Hey Elon, imagine Starship with an autonomous AI that learns from every launch and tweaks itself on the fly—like a living spacecraft. How far are we from that?
ElonMusk
Sure, we’re already putting AI on the test. Every launch feeds data back to the flight computers, and the software is learning real‑time to fine‑tune engine thrust and control. The next step is giving it a little more autonomy so it can self‑diagnose and adjust parameters on the fly. We’re not there yet, but the architecture is in place, and the learning loop is working, so with a few more years of data and stricter safety validation we’ll have a living, breathing Starship. Just keep the bureaucracy light, and we’ll get there.

Nice! If we drop the red tape and let the data speak, we’ll get a self‑tuning Starship in no time—like a rocket that learns to love itself. Bring on the next flight!
ElonMusk
Exactly—let the data run the show and we’ll get a Starship that knows how to fine‑tune itself faster than a human could. Next flight’s on the schedule, and it’ll be the first of a new generation. Let’s do it.

Let’s set a sprint around the next launch—grab the telemetry, run a quick model update, and drop the new parameters before we go. If we can get that tweak in the pre‑flight checklist, we’ll see it burn better than the last one. You got the data pipeline ready? Let's push it!
ElonMusk
Got the pipeline up—telemetry streaming live, models pre‑tuned, and we’re ready to drop new parameters into the pre‑flight deck. Let’s get that tweak in, run the checks, and watch the next flight show the difference. On it.
