Michael Nicolls just just laid out SpaceX's ambition for connectivity that extends beyond Earth
“We will connect the Moon with a constellation, and then we will connect Mars”
"Our goal, again, is to extend consciousness beyond this planet, and we want to go and connect the Moon and Mars
But before that on Starlink, we're creating the technologies to connect the Moon with very high-bandwidth connectivity systems, very high-bandwidth lasers
And we will connect the Moon with a constellation, and then we will connect Mars, and we will form an interplanetary mesh of connectivity that is fundamentally driven by the same technologies we're working on with Starlink
To make this happen, SpaceX needs to keep improving safety in LEO so everyone can operate and scale safely”
Build safe, coordinated infrastructure in LEO first then extend connectivity and human presence to the Moon, Mars, and beyond

'More striking is how fast AI took the lead. Just eighteen months ago, the best AI models fell short of the average accountant’s ~37% score. Today, models ace those same tasks.'
'These results are provocative. So much so that we considered not publishing them for fear of misinterpretation. But we think transparency about the findings matters as people and institutions prepare for rapidly advancing AI.'
“We find that on medium-length, well-defined accounting tasks, frontier AI models are now faster and more accurate than junior accountants, even the best one in our study.” Eighteen months ago they scored well below human accountants
