Former X Staff Reveals Elon Musk Works 17 Hours a Day in 'No-Rest' Schedule

Elon Musk recently acknowledged on X that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has not attracted interest from other automakers, despite his offer to license the technology for a fee. This admission highlights a lack of confidence from competitors in Tesla's self-driving capabilities.

Redwood Materials, a battery recycling and cathode production company founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, has reportedly reduced its workforce by 5% following a $350 million funding round. The company is now utilizing recycled battery materials to develop energy storage solutions specifically for AI data centers.

X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has introduced a new feature called 'About this account' that reveals the country of origin for user profiles, enhancing transparency about user locations. This initiative aims to clarify the origins of accounts, particularly those labeled as 'US,' which may actually be operated from abroad.

Andrej Karpathy, former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, created a 'vibe code project' over the weekend, allowing multiple AI assistants to collaboratively read and critique a book, ultimately synthesizing a final answer under a designated 'Chairman.' The project, named LLM Council, was shared on GitHub with a disclaimer about its ephemeral nature.

Andrej Karpathy, a former researcher at OpenAI and executive at Tesla, has declared that the effort to control AI-generated homework has been lost, urging educational institutions to cease their attempts to police it. He emphasizes the futility of trying to regulate AI's influence on academic work, suggesting a need for a paradigm shift in how education approaches technology.

A recent study introduced a computational Turing test designed to evaluate the realism of text generated by large language models (LLMs) compared to human language. This framework combines aggregate metrics and interpretable linguistic features to assess how closely LLMs can mimic human language in various datasets.

Tesla's recent claim of impending approval for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode by a Dutch regulator has been contradicted by the regulator itself, indicating that the software may not receive the anticipated endorsement in the European Union. This development raises questions about Tesla's compliance with EU regulations regarding autonomous driving technology.

X has introduced a new feature that displays the country of origin for user accounts, revealing that many accounts claiming to be based in the U.S. are actually operated from abroad. This move has sparked scrutiny, particularly regarding political accounts associated with the MAGA movement, as online sleuths have identified discrepancies in their claimed locations.
