Elon Musk’s 3-hour interview broke the internet. He revealed;

→ Why software devs are "about to have a hard lesson in hardware"
→ next 36 months will create more millionaires than last 36 years.

Here's every prediction you need to see👇
1/ The "Power Wall" - Why AI Is Hitting a Ceiling

The US uses ~500 gigawatts on average.

AI needs a TERAWATT ,that's doubling America's entire electricity output.

"Can you imagine building that many data centers? That many power plants?"

Musk says those in software land are "about to have a hard lesson in hardware."

The bottleneck isn't code. It's physics.
2/ The 30-Month Space Pivot

"Mark my words — in 36 months, probably closer to 30 months, the most economically compelling place to put AI will be space."

No atmosphere. No clouds. No day-night cycle. 5x solar efficiency.

And last week? The FCC accepted SpaceX's application for up to 1 MILLION orbital data center satellites.

This isn't a pitch deck. The paperwork is filed.

China just open-sourced AI that makes $200 cameras outperform $2,000 sensors.

Ant Group dropped:
→ 3.2M training samples
→ Full code + models
→ Fixes depth cameras on glass, mirrors, metal

A $200 consumer camera + free AI now beats $800 pro sensors.

China is giving away the entire robotics stack.

This is infrastructure-level disruption. ⬇️
1. THE PROBLEM AMERICAN ROBOTICS WON'T TALK ABOUT:

Depth cameras fail catastrophically on:

❌ Glass (returns black holes)
❌ Mirrors (sensor gives up)
❌ Shiny metal (complete blindness)

Every Bot demo? Filmed in matte-finish labs with textured objects.

There's a reason you never see them near windows.Image
2. THIS ISN'T AN EDGE CASE.

It's why:

- Warehouse robots avoid reflective packaging
- AR apps glitch on glass tables
- Figure's robot only picks up matte objects
- Your $10M robot fleet stops working when someone installs a glass door

Silicon Valley's answer: "Just buy $5K LiDAR" or "redesign your environment"

China's answer: Fix it with AI and give it away free.

🚨Claude Cowork dropped 7 days ago.

People are already using it to automate jobs that cost $100K/year.

Here are 6 wild examples 🧵👇
1/ User handed Claude Cowork their finances, business planning, and content drafts.

It handled execution end-to-end, saving hours of work and significant cost.

This is less “assistant” and more operational partner.
2/ Claude Cowork was asked to analyze 320 episodes of Lenny’s Podcast and extract:

→ The 10 most important lessons for product builders
→ The 10 most counterintuitive truths

The task was completed in minutes

LEGO quietly unveiled one of its most important innovations in decades at CES 2026.

They didn’t add screens, nor did they add an app.

They made the brick itself smart.
2/ The Smart Brick matches the dimensions of a standard 2×4 LEGO brick while integrating:

• Motion and orientation sensors
• Light and sound responsiveness
• An internal speaker
• A custom low-power chip engineered to fit within the classic LEGO form factor Image
3/ What distinguishes this approach is that interaction

Does not depend on screens, mobile apps, or external controllers.

The system responds purely to physical inputs such as movement, positioning, proximity, and the way bricks are assembled.

STOP TELLING CHATGPT TO "MAKE IT SOUND LIKE HUMAN"

Bad prompt = Bad result.

Use these prompts in Chatgpt 5.2 instead and see the magic:
1/ Human Expertise Mode

"Answer my question like a real human expert with 10+ years of real-life experience in this Held. Avoid textbook explanations. Give < lived-experience insights, mistakes, human nuance, and practical examples. My question: [insert question]."
2/ Emotionally Aware Human Response

"I want you to answer this like a human who deeply understands emotions, struggle, motivation, and context. Speak naturally, explain your reasoning, and respond in a supportive and relatable tone. My question: [insert question]."
