🚨🇺🇸 Plane Approaches Presidential Plane, Pilot Told to "Put Down iPad" Imagine if you were on a plane and suddenly told the pilot to turn immediately because you were flying too close to the President's plane? A Spirit Airlines flight bound for Boston had a close call with Air Force One while flying over New York City. The air traffic controller was no joke. "Spirit 1300, turn right 20 degrees. Spirit 1300, turn right 20 degrees. Now. Spirit 1300, turn right 20 degrees. Immediately. Attention. Put down the iPad." It turned out that the Spirit Airlines plane was only 8 miles from Air Force One, which at 30,000 feet is incredibly close. By comparison, it's like two school buses suddenly swerving into the same lane on the highway. Luckily, the Spirit plane managed to turn in time and landed safely in Boston. The airline said the pilots followed procedures strictly and that safety was always their top priority. However, this proximity to the president's plane was no accident. Flights around Air Force One are typically tightly controlled, and such close encounters are extremely rare. Source: @EricLDaugh, Fox News

Hollywood Studios Accuse Chinese AI App of Character Theft Disney, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Discovery Channel are suing Chinese AI company MiniMax, alleging it is using their well-known characters without permission. MiniMax's "Conch" app allows users to enter a prompt to receive a replica of Darth Vader, Minions, or Wonder Woman branded with the company's branding. Hollywood Studios says MiniMax has ignored their warnings and profited from misappropriation, even advertising itself as "Hollywood in your pocket." They hope the court will halt the service, forcing MiniMax to forgo profits and setting an example for Hollywood in fighting back against AI theft. Source: Reuters

Want to reverse aging? AI cracks the code. Scientists can now rewind human cells to a 20-year-old: brain, heart, skin, all reset to optimal condition. The secret? This discovery, which won the 2012 Nobel Prize, was powered by OpenAI's protein-designing AI. In just one week, a single lab successfully reversed aging in 30% of the cells of a 50-year-old. Forget uploading your mind; AI may eventually make us eternally youthful. Source: Kallaway's Instagram

What if reality isn't real... until you observe it? In quantum physics, a particle can be in every possible state simultaneously, until you observe it. The moment you observe? Boom! One result appears. The rest vanish, as if they never existed. This is called the observer effect, and yes, it means that your attention really does help shape physical reality. Too hard to understand? Step away from philosophy; everything there might be just a figment of your imagination. Source: manifesto_rituals_ on Instagram

World War III will begin in space. "Golden Dome" is a new defense system designed to intercept missiles reaching the United States, launched from deep space. Imagine hundreds of satellites acting as a global missile warning system, detecting missile launches the instant they occur, even from the other side of the globe. The craziest part? Laser-equipped space weapons could blast missiles out of existence like implanting a device in Superman's retina. Forget fighter jets; the next world war will be more like Star Wars than trench warfare. Source: aitelly3d's Instagram

Dad's home. On Friday night, I'll stay up late working with the Optimus Engineering team, then rush to Austin overnight, arriving at 5 a.m., getting up to have lunch with the kids, and then spending all Saturday afternoon deep in the technical review of Tesla's AI5 chip design. On Monday, I'll fly to Colossus II, tour the entire data center, review the transformers and power production (which is going well), and then leave at midnight. Then, all Tesla departments will hold a 12-hour back-to-back meeting focused on AI/Autopilot, Optimus production plans, and vehicle production/delivery.
