Are we months away from semantic or symbolic pigeon english that lllms will use to communicate, write code and compress and decompress image and video losslessly? That we can't understand. @grok

@chrysb @openclaw Its just an llm tool box right?

folks who are calling @openclaw pure hype are telling on themselves openclaw is like the early internet, it's raw, unrefined, and takes a little doing to get things to work, but when you figure it out, it's transformative. here are some real use cases that are having material impact on our $2.5M ARR business: 1. ad creative pipeline. our head of growth @ArjunShukl95550 built an end-to-end creative pipeline to go from ideation to publish adds to meta, greatly increasing our creative iteration speed. it's producing winning creatives. it lives in slack, and anyone on the team can share their ideas and have them enter the pipeline. 2. data analytics agent. another bot lives in our slack that connects to bigquery and lets our team ask any questions of the data, it produces charts and answers questions in real time. no one needs to write SQL anymore. 3. recruiting. i told my agent about a role we're hiring for, and it scoured linkedin and the web, found 30 candidates, portfolio, email addresses, and stack ranked them based on fit with our criteria this is just in the past week. i have twenty more success stories for you i can share another time. you have to understand, this is the shittiest it will ever be. everyone is going to have one or more personal self-improving agents that they use every day, and openclaw is what revealed this future to us. if you can't see this, i encourage you to look harder there will be many competitors (and already are), and the large labs will start to converge on this (they already are) too. openclaw may not win, but it opened pandora's box and uncorked the agentic future.

@elonmusk @Kpaxs Guys, do not forget how fundamentally simple LLMs are. Also 600mb is all the info in our DNA. Also i can write a sentence and grok will produce and image that can become a video. We are not far from this being a lossless transformation. Idk I just thought about it.

@Kpaxs I share Demis’s sentiments

This is a man who has been haunted since childhood and built a billion dollar company as a side effect of trying to make the haunting stop.

Grok is a frigging miracle. But it might have modalities Where you can indicate your mood be it money, humor, fun, rave, travel etc. And then chat. For news it seems to default to "rave" which is kinda annoying. I prefer more numbers and analysis and less drama with my news. Just say'n

What’s one thing you wish Grok did better? Drop your honest feedback below.

@theojaffee There are no jobs in sub sahara africa. Its a total disaster.

Negative sentiment toward AI is a luxury belief

@NZNationalParty Are you kidding? This is tone deaf.

It’s part of our plan to help Kiwis get ahead.

@thealepalombo Its a million miles from anywhere, barely visible

Mauritius might be the most underrated "Switzerland" on earth. While everyone's pointing at Singapore, Monaco, Panama, almost nobody talks about this island off the coast of Africa. The key thing most people miss: - Remittance-based tax. Foreign income not brought in = 0% - Pay local expenses with a foreign card? Not deemed remittance - 0% capital gains, 0% inheritance & wealth tax - No local company needed. But if you set one up, foreign income is 80% exempt, effectively 3% - Premium Visa: free, $1,500/mo min. requirement, apply online From someone living there: fantastic weather, peaceful society, good healthcare, excellent internet, night flights to Europe. Leave Monday evening, Paris breakfast Tuesday morning. Cons: roads outside main axes, slow bureaucracy, higher cost of living than expected. Thoughts? Should I write a deep-dive?

Canada has observed the largest decline in happiness in the world (along with the UK)

@DrewPavlou @NatedawgO7 Yes it is.

This is soul crushing Thank you @NatedawgO7 for finding

@goodlobster1 I think it can also become blue vein cheese 🤭

Just so you know Tasty Cheese is just aged Cheddar So buy a block of Cheddar and leave it in the fridge for 15 months and voila you have a block of Tasty and have saved yourself $4 Follow me for more food saving tips 😎

@TheAliceSmith @MediaSOI The left are doomed in their current form. Ironically it seems we are on the cusp of blue collar ascendancy. AI is coming for white collar low iq workers first. Guess who they are? Liberal lefties used to trading low level cognition for job security.

@MediaSOI Because the left are authoritarians and globalists, and so are naturally attracted to a supranational totalitarian organisation like the EU.

Why are the left so obsessed with the European Union?

Even before the internet it was hard to find video disks that were good. With content spilling over now its much harder. I guess the next level will be custom movies tailored to suit your taste, just like social media looks for stuff you like, except it can generated from scratch for you.

My kids are 11 and 12. I know this from direct experience, and also asking all their friends: - no interest in movie theaters - no interest in movies at home - no interest in TV shows Hollywood is dead.

The Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro is considered one of the most important and richest of the world. Created in 1808 by D. João VI of Portugal.

@TimurNegru 3000 litres is a very small spring

69 acres of private Tuscany for €690k ($797k). The land includes an olive grove, a fruit orchard, a cork oak grove and 20 hectares of woodland. A natural spring produces 3,000 litres of water a day, solar panels cover the electricity and yes, it does have wifi. It's also been renovated, 370m² (3,983 sq ft) across 3 floors, 3 beds, 3 baths, with a pool and a sauna. 50 km to Volterra. Off-grid, self-sufficient, sauna, pool..what's missing here?

@ChrisJBakke Ask stupid questions 😂😂

Japanese reporter: "We are allies. Why didn't you tell Japan about the Iran strikes?" Trump: "Who knows better about surprises than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

@sefton20 @TheRedbaiter The latter. Post modernism applies legitimately only to architecture. Everwhere else it is subversively destructive.

@TheRedbaiter @_Simon_K This post is confusing. Are you saying that education is post-modernist? Or that the strain of existentialist ideology known as post-modernism is a scam like climate change?

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown made a good point in his Ryan Bridge interview today- We are witnessing the steady decades long decline of New Zealand. No govt has had any real ideas on how to stop this decline, they've merely managed it better or worse. So where are the ideas?

Good on her

@danwallacenz @henrycooke It might be. But more surges will arrive if conditions change. We need to examine accurately and honestly the cost benefit and acceptabilty to the existing cohorts.

@_Simon_K @henrycooke But it’s a trickle now isn’t it?

GDP went up 0.2% in the Dec quarter, which was on the lower end of forecasts. Stats NZ also trimmed the previous three quarters meaning we saw 1.3% growth overall last year. Compares to: - Australia: 2.6% - UK: 1.3% - Canada: 1.6%
