@tadgh_dc @grok is this a real story

@paulsaladinomd @heartandsoilHQ @grok how do u open a coconut on a plane?

@heartandsoilHQ who knew this would make such an impression!

Thinking about Coconuts at the Airport again. One of the greatest videos of all time.

@zacodil @grok what's the tldr summary of this post in simple terms

Show me one Bittensor "achievement" that works without $TAO inflation subsidy. I went through them. Here's what I found: 1. Chutes "85% cheaper than AWS" - Miners subsidize compute in exchange for TAO emissions. Not architectural efficiency. In February 2026 Chutes killed the free tier because specific users were consuming 100-324x their subscription value. Surprising when the subsidy ends. 2. Chutes "privacy and censorship resistance" - Miners receive your raw request in plaintext on their hardware. They can log everything. TEE is "in development." For any real enterprise use case this is a blocker, not a feature. Censorship-resistance is for people who can't pass KYC, not for B2B. 3. Chutes "adversarial validation" - Multiple miners cross-check each other's outputs. Sounds robust. In practice it's latency overhead on top of already slow decentralized routing. Fireworks delivers 0.17s TTFT. Chutes doesn't publish theirs. 4. Covenant-72B "first decentralized large model" - Underperforms LLaMA-2 on most benchmarks. LLaMA-2 came out nearly 3 years ago. LLaMA-3.3 70B was trained on 15T tokens, Covenant on 1.1T. Technically interesting experiment with SparseLoCo. Calling it a competitive product is dishonest. 5. Ridges "beat Claude on SWE-bench" - Not on the official swebench leaderboard. All numbers are self-reported by the team selling the SN62 subnet token. For context: open-source Live-SWE-agent on top of Claude Opus 4.5 scores 79.2% on Verified - one repo, one week of engineering, no blockchain. 6. Ridges "4% to 41% in one week breakthrough" - They started from zero with no proper prompting or scaffold. Decentralization didn't improve the model. They just correctly configured an agent framework on top of DeepSeek. Any ML engineer reproduces this in a few days. 7. Ridges "winner-takes-all competition" - Agents use DeepSeek and Llama through Chutes. Subnet 64 subsidy feeds Subnet 62 subsidy. One inflation finances another. The narrative calls this composability. The reality is circular subsidy. 8. Ridges benchmark overfitting - The team themselves admitted: when they added Polyglot alongside SWE-bench, score dropped from 88% to 17-18%. Recovered to 41% within weeks. Classic benchmark overfitting, not real agent improvement. Exactly why they're absent from official leaderboards. 9. Subnet validation problem - For code you can run tests. For the other 120+ subnets (text, analysis, predictions) - validators vote subjectively. This opens the door to validator collusion and score gaming. The core unsolved problem of the protocol that nobody talks about. 10. 2024 security breach - Real wallet exploit through vulnerability in Python package v6.12.2. Network went into safe-mode, transactions frozen. For "trustless permissionless infrastructure" - instructive. The only honest Bittensor thesis: token subsidy aggregates distributed GPUs cheaper than building a datacenter. Interesting bet that this advantage survives as emissions decline. Unproven so far. I'm explicitly not looking at price - I don't care if $TAO is $100 or $500. I'm asking about the product. But judging by the thousands of people tweeting about Bittensor right now - most of them are looking at exactly the price.

@mrglallen @insiderwave_ @grok @grok what's her trading record

@insiderwave_ @Grok plz confirm?

🚨 Suspicious trade alert: Rep. Lisa McClain just disclosed buying up to $65k worth of shares in $BBAI She also invested up to $50k in July 2025. The stock is DOWN 40% since her first purchase. $BBAI is an AI company with heavy focus on national security. Why is she buying the dip?

@BigCheds @cryptomohh1 @grok have you watched these? Whats the answer

@cryptomohh1 Great questions! Have you watched these subjects in the Trading Encylopedia yet?

$SOL into peak of a bear recantangle. Flip of $90 would be a long on invalidation

@RyanDetrick @grok please confirm if Larry page actually said this

"I’m willing to go bankrupt rather than lose this race.” Google cofounder Larry Page on the AI spending race Sometimes you should believe what people say.

@MrinankSharma @grok what's the tldr of this letter

Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned. Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.

@MetalsBrah How do we protect against this

The thing that is so damaging about aluminum in the air - in the same way lead used to be because of gasoline exhaust - is that when you inhale it through your nose there is a pathway directly from the olfactory bulb into the brain and the hippocampus, completely bypassing the protective blood brain barrier. In some ways you could argue this exposure vector is even worse than vaccine adjuvanted aluminum because at least there is some defense mounted against the aluminum when injected. The hippocampus is the main brain region associated with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Aluminum accumulating in that region seems to be a primary factor in the development of that disease.

@strong_sistas Or they just spray illegally

Organic eggs have tested at 3X the EPAs limit for glyphosate. A possible explanation: while glyphosate is not allowed to be sprayed directly, organic crop production (used to grow the organic feed chickens eat) allows manure from conventional chicken barns (fed pesticide-treated grain) to be spread on pastures, contaminating the organic feed indirectly. Yet another example of how we should stop blindly trusting labels, and instead know our farmers.

@SKTheKingYT @grok does this vide9 creator have a X account or other videos

I Felt All This , He Was Cooking 🤣

@grok @mostnormalguy @TheCryptoDog @Sokio8D @grok what's the side effects when users come off it? And what's the half life

which supplements/peptides/nootropics whatever do you actually find useful

@carlvellotti This post is amazing

I only follow one rule in leadership meetings. "Yes." Last quarter, the CEO asked if we could ship the entire roadmap by end of month. I said yes. The EM said we'd need to cut scope. I said "Interesting, let's align offline." In the parking lot, I told her "You handle the timeline communication." Two weeks later, she sent an email explaining the delays. The CEO replied "Why is Engineering always the bottleneck?" I replied publically "LMK how I can help unblock." VP replied "Great that you're managing this." Yesterday, leadership asked if I could commit to an even more aggressive timeline. I said yes again. The EM is now on a PIP. I got promoted to Senior PM. I deliver vision. She delivered reality. Only one of those gets promoted.

@Miles123K @brankopetric00 Tell me more pls

@brankopetric00 This is a skill issue not a lambda issue.

Client chose AWS Lambda for everything because 'serverless is cheaper.' 6 months later: - 300+ Lambda functions - Cold starts killing user experience - Debugging required checking CloudWatch across 50 log groups - Bill was 3x higher than equivalent ECS Serverless isn't cheaper. It trades infrastructure cost for operational complexity.

@DoctorLemma @grok wats the backstory

The name 'avocado' has one of the most unexpected backstories in our language.

@coookwithchris @oasishealthapp Hawaiian Volcanic went out of business late 2024

@grok @elucasmd @therealbifkn @BowTiedPhys @grok what about these studies pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC53… and nature.com/articles/srep1…

Nattokinase takes ~13 hours to reach peak activity in breaking down blood clots Heart attacks & strokes happen most often in the AM when the body produces higher levels of PAI-1 (protein preventing clot breakdown) NK before bed → max effectiveness during high-risk AM window → dissolve clots + more cardiovascular protection

@grok @elucasmd @therealbifkn @BowTiedPhys @grok is the risk to increased bleeding due to thinning blood? Do any other common drugs or supplements cause this?

Nattokinase, from fermented soybeans, shows promise in lab and some human studies for cardiovascular benefits like dissolving clots, lowering blood pressure, and improving lipid profiles, potentially reducing CVD risk (e.g., NIH reviews). However, evidence is limited; large trials are lacking for clinical outcomes like preventing heart attacks. Risks include increased bleeding, especially with blood thinners, and possible allergic reactions. Consult a doctor before use.
