Elon Musk has put new, specific locations to his staggering production ambitions for the Optimus humanoid robot, identifying Fremont, California, as the site for the project's first high-volume manufacturing line.

In recent comments, the Tesla CEO stated the company is "starting with building a million unit production line in Fremont." He immediately followed this by outlining the next step: "And then a 10 million unit per year production line here on the gig," presumably referring to Giga Texas, where the remarks were made.

Musk's projections escalated from there, suggesting future lines could reach 100 million or "maybe even a billion a year," half-jokingly noting, "I don't know where we're going to put the 100 million unit production line. Maybe on Mars."

He explicitly tied this unprecedented scale to radical, utopian societal change. "People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care," Musk said. "Well, there's actually only one way to do that. And that's with the Optimus Robot."

Here is his remarks yesterday about the Tesla bot, AI, and his brand new AI chip.

He wants to build 10M bots a year, maybe even up to 1B.

He also talks about solar. FSD.

Brookfield Corporation(NYSE: BN) believes AI could become the most impactful general-purpose technology in human history. However, there's a caveat. The technology will require a massive buildout of physical infrastructure to support its adoption. The global investment firm expects total spending on AI-related infrastructure will top $7 trillion over the next decade.

 

The company is at the forefront of capitalizing on this once-in-a-generation opportunity to build out the digital backbone infrastructure of the future. It's launching a $100 billion AI infrastructure program to support the needs of the AI industry. It counts semiconductor giant Nvidia(NASDAQ: NVDA) among its founding investors in this initiative.

A relief rally swept across Asian markets and lifted stocks in early trading on Thursday as investors cheered Nvidia’s market-topping earnings, while the dollar rose as traders braced for the release of delayed jobs data. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.6%, rebounding from a one-month low, after Nvidia forecast quarterly revenue well above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday. CEO Jensen Huang touted blockbuster demand for its AI chips from giant cloud providers and shrugged off concerns about an AI bubble.

Space is the answer, because we simply can’t generate enough power on earth to run all the data centres. This video explains:

I would like  to see how it handles making an application that doesn't presently exist. Still, It's an incredible time saver even if it is just pulling together opens source modules. It reduces labor big time.

Dear administrator,

We’re writing to let you know that starting February 9, 2026, Gmail emoji reactions will be enabled by default for all existing and new customers.

We’ve provided additional information below to guide you through this update.

What this means for your organization

Key changes:

The Gmail emoji reactions feature will be turned on for all customers by default, unless admins in the organization have previously changed the feature setting or updated the setting before February 9, 2026.

Potential impact:

Gmail emoji reactions let you react to Gmail messages on the web, Android, and iOS. The feature was previously launched to Google Workspace customers in an opt-in phase effective April 2025 (with the default admin setting disabled), and has been available for free Gmail accounts since 2023.

Note that in some cases users cannot react with emojis, for example:

• Email thread contains a Google Group
• User is blind carbon copied (BCC’d)
• Email is client-side encrypted

For more information on the feature, review the Reply to emails with emoji reactions help center article.

What you need to do

Action advised:

• If you want users in your organization to use emoji reactions, there’s no action required from you since the feature will be enabled by default starting February 9, 2026
• If you want to disable emoji reactions for your organization, you can disable the feature for either the whole organization or specific users or user groups by completing the following steps:
  • Go to the Google Admin console and find this setting: Gmail > End User Access > Emoji reactions
  • Make sure the setting is unchecked and then click Save

For more information, review the Manage Gmail settings for your users help center article.

Thanks for choosing Google Workspace.

– The Google Workspace Team

I installed Sora on my tablet yesterday. What the heck is this madness?

Thanks for saying again that you can not assume that all information that you get on the internet or in the media is always correct. 

 

The more important the issue the greater the need to check your sources  and the information that they provided.

[dasmo]

Learn to discern information from fiction or opinion. That is the most important thing you can do. Checking the source isn't confirming it's your trusted advertising outlet. It is going to the source of the information that provided the seed to the story. Is it a law? A comment? A video? Go and read or see the source information if it concerns you. 

 

Most of the time, it takes some effort because articles don't typically provide links to source information. This is what you can use AI for. It can search the entire net in an instant and provide the source. You can ask it to summarize the source.  Better odds that it is more informative than a narrative crafting news article. This is how to use a robot. Just asking a question like it already has all the answers will elicit an authoritative response that sounds good.

^ correct. I use AI lots lately.

[Blair M.]

Unfortunately, most users see A.I. as a godsend, and trust it as a source.

I see A.I. as a plague, to be religiously ignored, and then eradicated. 

 

The above doesn't mean A.I. is never "right" - it often is quite right.

When the folks who feed it are right, then A.I. can be right.

When the folks who (intentionally or unintentionally) feed A.I. are wrong, then A.I. is indeed very, very wrong.
