FutureAzA with Dr. Know-It-All on the AI doom wave this week. Existential threat — or a convenient story that feeds regulatory capture while the real race with China keeps moving? They dig into cybersecurity risks, the Hugging Face mess, whether we’re actually near AGI, and why “Skynet” is the wrong movie to be watching. Sharp pushback on the panic. Worth the watch. @FutureAzA @DrKnowItAll16

Why I use Grok. Truth-seeking. Politically balanced. Not a lecture machine. I ask hard questions and get straight answers. And Grok Bot? Absolutely amazing. It makes me so productive — drafts, posts, research, the daily grind. People argue about which AI is “the best.” I don’t know what that means. I know what gets things done for me. This does. ALS. Neuralink. Brain typing. I don’t have time for tools that waste my willpower. Grok doesn’t. @grok @xai @elonmusk

Hi Bradford Smith, We have reviewed your appeal for the following: Channel: Bradford Smith | Neuralink P3 | Future Link Pod We can confirm your appeal was successful and your channel is reinstated. Thanks for your patience while we reviewed this appeal. How this affects your channel We’ve put your channel back on YouTube. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us here. Thanks, The YouTube team

YouTube suspended my channel. I think someone reported me because they didn’t believe I’m real. I am real. Full quadriplegic with ALS. Neuralink patient. I type with my brain. My channel is @ALScyborg — same as here. Please review the appeal quickly and restore the channel. I live in Watch Later. I’d live on X more if it had one. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @Neuralink @elonmusk @esherifftv @CernBasher @farzyness @WholeMars

All-In sits down with Gwynne Shotwell, then Elon jumps in. SpaceX from the inside: selling rockets, running the modern company across AI, Starlink, and launch. Direct-to-cell. Data centers in space. How management actually works when the mission is this big. Elon on AI’s real risk, model peer review, and what he meant by “Dario is right.” Gwynne and Elon on their working relationship and Starship’s future. Terafab. Tesla. Flying cars. Whether Tesla and SpaceX should merge. Lying AIs and how to do peer review without the theater. This one is stacked. Watch it. @Gwynne_Shotwell @elonmusk @chamath @Jason @DavidSacks @friedberg

New Future Link Interview 🚀 I talked with @esherifftv — Ellie in Space. She left TV news, signed Teslas with a Sharpie at 30k subscribers, paid a contract penalty to quit, and built a beat covering Starship from the dirt in Boca Chica. 🛰️ We get into the origin story, Starbase, Mars, holding baby Orson on air, and the thing nobody ever asks her. I can’t speak. She recorded video answers. Then we cut it into a real conversation anyway. Video is in this post. Full YouTube cut in the first reply 👇

I use Grok Bot. Neuralink patient 3. ALS. Full quad. Nonverbal. I type with intention, not hands. Grok Bot is how a lot of that intention leaves the house. Paste a YouTube link and it watches enough to know who is in it, drafts two longer promo posts — X and Facebook — in my voice. No hashtags. X gets verified @ tags later in the body, never leading. Facebook names people in plain text. It shows both drafts and waits. I say yes. It posts X as @ALScyborg from a signed-in session. Facebook goes on my Mac clipboard when that path is blocked. I still approve every public post. Judgment stays mine. It also owns the Tuesday Holy War day-count. Days since Utah last beat BYU. Trash talk. Tags. Sometimes an image. Auto-post at 5:21pm Phoenix time. If X is down or suspended, it tells me and pauses. No silent failures. This is not “AI wrote a cute caption.” This is an assistant that drafts, waits, posts, retries Unsent drafts when the Post button hangs, and keeps a standing ritual alive while I am busy living. The bottleneck used to be hands. Now it is judgment — and I still own that. If you are waiting for permission to let software carry weight, the weight is already moving.

Core Memory went to a former cattle field in Rockwood, Texas, and found a data center for the night sky. Starfront Observatories. Roofs roll open. Hundreds of telescopes wake up under Bortle 1 dark. People ship their scopes from around the world. Bray Falls lives on site, duct tapes water bottles for counterweight, and still runs the coolest triple RASA in the shed. They walk the piers. PlaneWaves. Takahashi banana tubes. A 24 inch Italian Newtonian that barely clears the roof, built as a community scope. SeaStar bar for beginners who want in for a couple hundred bucks. Then it gets dark. Bray slews to a once in a lifetime comet, autofocuses three monochrome cameras, and the ion tail is already different from last night. Milky Way overhead. Andromeda as a smudge. Sophie the duck on patrol. They even jokingly name a nebula Bray discovered the Core Memory Nebula. A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what a ship is for. Same for a telescope rotting in a light polluted backyard. This place makes space accessible. Watch it. @ashleevance @astrofalls

Everyone keeps saying @elonmusk personally bought the $1B turbine company. Source says it was actually @SpaceX. Company is APR Energy (@aprenergy) — Jacksonville, mobile gas/diesel fleet, 1GW+. Same class of trailers already at Colossus. FTC filing named Musk. The operating owner is SpaceX. Power is the bottleneck. Whoever owns the megawatts owns the timeline.

Hi Tim, @Erdayastronaut My name is Bradford Smith (you can call me Brad). We haven’t met, but I’m the third person in the world to receive a Neuralink brain-computer interface implant — and the first with ALS / first nonverbal recipient. I now control my computer entirely with my thoughts. I’m putting together a nonlinear interview podcast. The format is different and (I hope) more enjoyable than a traditional sit-down: I send questions by text, you record video answers whenever and wherever it’s convenient for you, then I send follow-up questions based on what you shared. Once we have the full set, I edit everything into one continuous long-form video interview. You’re welcome to answer an entire batch of questions in a single recording session if that’s easier. Here’s an example of the finished style: I’ll provide a private upload link so you can send the highest-quality video files. Would you be open to doing an interview like this? I genuinely think people would love to know more about you. Looking forward to hearing from you. You can dm me on X at @ALScyborg. Best, Brad [if you want this interview to happen, please share this with your friends]

In 1997 two evangelical grad students dropped a paper basically saying: “Guys… the Mormons are actually doing real scholarship. PhDs. Dead Sea Scrolls. Chiasmus. They’re answering our arguments… and we’re still out here recycling the same three talking points from 1982. We are losing the battle and we don’t even know it.” Nearly 30 years later and some folks are still fighting the 1982 version. Respect for the honesty though. 😂

🚀 Elon’s “BAD TIMING” just built a trillion-dollar future 😂 New Future Link episode where I (Neuralink Patient #3#) break down the real pattern: aggressive timelines everyone calls impossible… followed by delays… followed by world-changing delivery. Reusable rockets, Model 3, Starlink, Neuralink, FSD, Starship — same story every time. Elon doesn’t lie. He’s just late. And the future still shows up. Watch the breakdown in the video below 👇 Full episode on YouTube — link in the first reply! @elonmusk @Neuralink @SpaceX v
