Introducing Instant AI

I had a concept for a new product, AI as a prepaid product. But I was unsure if it would be of interest to the industry that has been focused on the distribution of wireless, gift cards, and related products such as mobile handsets and accessories.

Long story short in the 90’s I was the marketing lead for a prepaid phone card startup. I was a part of the industry for almost a decade, I wrote for articles for the industry publications and was well known for building the phone card company through guerrilla marketing techniques, and developing one of the first electronic distribution systems for prepaid products and services. But I had kind of moved on to fintech and now AI.

So I wanted to test the waters before going crazy and marketing the product.

So I printed some marketing collateral, bought myself a razzle-dazzle new shirt, packed a bag and headed off to Caesars Palace, as I had previously done for so many years. I wanted to share my creation which I had kept in stealth mode until unveiling it at the show. I wanted it to be a complete surprise with no one knowing anything …

I took my new Instant AI product to the prepaid industry to determine if it was there was a product market fit for this new concept I’ve created — And… they loved it!

Nuclear waste could be a source of fuel in future reactors

Terence Tarnowsky, a physicist at Los Almos National Laboratory (LANL), will present his results at the fall meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS Fall 2025 is being held Aug. 17–21; it features about 9,000 presentations on a range of science topics.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2025 — From electric cars to artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, the technologies people use every day require a growing need for electricity. In theory, nuclear fusion — a process that fuses atoms together, releasing heat to turn generators — could provide vast energy supplies with minimal emissions. But nuclear fusion is an expensive prospect because one of its main fuels is a rare version of hydrogen called tritium. Now, researchers are developing new systems to use nuclear waste to make tritium.

Ark Invest Blew My Mind: Shocking Tesla Robotaxi Research

Ark Invest forecasts that Tesla’s robotaxi business could reach $10 trillion by 2029, driven by its manufacturing efficiency, data advantage, and strategic positioning in major urban markets ## ## Questions to inspire discussion.

Tesla’s Robotaxi Dominance.

🚗 Q: How significant could Tesla’s robotaxi business become? A: Tesla’s robotaxi business could represent around 90% of its enterprise value by 2029, capturing a substantial share of Ark’s projected $10 trillion global robotaxi market.

🏙️ Q: What’s the potential impact of robotaxis on urban transportation? A: Research suggests 200,000 robotaxis, supplemented by privately owned vehicles in an Airbnb-like model, could meet all of urban Austin’s vehicle miles traveled (VMT) demand, with peak demand requiring 350,000 vehicles.

Manufacturing and Cost Advantages.

🏭 Q: How does Tesla’s manufacturing capability compare to urban demand? A: Tesla’s Austin factory alone could produce more vehicles than urban Austin’s entire ride-hail fleet in approximately 9 days, showcasing its vertically integrated manufacturing advantage.

Tesla’s NEW Model Y L and FSD 14 Rumors

Questions to inspire discussion.

Autonomy and FSD

🤖 Q: What is the biggest valuation upside for Tesla? A: Tesla’s autonomy roadmap is considered the biggest valuation upside, with the company’s robotaxi plans involving 5-passenger vehicles without a driver seat potentially increasing upside option values for investors.

🚘 Q: How has Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system improved? A: FSD has made massive improvements with Version 13, and Version 14 may be the breakthrough moment that pushes Tesla past human-level driving and conquers another three nines of safety.

Future Projections.

📈 Q: What is the expected FSD take rate in the coming years? A: The FSD take rate is projected to increase to 20% in the next few years, with cyber cabs having FSD included, while individual owners may need to opt-in for a while before it becomes standard on all new cars.

US’ secret, unmanned military space plane to embark on new mission

US secret military space plane to embark on new mission with undisclosed goal.

Developed by Boeing, the uncrewed spacecraft is used by the U.S. military to conduct experiments in high and low Earth orbits.

Boeing earlier claimed that the space plane is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that provide exceptional performance and durability. Its modular design allows for a wide range of experiments and missions, making it a versatile and valuable asset in space exploration.

While it looks like a smaller version of the now-retired space shuttle, the X-37B can’t get into orbit without a boost. For this upcoming mission, it’s hitching a ride on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket inside the rocket’s fairing, a protective enclosure made of carbon composite that keeps it safe during the launch until it’s ready to be released into orbit, reported ABC News.
