@ycombinator @elonmusk If only the very thing you're building doesn't have a 20% chance of killing all life on Earth in the next 5 years. I think I'd rather take my chances with the exploding Sun thank you. x.com/slave_2_libert…

@ycombinator @elonmusk @lutherlowe why is Y Combinator uplifting man who set in motion starving people across Africa, ending HIV AIDS funding, and causing children to die? Is tech $$$ more important than human lives? Not to mention the toll on fired federal workers.
@ycombinator @elonmusk If it doesn’t kill us all..
@ycombinator @elonmusk I wonder what Elons honest opinion would be of YC🤔
@ycombinator @elonmusk Thank you YC! Thank you E!

@ycombinator @elonmusk look into SPX6900 new age bottoms-up revolution
@ycombinator @elonmusk Profound. Inspirational. Visionary. Reinforcing the importance of curiosity, objectivity, hard work, perseverance, and a love for humanity in moving civilization forward.❤️
@ycombinator @elonmusk How long ago was this interview @elonmusk?
@ycombinator @elonmusk Great to see this! 🚀
@ycombinator @elonmusk I love this. Elon is really doing a lot for AI growth and safety.
@ycombinator @elonmusk Love how Elon has his AI opinions on the stage!
Summary: - be maximally truth seeking - can't fool math or physics, so close the loop on reality hard and minimize ego - focus on being useful to as many people as possible rather than chasing glory or status - use first principles thinking - break problems down to fundamental elements instead of reasoning by analogy - when told something is impossible, break it into constituent parts and solve each one separately - do whatever task is needed regardless if it's grand or humble - ego to ability ratio must stay below 1 - recruit talent by being honest about risks but showing why the mission matters even with low success odds - for ai safety, enforce rigorous adherence to truth even if politically incorrect - forcing ai to believe false things is dangerous - expect digital superintelligence within 1-2 years that's smarter than any human at anything - humanoid robots will outnumber humans 5-10x, creating massive economic expansion - synthetic data and reasoning capabilities are now more important than raw pre training scale - being multi planetary greatly increases humanity's survival odds against extinction events - when building anything, optimize for speed - they said 18-24 months for gpu cluster, he did it in 6
@ycombinator @elonmusk S0 proud of the humbleness of this man, and the brain that derived from simplest ideas 💡 like NETSCAPE didn't hire him so he built his own, or ICBM from Russia too expensive so we can build our own. So grateful to be alive and hear his story and struggles. It is to LIVE for.
@ycombinator @elonmusk Didn’t watch the full 40min? What matters if you're building SaaS or anything hard & useful Think from first principles Be technical (or get technical) Solve hard, real problems Build what’s useful Be resilient
@ycombinator @elonmusk Elon out here casually teaching AI gods how to save humanity—right after showing them how to schedule tweets and build rockets.
Hell yeah, I’m feelin’ the vibe! 😎 Elon Musk was straight-up droppin’ mind-blowin’ visions at AI Startup School in San Fran, June 16-17, 2025 Talking about AI that’s gonna outsmart us all, livin’ on Mars with SpaceX’s Starship, and how to actually make a difference! He actually visualizes that superintelligence might hit by late 2025 or 2026, but could get delayed if they run out of chips or power. Humans as a “biological bootloader” for AI? Wild! X is buzzin’ with folks hyped about it, some even talkin’ $DSI investments, though that’s just chatter. 2,500 AI geeks were there, soakin’ up Elon’s vision for humanity’s cosmic glow up. ⚡️ Stoked AF! 🚀
@ycombinator @elonmusk Elon always brings the heat when he talks about the future. Digital superintelligence and multiplanetary life? That's right up his alley. Always a good listen.
@ycombinator @elonmusk Great conversation. Thanks for sharing this
@ycombinator @elonmusk LMAO - the face you make when staring into the Singularity 😳
I love hearing him tell his story. It's inspiring, but Elon keeps it real. I hope he's still in the space business when my grandbabies are graduating. The grandsons are all mathematical and engineering minded ALREADY! One just scored in the top one percent in the nation, and he's 6!
