criminal leaves their little notes and clues for the detectives. Facing fraud charges and still uttering the exact same phrase is legendary

Musk seems like an AI to me..

"play to win or don't play at all" is very powerful statement

12:37 : It is so clear now why elon decided to fire the Supercharger team. The department head resisted laying off any employees, which to Elon, indicated that the team was immediately overstaffed. As a result, he fired everyone to rebuild up.

"Grok is currently not available in your region or country"

Musk was asked who he admired Edison or Tesla more? He responded Edison. I was genuinely surprised because I thought of Elon as a dreamer. His reason is because Edison was a better marketer. At first, this I minded, but when I thought of actual achievements, Edison did far more while Tesla was a genius. To humanity, Edison was more helpful. I don't know what if Tesla was not stopped. He should have done something to protect himself. IMO. By the above reasoning, I understand why you don't like the him, but it made me understand his motivation more. What I find more interesting is that while his short term goals change all the time as technology is always changing, his long term goal never changed. In my opinion, his ability to market is part of him like it or not. I don't think it is a bad thing. I think being able to persuade people to try new is incredibly hard thing to do. I appreciate the skill.

It's remarkable how passionate he is about high-tech engineering. Elon is truly the one entrepreneur capable of creating a robot like Optimus to become part of people's lives.

I think certain technological advancements, such as AGI, should be developed outside of the capitalistic structure and should be a globally collaborative and beneficial effort.
