SpaceX will capture an asteroid with more gold than Earth's crust and land Optimus robots carrying American flags on Mars within 8 years. Starship parks Psyche in geosynchronous orbit over an American Pacific atoll. No humans within 50 miles. Optimus robots extract the metals. Delivery to Earth is free though some burns up on entry. Bezos said 15 years ago Earth gets zoned residential as heavy industry moves to space. Vast distances make emissions irrelevant. The same fleet lands on Mars in 8 years max. Optimus robots deploy solar panels, batteries, compute, and Starlinks for 4K video before humans arrive. SpaceX moves the factories off the planet.

【Moo Insights】 SpaceX's latest spectrum deal is already shaking up the wireless market. $SPCX agreed to acquire up to 14MHz of nationwide 800MHz spectrum, reportedly for ~$8B. The move could help Starlink Mobile expand indoor coverage and combine satellite connectivity with a ground network. The market reaction: $T, $VZ, $TMUS: down 5–6% premarket $CCI, $AMT, $SBAC: up 5–6% premarket A potential new rival for wireless carriers could also become a major new customer for cell-tower operators.

T-Mobile spent five years trying to get rid of the exact spectrum Elon just called "the last critical piece" of complete phone coverage in America. This 800 MHz block is Sprint's old Nextel spectrum, the stuff that powered push-to-talk walkie-talkie phones in 2004. The DOJ forced T-Mobile to divest it as a condition of the $26 billion Sprint merger. Dish had first rights at $3.59 billion and walked away because it couldn't raise the money. T-Mobile finally offloaded it to an investment firm called Grain Management last year for $2.9 billion plus a spectrum swap. Grain's original plan was selling it to utilities for private networks. Fourteen months later, SpaceX buys the whole portfolio, and shares of the carriers who passed on it fall as much as 8% in a single afternoon. Here's why it matters so much. Starlink's satellite signal at 2 GHz can reach your phone outdoors, but it dies at the first wall. 800 MHz penetrates buildings. Most phones already have the band built in. So satellites handle the open sky, this low-band layer handles indoors, and suddenly Starlink Mobile covers everywhere a normal carrier does without the tower network. Stack the moves. $17 billion for EchoStar's 50 MHz of 2 GHz spectrum. FCC approval for 15,000 Gen2 satellites this week. Now the low-band coverage layer. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile paid $81 billion in a single auction for C-band spectrum in 2021, then spent years and tens of billions more deploying it on towers. SpaceX assembled a nationwide carrier out of a distressed-asset sale, a forced divestiture castoff, and rockets it already owns. The walkie-talkie spectrum from 2004 ended up being the piece that lets satellites replace cell towers. Nobody who touched it for twenty years saw that coming.

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…

🚨 ULTIMA HORA Elon Musk 🚨 Tiempo restante, como máximo 3 años. Durante este periodo, todavía será posible ganar dinero mediante el "trabajo humano." Pero después de eso, La mayoría de los empleos que hasta ahora han sido remunerados con un salario serán automatizados. El trabajo que genera dinero llegará a su fin. El "sentido de pagar dinero a los humanos" desaparecerá. Este sistema que existe desde hace 200 años 👇 "Si nos prestas tu tiempo durante 40 años, te pagaremos un salario" Esto terminará... El trabajo terminará En otras palabras, se producirá el mayor "traspaso de dinero" de la historia. ¿Cuál es la situación ahora? 👉 Algunas personas se han dado cuenta y han tomado medidas 👉 Muchas personas están "esperando hasta que se diga explícitamente en las noticias" Esta "diferencia de tiempo entre darse cuenta" lo es todo. Entonces, ¿qué hay que hacer durante estos 3 años? Muy sencillo 👇 "Transforma tu propio tiempo en un activo que las máquinas no puedan quitarte" En concreto, estos 👇 * Activos digitales escasos como Bitcoin * Activos reales como terrenos o energía * Ordenadores o infraestructura * Conexiones con otras personas (red) * La capacidad de producir alimentos o cosas necesarias para vivir Entonces, ¿qué es realmente un salario??? 👉 "Solo por haber prestado tu propio tiempo" Si el valor de ese tiempo, Se vuelve más barato y superior gracias a las máquinas... 👉 Ese valor colapsará de repente Al final, lo único que quedará será esto 👇 "Lo que posees (activos)" En estos 3 años 👉 Aquellos que puedan pasar de 👉 "Trabajador asalariado" a 👉 "Propietario de activos" En 2035-2036 Serán los "que vieron el futuro." Después de eso 👉 Los salarios no aumentarán 👉 Con el tiempo, se volverán irrelevantes Lo único que quedará será "quién posee qué" 👇 La puerta de la oportunidad está abierta ahora mismo. Pero se está cerrando más rápido de lo que todo el mundo cree.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed Lunavity, a drone backpack designed to help people jump higher. Its rotors provide upward thrust, allowing users to jump two to three times higher than normal. It also helps them float down slowly, creating a feeling of reduced gravity.

A Communications Primer (1953) is a 22-minute educational short film by Charles and Ray Eames. The film is grounded in Claude Shannon’s groundbreaking work A Mathematical Theory of Communication (1948 paper; 1949 book with Warren Weaver’s introduction). It popularizes Shannon’s classic model: Information Source → Transmitter → Channel (affected by Noise) → Receiver → Destination Charles and Ray Eames translated these abstract ideas—encoding, decoding, noise, redundancy, feedback, signal processing—into warm, concrete everyday examples rather than mathematics. The film uses Shannon’s input/output diagram as a central visual framework. it is a classic.

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. "create an svg of pelican on a bicycle". As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for three js render of it. Opus went off for ~2 hours and wrote 5500 lines of code that (procedurally) rendered the story. It's kind of janky but fun. But it's a bit mindboggling that the LLM has to place and orchestrate various polygon assets in (x,y,z) coordinates and write code that animates it all, and that it even does anything at all. I also like this kind of examples because no one in their right mind would ever spend the time to write something this custom but LLMs have all the stamina and patience in the world, so it's an example where we go from "no one would ever do this" to "sure, why not, it's ~free". There might be a lot more. But I'm excited about creating hyper custom worlds that you can imagine dropping players into, e.g. here to participate in the LoTR story as a spectator NPC, or one of the characters, or etc. Something like an ephemeral GTA of X on demand. Last thought is that the domain of worlds/games exposes a weakness in LLMs: they can't easily audit their work because they aren't able to efficiently and natively perceive videos or play games within them. Here, Opus 5 had to very slowly and painstakingly take screenshots at different points, and it messed up a few times and created a bunch of jank. An example of raw capability (multimodal, gameplay) that I think is still quite lacking.

Every week, these strange white crates leave a high-security Tesla compound in Lathrop, California. They’re showing up near the Hoover Dam. At an Air Force base in Georgia. In the heart of New York City… An estimated 4,000 of them are now spread across 48 locations in 14 states. And more roll out every week. But you won’t see this on CNBC, and you won’t read about it in the Wall Street Journal. Because these mystery Elon crates have nothing to do with electric vehicles, space, social media, crypto, biotech, robots, or AI… The “mystery Elon crates” are Tesla Megapacks — grid-scale battery storage units being deployed across the country for utility, military, and commercial energy projects. Tesla is quietly building the backbone of America’s grid-storage infrastructure while everyone’s distracted by culture-war bullshit — but it is the actual story worth paying attention to. No secret technology. No hidden invention. Just the most boring, most profitable, and arguably most important thing Tesla does — hidden in plain sight.

ELON MUSK: "You should be able to have a Starlink, like you have an AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon or whatever, you could have an account with Starlink that works with your Starlink antenna at home with free Wi-Fi as well as on your phone. We're not going to put the other carriers out of business. They're still going to be around because they own a lot of spectrum. It will allow SpaceX to deliver high bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites to the phones, but there are hardware changes that need to happen in the phone. You should be able to watch videos anywhere on your phone."

🚨‼️ BREAKING: The threat actor who breached Novo Nordisk, the company behind Ozempic, has leaked 264 GB of data. They are also mocking Novo Nordisk, claiming the company was using passwords like "novo123" for critical systems and that its security team sucks. The breach includes source code, proprietary information on both marketed and pipeline drugs, clinical trial records, data on employees, doctors, and patients, and manufacturing details. The threat actor also claims it obtained private internal AI models from Novo's systems. They allegedly breached Novo in March via a GitHub access token that let it clone the company's repositories and find additional credentials. The intrusion ran for over two months and yielded roughly 1.3 terabytes across more than 700,000 files.
