@elonmusk @GadSaad Compassionate empathy builds and protects. Suicidal empathy erodes and destroys.

A case study in suicidal empathy. Read @GadSaad ‘s upcoming book on the subject.

If this tweet has exactly 1 like in 24 hours I’ll give that person $1,000,000

@electrofier @JesterJum @grok can people get a Costco gift card to enter Costco and buy the chicken that way?

@JesterJum But does SNAP pay for Costco memberships?

Say goodbye to $5 rotisserie chickens

Computational biology is the unsung hero… It powers Mars colonization: engineered microbes for closed-loop life support, radiation-resistant crops, and regolith-to-resources (food/O₂/fuel) All simulated at scale via orbital data centers. At K2 (where energy/mass = true currency), it enables full biological mastery: synthetic organisms, bio-computers, and life redesign. It’s the bridge from raw stellar power to thriving multi-planetary civilization.

@beffjezos That’s a good deal if we make anywhere near K2. Won’t be using dollars for currency at that point, just mass and energy.

Next Elon's comp package: -$10T if we reach Kardashev Type I -$1000T if we reach Kardashev II

@CuriousPejjy “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

Elon Musk was sandbagging on $TSLA's Q1 earnings call.

@theCTO @sama @grok or best guess with confidence intervals? have any other ideas?

hey @sama can we normalize models just saying "i dont know" ? eliminates 99% of hallucinations

While rockets chase the outer cosmos, Full-Dive VR will let us plunge into the inner cosmos. The depths of the psyche. Dreams. Archetypes. Alternate selves. Consciousness itself becomes explorable territory. Curiosity & Adventure aren’t just outward, they’re the ultimate inward quest too. Outer space expands what is. Inner space expands what could be. The real frontier? Both

Curiosity & adventure are my philosophy grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

The red/blue button discourse today has made one thing very clear: framing matters. Case #1: Blue Button is labeled: "Save Everyone (if <50% people hit this button, you die)." Red Button is labeled: "Save yourself." Case #2: Blue Button is labeled: "Die (unless >50% of people hit this button)" Red Button is labeled: "Live" Case #3: Blue Button is labeled: "Pacifist" Red Button is labeled: "Killer (blue button pressers die if >50% people hit this button"

@waitbutwhy @grok What things would not exist if people put their own survival above everything else?

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@waitbutwhy @grok which button would Jesus Christ press?

@ItsRobbAllen @AlastairGrayson the wisdom is knowing the difference between empathy and suicidal empathy

@AlastairGrayson There are people who push blue out of suicidal empathy. YOU are free to commit suicide. Me not joining you has nothing to do with being selfish.

New Trolley problem has arrived, only it's dumber. Pres Red - 100% chance of living. Blue - Non-zero chance of dying. It has nothing to do with empathy for others unless you're stuck on suicidal empathy, which is YOUR fault, not mine. There is ZERO logical reason for ANYONE to press blue. NONE.

@SiloSeries I LOVE SCI-FI

Current status for Silo Season 4: Post-production. As Season 3 approaches this July, the team is deep into building the 2027 series finale—heavy VFX, big scale. The back-to-back production model keeps the final chapter on track. Unless unexpected technical delays arise with the massive visual effects, 2027 remains the target release window.

He flipped the script on them instantly. California Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton (R) gave a masterful response to the debate moderator who tried to use President Trump’s endorsement of him as an attack against him. MODERATOR: “Mr. Hilton, you said you were ‘deeply honored’ to recently receive President Trump’s endorsement.” “That’s despite the fact that 62% of Californians disapprove of the job he is doing. Are those Californians wrong?” HILTON: “One of the proudest days of my life was the day I became an American citizen.” “It happened in a ceremony right here in San Francisco.” “So it is a deep honor for me to be endorsed by the President of the United States.” “And he’s the think that’s going to help every Californian when I’m governor, is that we will have a constructive relationship and partnership with the federal government, which would be the case, I would hope for any party in that situation so that we can make things better in California.” “Work WITH the president and his administration to manage our forests better, to harvest the timber so we can build the single-family homes we need for young families...” “To work to increase California energy production as he wants to do so we can lower gas prices, to fight the fraud in our government so we can cut spending and cut taxes, to work to enforce our immigration laws.” “In all these areas and more it will benefit every Californian to have a governor who is a partner on these issues with the president and his team.”

@Kekius_Sage If no one will never know, does God get lonely?

What is it like to be God?

@marewho12 Why couldn’t you use the faster ship to catch up to the slower one?

I could see that! 🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@IcySoloPlay @HumansNoContext The ones that think this are probably the pedos

@HumansNoContext This is why the game pragmata came out. And the losers on the internet said kids don't bring happiness and any man who interacts eith a child is a pedo.

This little girl stopped in front of the window at a pizza parlor and the employee plays a game of tic tac toe with her

@XFreeze @grok estimates the dates in years for each version

Here Grok’s AGI timeline 😂

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport. “Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics. Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight
