We’re making interesting progress here.
Digital Optimus can play about halfway through the Diablo campaign so far just by looking at the screen like a human.
Skill at Counter-Strike and other fast games is good too.
League is also in training.
Goal is to generalize across all games.

Even the best models train on a lossy residue of the world. Language is not reality; it is a slow social compression of it. Spoken English carries tens of bits per second of new information, well below a 56k modem. Text is denser but still a thin pipe. Almost everything a nervous system registered never entered the corpus.
Give a model the uncompressed stream—electromagnetic waves and force, not tokens—and the first problem is no longer prediction but what to treat as a unit.
Tokens are an accident of human writing. A mind that saw the raw field would invent its own compression: events, invariants, causal structure, geometries we do not yet name.

1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months.
2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster!
3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship
