Hardly anyone on Earth understands the magnitude of this. It's actually happening right now. Crazy that we get to witness it close up.

Hey @mattyp Drop the "Grok." Just "Bot." It's cleaner.

I got my personal AI agent, @grok @bot, to book me a haircut - with surprisingly successful (and hilarious) results. I then asked it to animate the resulting conversation with my barber… Please enjoy a glimpse into our strange collective future.

*taps sign*

Hyper-personalised education has arrived, and…it’s incredible. I built myself a “Learn Anything” @bot that teaches me about literally any topic by producing a fully customised podcast and video primer. It works like this: > Choose any topic at all - e.g. “the basics of weening a baby” > Bot asks what your current knowledge level is (and where you want it to end up) > It then thoroughly researches the topic using the most reputable sources (which it cites) > And produces a comprehensive podcast on the topic (to a length of your choosing e.g 5 mins, 30 mins) > As well as an animated video to go with it > You can then go much deeper in the chat with quizzes, deep dives, etc. I have been using this for the last few days to learn about everything from parenting tips to LLM architectures. Small sample from the weening video below. Imagine this at scale in a few years. The future of education is going to be so great! If people are interested I’d be v happy to make this open for free.

Very unfortunate timing for the Porsche team who launched their new vehicle today only to be flying-car-mogged by a trillionaire

No point being the eccentric trillionaire rocket-and-car-guy if you’re not gonna make a rocket car every once in a while

They actually fucking did it

I met Elon in 2013 (that’s me on the left and @ian_goldin in the middle). I asked him what whacky ideas he has had but is yet to build - his immediate answer was an electric vertical-takeoff jet. 13 years later, I think we’re about to see it.

$100 trillion seems entirely feasible. With respect to the timeline my favourite quote about Elon is that he “makes the impossible late”

My @grok @bot assistant (Jeeves) is now liaising directly with my Japanese friend’s @grok @bot (Winston) - together they’re planning a trip for our families to Okinawa. We are through the looking glass here.

A live shoutout on @etnshow - “does Ed Leon Klinger have AI psychosis?” - a just question, my liege

This is the correct mindset. Flying cars, interplanetary exploration, clean energy, superintelligence - it's all coming fast. (And then there's all the other stuff that Elon's companies aren't building).

We are about to see an unprecedented wave of high-profile cyber attacks due to an asymmetry between hackers (armed with superintelligent AI) vs. companies (running ancient software). Watch out for news stories about hospitals, airports, car rental companies, hotels etc.
