Legalize personalized education

Even this alone makes @DOGE worth it

May Starship have the Mandate of Heaven

May @elonmusk succeed in his Bearly legal mandates 😅

So beautiful

The European Union has delayed a vote on Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) to December at the earliest (from October 6th), according to an agenda published on the EU’s website. Agenda for the October meeting:

Age of major AI companies: • Google DeepMind: 16 years • OpenAI: 10 years • Scale AI: 10 years • Hugging Face: 10 years • Runway: 8 years • Stability AI: 6 years • Anthropic: 5 years • Midjourney: 5 years • Character. AI: 4 years • ElevenLabs: 4 years • Perplexity: 4 years • SpaceXAI: 3 years SpaceXAI is one of the youngest companies here, yet it is already building frontier models, massive AI infrastructure and competing with companies that had nearly a decade-long head start. What Elon Musk and the SpaceXAI team have achieved in such a short time is remarkable. Grok is only getting started.

It’s over for SpaceXAI. In 2-3 months Anthropic and OpenAI will have something even better.

1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months. 2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster! 3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron. Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence. Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones – they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons. Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist. After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers – including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament – believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence. New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today? worksinprogress.co/issue/wea…

Major historic changes are primarily driven by technology

grok 4.7 was the biggest fumble even elon admits it and feel like they rushed model release cuz of pressure from openai and anthropic and ended up getting mogged by chinese and free models but i still have high hopes for grok 4.8 though, it might bring grok back to it's glory we should be getting it in about a month from now on so let's see what elon cooks will keep you guys update if there’s any news on model

Elon is fast

We’ve reached a point in AI development where I find myself choosing an inferior model inside of a far better product over a better model inside of a shittier product. All models have gotten good enough to handle the majority of things the average person wants to do with them. All criticism from here is really relative. Grok 4.7 is amazing in absolute terms, it’s just not great relative to recent shipments from competitors. But Grok Bot is still the main product I want to use in my everyday AI life

Grok will improve rapidly
