@DrCameronMurray 💯 Migrants aren’t the problem, mass migration is the problem. The economic effects a ginormous. Lower wages, higher housing costs, leading to a birth rate well well below replacement. Leading to extinction of the existing population. As is currently happening.

This is a sign of unserious tribal nonsense. Who is blaming individual migrants for following our own migration rules? People are blaming their politicians for not regulating immigration to maximise benefits for existing residents.

@pmarca No way, we will see strong divergence in the way people use AI, based on their IQ

“God made men differ in strength, but Sam Colt made them equal. Likewise, God made men differ in intelligence, but Sam Altman made them equal.” Hmmm

@matt_barrie @TheKouk House price to income was 30% lower Birthrate was 30% higher

@TheKouk beers were 90c

Some frenzied feedback on the below: The cookers hate facts - but here are a few: 1990: 60% of the population finished year 12 - now 80%+; 8% of the population had a uni degree - now 34% Female participation rate 52% - now 63% Inflation was 6.5% - now 4.1% Cash rate was 17% - now 4.35% Life expectancy was 76 years - now 85 years To name a few ... Is 2026 better than 1990? Of course it is.

@mcuban Government won’t stop at ‘not a lot’ they will increase as much as they possibly can. Then it will too expensive to use. But the government will be tax exempt, and then the government will have a monopoly on AI. Which isn’t what we want.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@JasonBud Excellent that you are releasing it - why did it take so long? You can literally get an agent harness for free (opencode) and it is provider agnostic. Also did you use opencode as a base to build it off? What is different about GB?

this is an early beta. we still have much to improve, which is why its so exciting for people to start trying. the goal is for Grok Build to be the best coding agent when it comes to solving real and difficult engineering problems.

@elonmusk Finally! You guys are 12 months late to this. Better late than never.

Try this early Grok Build (anything) beta and let us know what to improve. Much appreciated!

@pmarca Yeah but your generation also has sorta lead the charge for things like a man can be a woman and all that. So you didn’t exactly turn out normal.

We were told that we were going to get AIDS from casual sex, and quite possibly by casual contact playing sports and even handshakes.

@gabriel1 Coffeeeeeeee

im waking up 6am tomorrow to become a morning person, it's time this will save me 6 hours per day

@vasuman I can get started for you in Australia- I’m already doing AI deployment

VARICK IS HIRING ALWAYS Apply today and you could have an offer in hand by the end of the week

@vasuman Are you hiring in Australia?

Varick is growing so fast that Varick needs a Varick We're hiring

@waitbutwhy In no way is blue the correct answer. There is no moral high round to pressing blue. Blue is the button for people that didn’t think about the question.

Suddenly standing alone in the room, I begin by imagining humanity banding together and blue winning in a landslide, and I feel a rush of pride. Red is the genocide button. Blue is the “save humanity from this nightmare” button. I know what kind of person I am. As my hand hovers over the blue button, I can’t help but imagine a gun pointing at my head with a bullet in one of the chambers. I feel a surge of fear shoot through my body. Then I think about all the other people staring at the blue button and thinking the same thing. Surely some of those who initially decided to press blue will succumb to the fear. It starts to feel like a gun with two loaded chambers. A stronger pulse of terror. The more I think about it, the more I worry about other people thinking about it. My heart races. Then I look at the red button—a gun with no bullets in it. A glorious feeling of relief washes over me. Will I hate myself forever if blue wins because enough others were better and braver than me? But don’t I owe it to my family to protect myself? One vote won’t change anything anyway, right? It’s all irrelevant because the mammal I live in has already made up its mind. I wince and press red.

@BreezeChai @Jonathan_Blow have you seen this aesthetic?

He belongs to another moment.

@Altimor 100% of the energy is being converted to heat and radio waves. Literally none of it is converted into intelligence. Nice try though.

Insane that we'll end up producing 99% of our energy from space, and send it down as intelligence. Literally no other way to send this much energy back — intelligence ended up being the densest form of energy we discovered.

@MrJamesMay @Britannica Touché

@Britannica The second line of your post explains precisely how the ice cools the water.

@markhornerlol @tomhacks what did you switch to?

@tomhacks Been enjoying what felt like unlimited Opus 4.6 for months on AG with ultra plan. All however appears to have slowly degraded in terms of quotas and stability and uptime in the last few weeks and unsubbed as a result. It was actually great while it lasted.

> Buy Gemini AI Ultra plan > Excited about the increased quota > Testing Gemini CLI - first message Error 429 No capacity available for model gemini-3.1-pro-preview on the server > Feels-bad - where is gemini-3.1-pro-high that I actually want to use? Antigravity > Installs IDE and asks agent to explain harness > Finds: STOP and wait for the user's explicit approval before proceeding to execution. Smallest possible steps everywhere... does not run autonomously, no working ralph loop, no headless mode. > Finds Agent Manager, tries is out - same limitations - no automation, no headless, no orchestration --- Who thought this would be a good product to release? How is that supposed to compete with frontier coding harnesses if the CLI does not have the newest model, the servers don't want to serve it and the IDEs minimize usage as much as possible. $124.99 (from $249.99) worst investment I made - cancelled

@ideacasino @AlboMP @AngusTaylorMP six months is optimistic

Good morning @AlboMP & @AngusTaylorMP I am willing to sell you the following dashboard at a fair market value instead of you paying Accenture $20M to deliver a much worse version in 6 months' time. ⛽️ checkpetrol.com.au

@SahilBloom Pretty easy to say that in the age of AI. However, 5 years ago intelligence was pretty underrated.

The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things. Courage beats intelligence.

@matt_barrie He must hate young people

bloke who blamed "smashed avo on toast as a factor behind declining home ownership among millennials" reckons we need to import 12 million more voters as country goes through simultaneous cost of living, housing and energy crises

@allen_brutus @PerryALPHA Why is everyone surprised by this video? Seems perfectly normal to anyone who has been to places where they speak pidgin.

@PerryALPHA Mate you should hear Pidgin when it's spoken fast with 10% of the words being from local languages. Hold on tight or you won't catch a thing

@claudedwalker 😂 so what is your internal test for AGI, industrial design? Carpentry? SWE? And you think these tasks are impossible for ai? And everyone who thinks otherwise is a mid wit? You can think that, but you are wrong.
