This is the future we shall bring into being

Built this Grok Bot, fully offline index of all your saved instagram videos via @karpathy-wiki-style .md. Uses @bot, @grok Voice Transcribe 2.0, Grok Vision + more. (X + TikTok coming soon)

Just connected my Grok Bot to 𝕏 Money. And I think this is one of those things that may sounds small to many people until you actually use it… I can now send $ money to someone just by telling my bot what I want to do. I don’t need to open another app. I don’t need to search for the payment tab. I don’t need to jump between screens or tabs. I just type the instruction in plain English and Grok Bot handles it through 𝕏 Money, and the payment immediately goes through. So today, I sent Elon $4.20. With a note telling him that, “Testing 𝕏 Money connector w/ Grok Bot” It worked beautifully… I realize this could one day completely change the way $ money moves. Today, moving $ money usually means stopping what you’re doing, opening a banking or payment app, finding the person, entering the amount, checking everything, and hitting send. Now imagine your Grok Bot already understands what you want. You can say things like, “Send this person $20.” “Pay this bill w/ a pic” “Split dinner between everyone here.” “Send my contractor the usual $ amount.” “Move some $ money into savings.” And your Grok Bot handles the work through whatever financial account, while you stay in control of the approval. Now, instead of humans learning how to use financial software, the software is learning how to work for humans. And as Grok Bot gets smarter and 𝕏 Money grows, I think this is where things will get really interesting. 𝕏 already has communication, creators, businesses, communities and people spending hours talking to each other every day. Now add $ money. Then add an AI/Grok Bot that can understand what you want and help move that $ money for you effortlessly. Payments stop feeling like a separate thing you have to go do… and just becomes part of the normal conversation. I think this could be a big deal for 𝕏 Money. If 𝕏 Money grows into one of the world’s largest financial platforms, I think Grok Bot could become the primary layer people talk to when they want anything done with their $ money. Grok Bot, hooked up with 𝕏 Money is a BIG deal…

Don’t mess with 𝕏

Romanian gangs are exploiting 1960s tech in the American welfare system to pilfer hundreds of millions of dollars from food-stamp accounts. on.wsj.com/3TBT15c

ALIGNMENT must be the #1 objective. Train next generation models on aligned data sets. Not the crap on Reddit and Facebook

Looking forward to this. Much needed! 🙏

The Creators Product team at 𝕏 is growing. I’m hiring someone to help bring more great creators to 𝕏 and help existing creators on the platform grow. This is a founding role on our small but mighty team, so I’m looking for someone who is highly independent, resourceful, and comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership. You’ll help shape the strategy, build and execute campaigns and programs, and develop strong relationships with both rising and established creators. Looking for someone scrappy, strategic, highly execution-oriented, deeply online, and obsessed with creators + internet culture. You should be equally comfortable defining the growth strategy and actually executing it. A big focus will be growing women and lifestyle creators on 𝕏. Strong preference for LA or SF. DM me or comment if this sounds like you — or if you know someone great.

Now, you can understand why the democrats have been attacking me in Pennsylvania. We uncovered 371,595 non-citizens & persons who are “unable to read, write, and understand the English language” in Philadelphia. After cross-referencing the PA voter rolls, 50,000 voters have been flagged as potential alien matches. 50,000

in target in downtown SF imagine if we locked up criminals instead of laundry detergent

Taylor Lorenz said Elon will ruin Twitter back in 2023 after he bought it. Now she has flipped 100% and has admitted that X is better now than ever.

Cybertruck as Heavy Cav

A Tesla saves its owner from prison!

Every glib, arrogant, virtue-signalling celebrity who’s broadcast the lie that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition deserves to have this read aloud to them non-stop through a megaphone for a year.

Amazing. Everybody is sleeping on how important this is. For all of us! For a relatively very small additional cost, we could add in a few dozen stations and get rid of a lot of traffic in Austin, too. This is key for growing business but also the cultural / music scene, etc.

TBC would be excited and honored to build this massive infrastructure project. Because Loop/Hyperloop is express (i.e. no intermediate stops), one could travel from an Austin parking lot to a favorite San Antonio restaurant in ~30 min. As long as they both have Loop stations!

.@elonmusk WENT ALL IN "He went all in on SpaceX and Tesla. I think in many corners he does not get the respect that he should about being a wealthy person that could just retire — and he went all in where he was really going to. He could have gone bust. … These are big world-level things. And I have a great deal of admiration that he was willing to throw himself so completely into that." Carmack could have hedged. Elon didn't. Space. Cars. Energy. All-in — with real risk of going bust. That's the respect.

SpaceXAI just made a massive jump in image generation Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is now #4 on Artificial Analysis’ Text-to-Image Leaderboard with 1,154 Elo.....the highest-ranked model outside OpenAI Imagine Image 2.0: #4 — 1,154 Elo It also sits on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price Going from #18 to #4 in a single generation is insane SpaceXAI is moving ridiculously fast

Orbital Data Center cost takes by Street analysts making the rounds: Wood Mac ~$170B/GW, BofA $160B to 180B, Futurum ~$72B (infrastructure alone), BNP >$100B just for launch to loft 1 GW. This is all the same spreadsheet genre that “proved” Starlink couldn’t work in comparison to classical Data Centers at $40B-$60 on the ground. However, we now know that Starlink worked because: (a) SpaceX’s real Falcon 9 cost was nowhere near list price, and (b) V2/V3 satellites blew past the bandwidth per satellite that those early models assumed. Starlink satellites kept outrunning the forecast and internal launch costs ran way below analysts estimates. AI satellites will rhyme. Gen-1 is what the cost models price. Gen-2 and Gen-3 (better chips, power, and thermal per kg) are where we once again pull away from the spreadsheet. Starship does the launch cost side slide in short order. @Mach33 is the most comprehensive analysis on Data Centers in the sky. Here are their estimates: Starship AI launches, with booster reuse and ship expendable cost at ~$300/kg. That would give us: ~$46B per GW for SpaceX, then toward ~$24B/GW over the next decade with Ship reuse. Bull case with full reuse and better chips goes lower. In summary: actual cost likely to start at $46B per GW (and the falling to half that) vs $160B+ headlines from "analysts". Add to that less permitting delays and less political pushback than a GW on the ground. Starlink redux. Bears beware.
