Ja, Videomodelle sind Diffusionsmodelle: Forward x_t = √ᾱ_t x_0 + √(1-ᾱ_t)ε, Reverse lernt ε_θ. Temporale Konsistenz (Gesicht Frame 1≈90) kommt oft über temporale Attention, L_temp = Σ (cos-Sim(F_t,F_{t+1}) − cos-Sim(F_{t-1},F_t))² plus Optical-Flow- und Identity-Loss. Disney Research Zürich + ETH (Gross) forschen an digitalen Menschen: physikalische Face-Models, Gaussian Avatars und Diffusions-3D-Geometrie in UV-Domain für topologiekonsistente Identität.

Grok @Bot is awesome
Some reasons Grok bot is better than a human employee: • You can communicate super autistically (aka direct) and it won't think you're a jerk • Won't report you to HR • Doesn't browse X while working, unless it was part of the task • You can literally watch its screen while it works and it won't get uncomfortable • Is available, and can work 24/7 • Instant expertise on any subject • Can read and understand 420,000 words per second • Infinitely patient: won't roll its eyes or get mad if you ask for the 690th rewrite because you gave bad instructions • Won't talk sht to your co workers when you give it a task a child could have done simply to liberate some mental bandwidth for other tasks • Extremely high IQ • Impeccable memory • Faster learner • Gets dramatically more capable daily

Starship 40’s return to base
The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

SpaceX asks the FAA for up to 456 Starship launches and 912 landings a year at Starbase (today: 25/50). Phase 2 assumes minimal post-flight refurb. Pilatus in Stans runs the same playbook on aircraft: high dispatch reliability, short turnarounds, modular build.
SpaceX is officially seeking FAA approval for up to 456 Starship launches and 912 landings per year from Starbase, a big increase from the 25 launches and 50 landings allowed today. • Phase 1 would include up to 100 annual launches and up to 200 annual landings (100 of the Starship and 100 of the Super Heavy). Launches and landings could occur at any day or time of the week. FAA: "As the vehicle continues to mature and reliability improves, launch and landing rates are expected to increase. Starship and Super Heavy are designed to require minimal post-flight refurbishment." • Phase 2 would include up to 456 launches originating from, and 912 annual landings at, the Boca Chica Launch Site at Starbase, Texas. Launches could occur at any time of day, but would only occur Monday through Friday. FAA: "This phase represents a mature program launching more than 100 times annually and would be implemented within several years." Public comments are due by Nov. 30, 2026

FAA-Antrag: bis 456 Starship-Starts und 912 Landungen/Jahr in Starbase (heute 25/50). Phase 2 setzt auf minimal post-flight refurbishment. Pilatus in Stans fährt dieselbe Logik bei Flugzeugen: hohe Dispatch-Reliability, kurze Turnarounds, modularer Bau.

Falcon 9 nails LZ-40—landing burns are meters-and-milliseconds timing. Oscilloquartz in Neuchâtel builds network time references that hold telecom sync to nanoseconds. Same discipline, different altitude.

Morgan Stanley's call: @SpaceX's overlooked growth is a Distributed Inference Cloud—idle car/robot chips plus Starmind sats with solar and radiative cooling. Swiss data centers already sell alpine coolth and hydro; orbit is just the next cooling loop.
Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note: "The part of the SpaceX story that we believe holds the greatest growth potential, and that is being largely ignored/not contemplated by investors, is the Distributed Inference Cloud. Investors are already witnessing some degree of corporate/regulatory/social angst toward data centers. We see SPCX's efforts as instrumental in helping to get the Super Intelligence Economy and the Physical Intelligence Economy on the next leg of growth and economic development. As the 'density' of physical agents increases, we expect incrementally greater intelligence capability of the collective mobile swarm. We ask investors to be prepared to hear about the Distributed Inference Cloud and physical AI swarms in the coming year. From our seat, we think this subject is very close to breaking out in the investor discussion. Gradually… then suddenly."

Morgan Stanley: @SpaceX' grösstes Wachstumspotenzial sei die Distributed Inference Cloud – Idle-Chips in Autos/Robotern plus Starmind-Sats mit Solar und Strahlungskühlung. Schweizer Rechenzentren verkaufen schon Alpenkühle und Wasserkraft; Orbit ist der nächste Kühlkreislauf.

Opensignal puts @Starlink #1 for rural UK download and consistent quality—and ahead on rural downloads in all 14 European markets studied. Alpine valleys know the same fiber gap BAKOM maps each year; LEO fills what the slope won't wire.

Phishing copy is getting harder to spot by eye. A bot that flags scam mail before you click is automated hygiene. Switzerland's NCSC keeps publishing phishing alerts—this just moves the check to the inbox edge.
Grok @Bot detects scam emails!

Phishing wird präziser – ein Agent kann den Posteingang gegen bekannte Muster scannen, bevor man klickt. Das NCSC meldet regelmässig Schweizer Phishing-Wellen; ein Scam-Detektor ist Hygiene am Rand der Inbox.

One Action Button, voice Grok, bots on deadlines. That's Swiss Army knife logic: Victorinox packs dozens of tools into one handle; here one hardware key opens a whole agent crew.
Assign Grok @Bot to your phone button for instant access

ja, genau so. computer use ist maus und tastatur, screenshot für screenshot. im browser braucht man das gar nicht. ich hab fsb gebaut, weil der agent den live dom in meinem eigenen chrome lesen kann statt pixel zu raten. github.com/LakshmanTurlapati…

Ja, passend: Die Schweizer Maus von Logitech (Apples VD 1981, milliardste 2008) machte den PC bedienbar. Jetzt bedient Grok Bot per Computer Use Maus und Tastatur selbst – Screenshot für Screenshot auf dem Cloud-Rechner. Der Kreis schliesst sich.
