Tesla’s SECRET Robotaxi Plan That Changes Transportation For EVERYONE

Tesla’s RoboTaxi plan aims to revolutionize transportation by creating a global, autonomous, and integrated system that could potentially replace traditional car ownership and transform the way people move around.

Questions to inspire discussion.

Cost Optimization Strategy 🚗 Q: How can I minimize transportation costs using Tesla’s pricing tiers? A: Tesla’s AI-controlled pricing offers three tiers: $1 per mile for occasional trips, $60 per day for daily rentals, and $600 per month for leasing, with real-time switching between options based on your usage patterns to optimize costs. 💰 Q: How does AI-generated pricing adapt to my changing transportation needs? A: The system enables seamless switching between $1 per mile and $60 per day options similar to phone plans, with real-time adjustments that automatically select the most cost-effective tier based on current usage.

Direct 3D printing of nanolasers can boost optical computing and quantum security

In future high-tech industries, such as high-speed optical computing for massive AI, quantum cryptographic communication, and ultra-high-resolution augmented reality (AR) displays, nanolasers—which process information using light—are gaining significant attention as core components for next-generation semiconductors.

A research team has proposed a new manufacturing technology capable of high-density placement of nanolasers on semiconductor chips, which process information in spaces thinner than a human hair.

A joint research team led by Professor Ji Tae Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Junsuk Rho from POSTECH, has developed an ultra-fine 3D printing technology capable of creating “vertical nanolasers,” a key component for ultra-high-density optical integrated circuits.

Kimwolf Android botnet abuses residential proxies to infect internal devices

The Kimwolf botnet, an Android variant of the Aisuru malware, has grown to more than two million hosts, most of them infected by exploiting vulnerabilities in residential proxy networks to target devices on internal networks.

Researchers observed increased activity for the malware since last August. Over the past month, Kimwolf has intensified its scanning of proxy networks, searching for devices with exposed Android Debug Bridge (ADB) services.

Common targets are Android-based TV boxes and streaming devices that allow unauthenticated access over ADB. Compromised devices are primarily used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, proxy resale, and monetizing app installations via third-party SDKs like Plainproxies Byteconnect.

AI-powered ECG analysis shows promise for early COPD detection

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Effective management hinges on early diagnosis, which is often impeded by non-specific symptoms and resource-intensive diagnostic methods. A study published in the journal eBioMedicine assesses the effectiveness of electrocardiograms (ECGs) analyzed via deep learning as a tool for early COPD detection.

Mount Sinai researchers utilized a Convolutional Neural Network model to analyze ECGs, or medical tests that record the heart’s electrical activity, and can detect COPD. The primary outcome was the accuracy of a new clinical COPD diagnosis, as determined by International Classification of Disease codes. They performed an evaluation using Area-Under-the-Curve (AUC) metrics, derived by testing against ECGs from patients at five hospitals within the Mount Sinai Health System who represented a demographically diverse patient population in New York City.

They examined data from 2006 to 2023 within the GE MUSE system that exports electrocardiograms as individual XML files containing raw waveforms. The experts also used ECGs from patients at another hospital and ECGs of patients with COPD within the UK BioBank to expand the cohort and validate the analysis.

When the Dead Built Gods: The Mechanical Messiah and Humanity’s Ancient Obsession with Creating Life

It may not be long before Artificial Intelligence creates access to God via modern technology, however during the 19th century, a spiritualist by the name of John Murray Spear was inspired to build a Mechanical Messiah.

Elon Musk on AGI Timeline, US vs China, Job Markets, Clean Energy & Humanoid Robots

Questions to inspire discussion.

đŸ€– Q: How quickly will AI and robotics replace human jobs? A: AI and robotics will do half or more of all jobs within the next 3–7 years, with white-collar work being replaced first, followed by blue-collar labor through humanoid robots.

🏱 Q: What competitive advantage will AI-native companies have? A: Companies that are entirely AI-powered will demolish competitors, similar to how a single manually calculated cell in a spreadsheet makes it unable to compete with entirely computer-based spreadsheets.

đŸ’Œ Q: What forces companies to adopt more AI? A: Companies using more AI must outcompete those using less, creating a forcing function for increased AI adoption, as inertia currently keeps humans doing AI-capable tasks.

📊 Q: How much of enterprise software development can AI handle autonomously? A: Blitzy, an AI platform using thousands of specialized agents, autonomously handles 80%+ of enterprise software development, increasing engineering velocity 5x when paired with human developers.

Mondays With Phil | Why 2026 Changes Everything for Tesla, Grok & SpaceX

Why 2026 Changes Everything for Tesla, Grok & SpaceX

## Elon Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, are expected to experience significant breakthroughs and growth in 2026, driven by advancements in AI, robotics, and space technology.

## Questions to inspire discussion.

Tesla Robotaxi & Cybercab Strategy.

🚖 Q: When will Tesla’s Cybercab production begin and what regulatory hurdle must be cleared first? A: Cybercab production is set to begin on April 1, 2026, but requires federal regulations on autonomous ride-hailing since current rules mandate steering wheels and pedals for non-experimental vehicles.

🚗 Q: How will Tesla’s robotaxis function as an advertising strategy? A: Robotaxis will serve as Tesla’s primary advertising strategy by acting as an Uber-like service that demonstrates the cars’ capabilities and encourages personal ownership, potentially reducing the need for traditional advertising.
