Elon’s predicts AI Edge Node devices will replace cellphones, apps and operating systems. Yes, Elon said he is not working the AI phone. He is working on the AI that makes the phone irrelevant. He is working on edge node chips (AI5). AI Phone like functions go into teslabot and other new devices. Value is in the AI. Smartphones will evolve into lightweight AI inference nodes. Basic screens/audio interfaces with onboard AI serves up AI results from server-side AI like Grok or GPT. AI-Centric to deliver everything (communication, entertainment, productivity). This would be like a trusted Jarvis AI from Iron Man. This ties into Tesla’s AI5/AI6 chips (2027+), Starlink for delivery, and xAI for central intelligence. Elon’s Ecosystem Edge: Musk’s integrated stack (Starlink, xAI, Tesla/Optimus/RoboTaxi, X payments, Neuralink) gives him a massive lead. Brian Wang co-wrote a new AI book – Google, Palantir etc, we’re funded by spook agencies after their first attempt at collecting everyone’s data failed. Admiral Poindexter, convicted for his role in Iran-Contra, was tasked with creating such a program. The program, TIA total information awareness, was shot down by public outrage over anything so intrusive. So, those agencies funded the development of private companies who’d do the deed for commercial purposes. Now, all the data that the spooks want access to, they simply purchase from those entities. Or, use secret supeanas with directions that the company can’t notify the individual of their data’s transfer. And you know that every data point collected by home robots will go back to Musk for, “Training and optimization” purposes. Zebras evolved to make the Lions job tougher by their numbers and pattern, but now the Lion has infinite eyes, and sees every zebra in the herd. Individually.
