Cursor offers a transformative coding experience in two ways:
Accelerated Development: Type just a few letters, and watch Cursor complete entire algorithms, functions, and boilerplate code seamlessly.
Agent-Driven Development: Simply prompt Cursor in plain English (or any natural language), and it instantly translates your instructions into code—you command, Cursor codes.
This isn’t about skipping learning to code because AI can do it for you.
Quite the opposite.
The real message here is clear: Get your hands on this future-proof coding tool now AND learn to code. Mastering coding skills enhanced by AI is the only viable path to excel in both corporate and research environments.
Pro Tip: Cursor automatically selects the best AI model for the given task. However, FYI, the current top AI models for coding are GEMINI 2.5 by Google, Claude Sonnet 3.7 by Anthropic, and o4-mini by OpenAI.
The most impressive part is the technique employed by the Tesla team for accelerating the robot’s dexterity: the robot physically learns from human actions.
Now, let’s step back and analyse Tesla’s master plan here:
(Putting on my business tech strategy goggles)
1. Tesla builds electric cars augmented with software programmability.
2. Tesla provides an electric grid as a service.
3. Tesla builds gigafactories that maximize the automation of car manufacturing. Almost every single part of the pipeline is robotized and optimized for speed of production.
4. Tesla builds Powerwalls (by providing energy storage, it also creates a decentralized power station network).
5. Tesla brings autonomous driving (FSD) to Tesla cars. Essentially, cars are now transportation robots governed by the most advanced AI fleet management system.
8. Tesla launches Optimus, which aims to replace the human workforce in factories and warehouses.
9. X.ai, which has recently raised $6 billion, X’s supposedly “child” AI company, brings the Grok AI model trained on X/Twitter data. While you may say X data is not the best, X has a algorithm balanced with human judgment (community notes), AND the company regroups the largest set of news publishing companies. Basically, it automates curation and accuracy.
10. A version of the Grok AI model will likely power Optimus’s human-to-robot conversational interface.
11. Tesla cars will be turned into robotaxis, disrupting not only taxi companies but also Uber (the Uber/Tesla partnership may not be a coincidence), and eating into the shares of Lyft and BlaBlaCar.
12. Tesla will enter the general services business, and retail industries to offer multi-purpose usage robots – cleaning services for business offices, grocery stores, filling the workforce shortage in the catering (hotel-restaurant-bar…) industry, etc.
Tesla is not the only one moving in the “Robot Fleet Management” business. Chinese companies like BYD (EV) offer strong competition, and there are several robot startups (like Boston Dynamics and Agility Robotics) racing for the pole position.
