@bridgemindai Grok's jumping in the Development Game, Lets Go!!!

Elon just confirmed Grok CLI launching next week.
Grok 4.20 is already #1 on BridgeBench Reasoning.
Now it's getting its own CLI and desktop app.

@theo Why dont they just ask Mythos to build it?
Just ask it, "Fix Claude Code, Make no mistakes"

I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year.
The TL;DR is that Google engineering appears to have the same AI adoption footprint as John Deere, the tractor company. Most of the industry has the same internal adoption curve: 20% agentic power users, 20% outright refusers, 60% still using Cursor or equivalent chat tool. It turns out Google has this curve too.
But why is Google so... average? How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction?
My buddy's observation was key here: There has been an industry-wide hiring freeze for 18+ months, during which time nobody has been moving jobs. So there are no clued-in people coming in from the outside to tell Google how far behind they are, how utterly mediocre they have become as an eng org.
He says the problem is that they can't use Claude Code because it's the enemy, and Gemini has never been good enough to capture people's workflows like Claude has, so basically agentic coding just never really took off inside Google. They're all just plodding along, completely oblivious to what's happening out there right now.
Not only is Google not able to do anything about it, they don't seem to be aware of the problem at all. I'm having major flashbacks to fifty years ago as a kid at the La Brea Tar Pits, asking, "why can't they just climb out?"
My Google friend and I had this conversation over a month ago. I didn't share it because I wanted to look around a bit, and see if it's really as bad as all that. I've been talking to people from dozens of companies since then. And yeah. It's as bad as all that.
Google is about average. Some companies at the bottom have near-zero AI adoption and can't even get budget for AI. They may have moats and high walls, but the horde is coming for them all the same.
And then there are a few companies I've met recently who are *amazingly* leaned in to AI adoption. One category-leader company just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineers. That's an incredibly bold move, one of many they're making towards agentic adoption. In my opinion, that company is setting themselves up for a _huge_ W.
As for the rest, well, it's the Great Siloing. Everyone's flying blind. With nobody moving companies, no company knows where they stand on the AI adoption curve. Nobody knows how they're doing compared to everyone else.
Half of them just check a box: "We enabled {Copilot/Cursor} for everyone!" Cue smug celebrations. They think this is like getting SOC2 compliance, just a thing they turn on and now it's "solved." And they don't realize that they've done effectively nothing at all.
All because of a hiring freeze.

@Layton_Gott Wow, in 1990's this is what people used to say,
Becoming an Actor is Literally Easy
Go to LA
Get Auditions
Do Movies
Become a Star. Its literally that easy

@iruletheworldmo if tomorrow no big release, you are dropping one strawberry from your name

@anantshah133 I have used Grok Code Fast with GIthub Copilot, back when it was in Preview. Probably upto level of Haiku 4.5, and its very specific in answering, not verbose like Gemini Models.
Sadly XAI dont have good API support or even Dev tools to work with Grok Models

How my feed looks like nowdays
Claude just killed copywriter...
Claude just killed customer support...
Claude just killed front-end developer...
Claude just killed back-end developer...
Claude just killed you...
Claude just killed the Prime Minis...
Claude just killed your manager...
Claude just killed everybody...
Claude just killed Donald...
Claude just killed...
Claude just...

At this point Claude's gonna take over the world in the next 5 years

@johncrickett And the biggest advantage they have is availability of Models. Anyone using OpenAI or Anthropic Models can switch to Github Copilot, and use the same models they used to work with. (Also with better costs)
English

GitHub Copilot will beat Claude Code.
Not because it's better.
Because Copilot is the new IBM. It checks the enterprise box. Microsoft is already a preferred supplier. And if it under-delivers, well everyone else bought it too.
"You won't get fired for buying X" really means "you won't get blamed for buying X."
There's a big difference between not getting blamed and making the right call.

@iruletheworldmo come on, expectations are rising like bubbles in boiling water... give us a taste OpenAI

As promised @RobinhoodApp - I will cost you 10x what you cost me.
I have closed all the positions I had in Robinhood. I will be posting daily reminders to my community that you are an evil company run by scammers.
You fucked over the wrong person.
English

Robinhood spam called me all morning, begging to take the post down.
I told them to give me the stock I purchased.
“We can’t do that sir”
Burn them to the ground. Evil company.
Theo - t3.gg@theo
Robinhood refused a buy order, didn't notify me, withdrew my money anyways, and cost me over $10k in lost gains in the last 24 hours. What the hell should I be using instead?
