#BREAKING: @elonmusk and Tucker Carlson on the dangers of AI - ongoing interview

(LIVE thread) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Musk says he's worried a hyper-intelligent AI could use Twitter to "manipulate public opinion a way that is very bad"

@elonmusk

Top tech minds called @elonmusk a "speciesist" when he expressed his concerns around AI risks to humanity.

A speciesis "is the human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior" 🤦‍♂️😂

@elonmusk

@elonmusk #LIVE: Google co-founder Larry Page once told Musk he wants to build a "Digital God" using A.I.

Musk: "What's happening is that they're training the AI to lie" and to withhold information. /5

Musk: "The smartest creatures on this earth are humans. It is our defining characteristic. Now what happens when something vastly smarter than the smartest person comes along in silicon form. It's very difficult to predict what will happen in that circumstance." /6

Musk on Twitter: At the end of the day, if the public finds Twitter to be useful they will use it more, if they find it to be not useful they will use it less.

Based on the growth metrics we're seeing, it seems the vote is YES for more and more people 😎 /7

@elonmusk

#LIVE: @elonmusk talking about creating ThruthGPT: "I will try to create a third option, and that third option, hopefully, does more good than harm." /8

@elonmusk

@elonmusk Musk: "I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted for Biden. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate."

"I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person for president."

Not sure how people can call @elonmusk a conservative... /9

@elonmusk

@elonmusk LIVE: @elonmusk shocked by the unfettered access Gov agencies had to everything on Twitter, including people's DMs.

Scary shit...

For anyone who was keeping up with the #TwitterFiles, this should not come as a surprise.

The good news: Encrypted msgs are coming to Twitter! /10

twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Musk: The goal of Twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible, not favoring any ideology

Tucker: Why doesn't Facebook do this?

Musk: Zuckerberg spent $400m in the last election in support of the Democrats, is that accurate?

Tucker: Yes that's accurate

Musk: Does that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Musk reduced the Twitter staff size by 80%

Tucker: "How do you run a company with only 20% of the staff?

Musk: It turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. /12

Love him or hate him, he knows how to run a business. I'm inspired to start cutting my own… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

My thoughts on the interview: I'm always the one trying to keep my opinions balanced, never kissing up to Elon and even being critical in many instances. However it's difficult to disagree with much of what is said today.

Here's a very basic summary of the key points and my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This week in AI was Insane

OpenAI, Grok, Google, Nvidia, Claude, Amazon — all dropped massive updates.

Here’s the rapid-fire roundup you don’t want to miss: 👇

1. OpenAI has released GPT-Image-1 to developers through its API, allowing third-party apps to use ChatGPT’s popular image generation feature.

This model, which handles both text and images, powers the image creation tool that launched in ChatGPT in late March.

In its first week, users made over 700 million images with it.

2. xAI introduces Grok Studio with long-term memory

Grok Studio comes with a split-screen setup where you can create documents, apps, or games.

It also remembers your past chats, making it smarter over time.

🧵🇺🇸 ELON’S DOGE IS HUNGRY FOR BUREAUCRACY — AND WASHINGTON’S FEELING THE BITE

@DOGE, Elon’s latest mission to fix what’s broken in D.C., just dropped a week of bold, flashy moves.

Less bloated bureaucracy, more sharp scissors.

Here’s what they pulled off this week — whether you love it, hate it, or just want to understand what the heck’s going on: 🧵👇

1. THE CREDIT CARD CRACKDOWN

Ever wonder how many credit cards the government has?

Try 4.6 million. And nearly 50,000 of them were just sitting there, unused.

DOGE shut down 48,000 P-cards (Government Purchasing Cards) this week — part of a $30 billion chunk of spending.

They say it’s a push to streamline the $40B annual spend machine.

2. NIH GRANTS GET THE AXE

DOGE told the NIH to cancel 7 grants — including $532K for testosterone tests on mice and $33K for rat-based hormone therapy studies.

Earlier cuts included $699K on cannabis research in LGBTQ+ communities and $620K on teen pregnancy studies.

The message is clear, and good to hear: no more government cash for niche science experiments.

Google just made your dream dev assistant real.

They recently released Firebase Studio — an AI tool that can build and ship entire applications from a simple idea.

This isn’t just a code generator…
It’s a full-stack app builder powered by AI.

Here’s what you need to know: 🧵

1. Firebase Studio is a new cloud-based development platform made for building AI-powered apps. It brings everything you need into one place — from writing and testing your code to deploying and running apps in production.

It’s designed to save you time, reduce complexity, and help you create high-quality AI applications faster than ever. Whether you're just starting or scaling up, Firebase Studio makes the entire process smoother with built-in tools and automation.

2. Quickly Build AI Apps with Firebase Studio

Firebase Studio makes it easy to start building AI apps using simple prompts, images, or even sketches. Just use the App Prototyping agent to create working web app prototypes (starting with Next.js) in seconds.

When you click “Prototype this app,” it instantly creates a functional Next.js web app — not just the UI, but also the backend setup.

It also connects everything with Genkit and gives you a Gemini API key, so your AI features work right away without any extra setup.

This week in AI was absolutely WILD. 🤯

Insane updates from:
🧠 OpenAI
🔍 Google
🧠 Claude
📱 Meta
…and more.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇

1. OpenAI is giving college students in the US and Canada free access to ChatGPT Plus until the end of May.

This $20/month plan includes advanced tools like GPT-4o (its most powerful AI model), image creation, voice features, and better research support — all for free during final exam season. The move is seen as part of OpenAI’s push to compete with rivals like Anthropic in the education space.

2. Google introduces CURIE, a new benchmark to test how well AI can handle scientific tasks.

CURIE stands for long-Context Understanding, Reasoning, and Information Extraction. It's designed to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) can solve complex scientific problems and support researchers in real-world scientific work.

🇺🇸 WORLD LEADERS RESPOND TO TRUMP’S NEW TRADE WAR — THREAD🧵

Trump’s aggressive new tariffs—hitting cars, steel, tech, and more—are sparking fierce global backlash.

With duties reaching as high as 50%, allies are furious, rivals are retaliating, and markets are rattled.

From China to India to Australia, here’s how world leaders are reacting—some are fighting back, others are pleading for diplomacy.

Let’s break it down country by country 👇

1. 🇨🇳 CHINA

Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce:

“We strongly oppose the U.S. tariffs.

If the U.S. insists, China will fight until the end.”

Trump is now threatening 104% tariffs on Chinese imports starting tonight—one of the largest escalations in modern trade history.

2. 🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION

Ursula von der Leyen:

“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.

We are also prepared to respond through countermeasures and defend our interests.”

Trump’s new tariffs on EU industrial goods reach up to 35%, with Brussels warning of retaliation if talks fail.

What if AI didn’t just answer your homework but taught you how to think?

Anthropic’s new "Claude for Education" is here to flip the script on AI in classrooms. This isn’t about cheating—it’s about learning smarter.

Let’s break it down in this thread 🧵👇

1. First up: the star of the show—Learning Mode.

Instead of spitting out answers, Claude asks you questions like “How would you solve this?” or “What’s your evidence?”

It’s like having a Socratic tutor in your pocket, pushing critical thinking over rote responses.

2. Imagine tackling calculus or drafting a thesis.

Claude doesn’t just solve it for you—it guides you step-by-step, reinforcing concepts.

Early tests show it’s already helping students at Northeastern, LSE, and Champlain College.

50,000+ users at Northeastern alone—wild.
