See SpaceX’s new Starship fire up in these stunning engine test photos

Monday’s test firing of Ship 25 seems to have gone resoundingly well. On Tuesday afternoon (June 27), SpaceX tweeted images from the previous day’s proceedings, and they highlight the sheer power generated by Starship’s engines. The smoke and dust from ignition managed to stay low enough to the ground, and diffuse enough, for Starship to remain perfectly in frame, engine fire imparting an orange glow to the black tiles of the vehicle’s heat shield.

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk also tweeted an image from the static-fire test early on Tuesday morning. This one, from an upward perspective, shows the extreme bright light emanating from the flames, with Starship centered in the shine.

Japan’s military is testing Elon Musk’s Starlink for potential adoption

The technology may be acquired by the Ministry of Defense in the next fiscal year.

If all goes well, the organization may adopt the technology next fiscal year.


Reuters reported on Sunday that Japan’s military is testing Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service according to the Yomiuri newspaper that cited unnamed government sources.

Japan’s Ministry of Defense already has access to communication satellites in geostationary orbit but lacks access to the devices in low Earth orbit which Starlink would provide, the Yomiuri said.

Musk outlines major upgrades for Starship rocket

SpaceX will need another six weeks or so to finish implementing hundreds of changes to its Super Heavy-Starship rocket and the gargantuan booster’s Texas launch pad before it will be ready for a second attempt to reach orbit, company founder Elon Musk said Saturday.

That’s assuming Federal Aviation Administration clearance to fly in the wake of the Super Heavy’s dramatic maiden launch April 20 in which the rocket blew itself up after multiple engine failures and the Starship upper stage’s failure to separate from the first stage booster.

In a Twitter Spaces discussion with author Ashlee Vance, Musk said SpaceX is implementing “well over a thousand” changes,” and “I think the probability of this next flight working, getting to orbit, is much higher than the last one. Maybe it’s like 60 percent. It depends on how well we do at stage separation.”

Elon Musk’s INSANE New TruthGPT STUNS The Entire AI Industry! | ChatGPT Competitor?

Prepare to have your mind blown by Elon Musk’s latest creation: TruthGPT! In this ground-breaking video, we delve into the mind-boggling potential of an AI-powered language model, which has sent shockwaves throughout the AI industry.

TruthGPT is Elon Musk’s idea, a highly advanced and groundbreaking language model that aspires to push the veracity and accuracy of AI-generated material to the forefront. It is intended to address the misinformation, fake news, and biassed narratives that afflict our digital environment. Musk’s goal with TruthGPT is to construct an AI that can present information objectively, factually, and without personal prejudice.

TruthGPT has sent shockwaves through the AI sector with its unmatched capabilities. It has astounded industry experts, researchers, and even competitors. This YouTube video analyses the AI community’s emotions and responses, demonstrating the disbelief and excitement sparked by Elon Musk’s latest creation.

You may be asking, as a ChatGPT user, if TruthGPT is a direct rival to this popular language paradigm. While both models aim to generate human-like prose, their approaches differ. ChatGPT is intended to engage in interactive conversations by giving a variety of responses and information depending on its training data. TruthGPT, on the other hand, places a strong emphasis on assuring accuracy, fact-checking, and unbiased information distribution.

TruthGPT’s implications are enormous and far-reaching. It has enormous potential to change how we consume and engage with AI-generated information. This YouTube video investigates the potential influence of TruthGPT on news organisations, social media platforms, research institutions, and society in general.

Join us as we investigate Elon Musk’s INSANE new brainchild, TruthGPT, and see the incredible discoveries that are altering the AI field. Prepare to be astounded by the ramifications and possibilities of this game-changing technology!

Tesla hacker discovers secret “Elon Mode” for hands-free Full Self-Driving

A Tesla software hacker has found an ‘Elon Mode’ driving feature that seems to allow Tesla vehicles with Full Self-Driving to operate without any driver monitoring.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk might have his very own supersecret driver mode that enables hands-free driving in Tesla vehicles.

The hidden feature, aptly named “Elon Mode,” was discovered by a Tesla software hacker known online as @greentheonly. The anonymous hacker has dug deep into the vehicle code for years and uncovered things like how Tesla can lock you out of using your power seats or the center camera in the Model 3 before it was officially activated.

After finding and enabling Elon Mode, greentheonly ventured out to test the system… More.


Elon Musk might be driving FSD hands-free.

ChatGPT — A Human Upgrade Or Future Malaise?

Elon Musk is exploring the possibility of upgrading the human brain to allow humans to compete with sentient AI through ‘a brain computer interface’ created by his company Neuralink. “I created [Neuralink] specifically to address the AI symbiosis problem, which I think is an existential threat,” says Musk.

While Neuralink has just received FDA approval to start clinical trials in humans (intended to empower those with paralysis), only time will tell whether this technology will succeed in augmenting human intelligence as Musk first intended. But the use of AI to augment human intelligence brings up some interesting ethical questions as to which tools are acceptable (a subject to be discussed… More.


Chat GPT may have an effect on critical thinking. Also early adopters may be at an advantage with GPT. Study with students.
