Badass
Elon Musk told the world what SpaceX is building next.
A sentient sun.
He wrote it last night, quoting SpaceX's own announcement.
"SpaceX has ordered 100 GW/year of HJT solar manufacturing equipment from Singulus in Germany.
This is for Starmind to create a sentient sun."
One hundred gigawatts a year of solar manufacturing equipment, ordered from Germany, for a factory in Bastrop, Texas.
That is where SpaceX is building the Starmind satellites.
SINGULUS, the German company making the machines, confirmed the first full production line is already under contract, worth more than 60 million euros, and arrives in the first half of 2027. More lines are planned as production scales.
SpaceX has been funding that company since March, and again in October.
They are building the supply chain themselves.
Starmind is SpaceX's name for computers that live in orbit. They catch sunlight up there and send their results back to Earth through Starlink's laser links.
The first satellite, AI1, has a 75 meter wingspan and a compute payload of up to 250 kilowatts.
SpaceX says that in sun-synchronous orbit those satellites capture continuous solar power. No weather, and no loss through the atmosphere. The light just keeps arriving.
Mike Nicolls, SpaceX's senior vice president of Starlink, said why the deal exists:
"Partnering with SINGULUS gives us a high-performance manufacturing path for solar cells for our Starmind satellites at our production facility in Texas."
The sun has been pouring energy into empty space for billions of years.
Elon Musk ordered the equipment to put a mind in that light.
The first line leaves Germany in the first half of 2027.

WOW
Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

Think about this…while the real animals walk free
Russell Brand has a three year old son. He will be ten when his dad comes home.
Think about what he misses. Every birthday from four to ten. The first day of school. Learning to ride a bike. The nights a little kid wakes up scared and wants his dad. His daughters are ten and eight, so they'll be teenagers, almost grown, before he's back in the house. The judge wouldn't even give him bail to say goodbye to his kids.
People forget what a father actually does in those years. A mom is usually the nurturing one. A dad, while still loving, is often the one who draws the line and says no, this is how it's going to be done. Kids need both. That push and pull during the early years shapes who a child becomes. Now all of it falls on his wife, alone. And no matter how badly he wants to be there, he can't. He'll see his kids across a prison visiting table, if their mom can bring them over from Florida.
And all of this is based on what? Stories from 15 to 20 years ago, with no DNA and no CCTV. Even if you believe every word of it, ask whether this is a fair way to run a justice system. Most people would be shocked to learn England has no statute of limitations on these cases at all. An accusation can come 20 years later and still put a man away for a decade. If someone is going to be held accountable, it should happen within a reasonable amount of time, while evidence still exists. Not at any point in a person's entire life.
Ten and a half years. Three kids growing up without their father. I haven't seen evidence that justifies that.
