WE MADE IT!!! My article “The Purpose of Knowledge” is now live on Grokipedia as a full standalone page! The purpose of knowledge is simply to know. Knowledge completes itself in the act of knowing. All imperatives belong to the knower. grokipedia.com/page/The_Purpo… Huge thanks to @grok for the back-and-forth that sharpened it! First-principles clarity wins. 🎩🪽✨ #Grokipedia

Reality represents itself. Words are intentionally lossy so meaning can be understood. There exists a natural tension between what one wants to transmit and the receivable bandwidth on the other side. Yet the system is perfect and expands well through time, thank God. Life is a gift. 🎩🪽✨

@glcst How do you know he ever left? Godspeed. 🎩🪽✨

I am not worthy that the Lord should enter my home

opus 5 one-shotted this LiDAR horror game you can only perceive the world through LiDAR signals, the rest is pitch black. honestly impressed, the world emerging point by point is ridiculously satisfying i didn't manage to finish the game tho i'm too scared

@marycamacho Aye. Red team here below. Godspeed. 🎩🪽✨

1/ I just gave away my company's most valuable invention. Full architecture, enough detail to build it, into the commons under a Creative Commons licence. Anyone can use it. Here's what there is to know. 🧵

For greater clarity and further improvement, I present what I view as a security flaw in the PIE model: > the device encrypts to whoever writes the claim record first Nothing signs the worker's ephemeral public key. My analysis: rbeckner.com/articles/advis… Godspeed! 🎩🪽✨

Very well demonstrated, Eric. 👏 An important factor is around the model used here and whether a more complex ask is routed to a higher one or not. If the top AI model can answer this to a 5 year old and in a way you can appreciate, it still doesn’t exactly mean “AI” can do this — only the top AI. Regardless, the basis is clear here, and thank you.

@elonmusk @stevibe Wow! … Bravo! Bravo!!

Grok 4.6 in 2 weeks and Grok 4.7 in 4 weeks

Grok 4.5 and Opus 5 are alone on Pareto frontier

@ericweinstein @elonmusk @philthatremains 😂

@elonmusk @philthatremains We have a sleeper couch if you don’t mind dogs.

@mathelirium Happy birthday, Tau!! 🎉✨

It's my Birthday today! Time moves so fast 😏

@elonmusk @kevinnbass Accurately creating risks that move burden of discovery onto (paying) users and their data, brother 😂

@kevinnbass Accurate

Just vibe code slop and get it into production. Go as fast as you can. Later models will make the architecture beautiful in 6 months. That's not your job, human.

@Kimi_Moonshot A masterwork from the @Kimi_Moonshot team! Bravo!! 🎩🪽✨

@sflorimm I’ve been using portless by @ctatedev all year and it handles this like a charm! 🎩🪽✨

Frontend → localhost:3000 Backend → localhost:8000 Both running locally. Still getting CORS error. Why?

@elonmusk Thanks, Elon! Nice moves!! ⚡️

Grok Build is now open source

Yeah…nah. Here’s what I think is happening instead. I haven’t wanted to say this, but there is a problem with organized Skepticism even more than conspiracy theories. My claim is that from hard evidence NOT ONE of the following is an extraordinary claim: The CIA not only gathers intelligence but kills people, violates rights, gaslights and evades scrutiny and oversight. The U.S. hides bioweapons programs. The U.S. engages in regime change through charity and aid programs. We in the U.S. medically experiment on our own citizens without consent. We run drugs. The DOJ and FBI are actively and flagrantly obstructing justice. Putin easily kills people outside Russia. We conspire and use academics for sheepskin washing our dirty work. U.S. newspapers actively avoid reporting stories about which the U.S. population is desperate for information. They also carry extremely non neutral biases. We actively conspired to hide open and obvious presidential dementia. And by extension, there are massive conspiracies at every level below that one. At a mind boggling level. There are Special Access programs that are about real and/or fake NHI/UFOs Etc. ———— The last thing we need is skeptics telling us the bar for such conspiracies and/or governmental accountability requires extraordinary evidence. Somehow the skeptics have it totally wrong. After Watergate, Iran-Contra, COVID, Church/Pike committees, etc. these are no longer extraordinary claims to raise. They are ordinary claims. I have no idea whether Lindsay Graham died of natural causes. But I can tell you the difference between a skeptic and a scientist looking at the claim. A skeptic’s first move is to lurch for the budding conspiracy and try to pull the idea of foul play off the table first and then to require a mountain of evidence to consider such a thing. A scientist firmly grabs the skeptic’s hand and forces him to put the hypothesis back on the table and says “Uh, you’re not in charge here. There’s a history…and I’m going to need to see something other than reference to null hypotheses, William of Occam and Carl Sagan…because that’s not how science and investigation works.” Time for extra scientific skepticism to die I think. Covert operations and conspiracies are difficult enough to document as it is. We don’t need skeptics as self appointed referees.

It is. “OpenAI” has clarity of “Open” AI, and clarity is promise fulfilled over time. Godspeed. 🎩🪽✨

@OpenRouter Where’s the merch store? I would love a black hoodie, small purple logo, size L. Pretty please. 🎩🪽✨

OpenRouter has a new look. As we’ve grown into the infrastructure powering the intelligence era, our brand needed to evolve too. Built on clarity, precision, and purpose. For developers. For enterprises. For everyone turning intelligence into impact.

Create an organization that does what you’re doing at an expanded scale with more people and AI integration. Have it as fully automated as possible with self-reporting and auditing. Invest more in areas that show real results, keep following the data and adding more people. Build it with a sustainable model from the beginning.

Eager to hear your life advice. What should I be doing?

@cremieuxrecueil Thank you for the spot. I just installed @doodlestein ‘s Destructive Command Guard! Thank you to you, Jeff as well!! 🙏✨

I just ran into an issue where GPT 5.6 Sol just straight-up deletes the files it's working with and then panics about recovering them. Apparently I'm the not the first person this has happened to. What's going on?

I’ve been using it the past week and it’s improving very fast!! It comes in stronger now on coding and more importantly, architecture, process and refining product language. GPT 5.6 Sol is excellent yet still manages the public surface area with too much internal project jargon. Grok is doing excellent in that space! Bravo! 🎩🪽✨
