Big Tech companies who illegally spied on Americans for Obama & Biden side w/ #Anthropic, named a 'supply chain risk' by DOD after Anthropic disallowed the Pentagon use of its software for entirely legal surveillance of dangerous groups. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Grok 4 is at the point where it essentially never gets math/physics exam questions wrong, unless they are skillfully adversarial. It can identify errors or ambiguities in questions, then fix the error in the question or answer each variant of an ambiguous question.
Deedy@deedydas

Insane that Elon Musk has pulled it off again, absolutely crushing the AI wars with Grok 4. Summarizing the core announcements: — Post-training RL spend == pretraining spend — $3/M input told, $15/M output toks, 256k context, price 2x beyond 128k — #1 on Humanity’s Last Exam (general hard problems) 44.4%, #2 is 26.9% — #1 on GPQA (hard graduate problems) 88.9%. #2 is 86.4% — #1 on AIME 2025 (Math) 100%, #2 is 98.4% — #1 on Harvard MIT Math 96.7%, #2 is 82.5% — #1 on USAMO25 (Math) 61.9%, #2 is 49.4% — #1 on ARC-AGI-2 (easy for humans, hard for AI) 15.9%, #2 is 8.6% — #1 on LiveCodeBench (Jan-May) 79.4%, #2 is 75.8% Grok 4 is “potentially better than PhD level in every subject no exception”.. and it’s pretty cheap. Massive moment in the AI wars and Elon has come to play.

Thank you, @MarshaBlackburn, for promoting competition and innovation by sponsoring the Open App Markets Act. Also, thanks for acknowledging @CASE_forAmerica in your news release announcing the legislation. blackburn.senate.gov/2025/6/technol…
Sen. Marsha Blackburn@MarshaBlackburn

Big Tech giants have forced American consumers to use their app stores at the expense of innovative startups that threaten their bottom line. Today, @SenBlumenthal and I filed the Open App Markets Act to promote competition and protect consumers within the app market.

At the very least, can we agree on NOT having online privacy legislation written with the "help" of Facebook? Or do people so quickly forget that when govt and Facebook team up together really, really bad stuff happens to our freedoms? 🤔
CASE@CASE_forAmerica

These bills have been introduced in over a dozen other states, including OH, SC, and TX. Policymakers in those states should know that these bills don’t solve the problem. They help bad actors to rewrite the rules in their favor.

PAUSE 🚨: What’s going on in LA?? Big Tech is pushing lawmakers to pass so-called “age verification” legislation they claim will protect kids online. What they won’t tell you is that this bill replaces parents with government mandates and exposes kids to corporate surveillance. #lagov #laleg
CASE@CASE_forAmerica

Age verification bills like HB570 in LA undermine parents’ rights in favor of government mandates and corporate control. Concerningly, HB570 sponsor Kim Carver thinks the government knows best when it comes to parenting. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

The company that effectively controls all search traffic on the internet openly chooses sides -- does anyone believe @Google will give opponents of Roe equal access to online speech and commerce? 🤔

This has long been the model on Big Tech "innovation" - just steal the strokes of genius from small startups and pass them off as your own and watch the competition shrivel on the vine. medium.com/swlh/apple-jus…

Biden's "Minister of Truth's" Twitter account still includes 100% false tweet regarding Hunter Biden's laptop. The .@nypost was censored for posting true information, but debunked lies are still A-OK.
