@morganlinton This has pretty much been my experience with it. I'm pretty shocked at how nice it is and looking forward to what's coming.

Okay, so initial feedback on Grok Build after spending a day with it.
The TUI UX is amazing, easily the best UX I've seen for a coding agent, the mouse control blew my mind, it's really nice.
Quality of the model - it's okay, not bad, but not exceptional. I'd say Opus 4.6/5.7, GPT 5.5, Composer 2 and GLM 5.1 write better code.
Right now it's on par with something like SWE-1.6 from Cognition, and similar in many ways, it's fast, but is building at more of an MVP-level vs. a production grade.
The only thing that is driving me crazy, and the biggest feedback I'd have for the team is: I can't get it to run for more than a minute or two. No matter what I try, it even responds saying things like, "sorry I will run for longer," but then it runs for like 30 seconds.
Here's my longest run so far, 1 minute and 43 seconds, kinda felt like a small victory.
It always ends by saying something like "Keep going? Just reply with anything and I'll keep building"
So you really have to just sit and babysit it if you want to get any coding done.
Overall though, super impressed, and I know this is an early beta so it is already exceeding expectations. I'd give it a 6/10 right now, which for an early beta is solid.
I think the team did a great job being transparent about where it's at, releasing early, saying they released early, and getting feedback.
Really looking forward to continuing to use it and watching it get better. Bullish on Grok Build 💪

@WithBriGuy @Zeneca Hermes is better across the board and I really liked my openclaw
English

@Zeneca Were you able to move your skills and workflows and cron jobs over pretty easily?
One of my biggest challenges with Openclaw is getting it to keep working past one task. It seems to do a thing and then stop versus doing the next and the next.
Is Hermes better at that?

@cand3r @JWALL00171 @WesRoth Exactly the opposite. The literature is rife with examples of AI fails leading to arrests and deaths.

Anthropic's CEO Explains His Refusal to Back Down to the Pentagon.
Amodei explained his deep concerns over "autonomous drone swarms" and mass surveillance.
He pointed out a crucial reality: our military's constitutional protections rely entirely on human soldiers having the ability to disobey an illegal order. AI weapons don't have that fail-safe.
He also warned that AI could completely bypass the Fourth Amendment. Right now, the government can't possibly process every single conversation recorded in public spaces.
But with AI's ability to instantly transcribe and connect millions of data points, it could easily map out political opposition in seconds.
English

@WesRoth I doubt that entirely.
I think you might get a lot of people saying nonsense that gets picked up as a potential threat, but I highly doubt AI is going to be able to identify a anti-government political insurgency with any type of serious accuracy.
A person could though

@JohnathanBi Previously reserved for Aristocracy? The location near me matches the cost of elite private schools in the area. Still out of reach for the majority of people.

Nothing has made me more optimistic about our AI future than visiting Alpha School.
The dominant doomer narrative is that, even if we solve alignment, AI will automate so much that humans will be left with nothing but meaningless hedonism. As AI does more and more humans are reduced to less and less.
Alpha School shows us that there exists an alternate path where human potential is realized, not truncated, by AI and where work becomes more meaningful.
I shadowed Alpha’s co-founder MacKenzie Price (@mackenzieprice) for a week and was blown away by what I saw. They’ve replaced all of their human teachers with AI tutors that are able to offer bespoke, custom instruction to each student — the same kind of tutorship previously reserved for the aristocracy now scalable through technology. Her students spend only 2 hours a day on academics and yet consistently score 99th percentile in standardized testing and go on to study in the best colleges in the world.
But what about teachers who now have all lost their jobs? They are hired as “guides” who dedicate all of their time to understanding and motivating their students instead of grading papers on the same basic material over and over again. For many, AI has freed them to spend more time on what attracted them to teaching in the first place — building human connection and inspiring the next generation.
In this interview, we dive deep into Alpha’s philosophy and gain insight into the perennial questions in the philosophy of education:
- Can virtue be taught?
- Does nature overpower nurture?
- What is the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation?

@Cernovich I feel and have always felt the same way. Unreal how so many people feel the opposite of this. You’re old! Get your stuff together!

Props to everyone still holding their MSTR bag.
We can’t even get a nice pump to $200.
My best advice is to sit still.
MSTR is at the bottom.
If you rotate into AI, you’re rotating into something near ATH’s.
Chances are you lose money if you do that.
How much worse can it get for MSTR?
Prbbly not that worse.

You would think ai would help drive down the cost overall. Can’t help but feel like this school is trying to squeeze out as much profit because they are seen as a first mover in this space and rather than make it cost competitive because of the tech, they are matching elite private schools that don’t use ai.

I moved to Austin in part to send my kids to the famous Alpha School: kids learn 2x faster in two hours per day using very powerful AI-enabled software. Tuition is $40k/yr.
Next year kids in Texas will be able to get the remote version of that program (same software) for FREE.

@blockchainchick @Rebelrider65 That’s not what Phong said in the interview. This is engagement farming.

🚨 SAYLOR JUST DROPPED THE BITCOIN TEN COMMANDMENTS
The man holding 650,000 Bitcoin like it’s pocket change just released his 21 Rules infographic and it’s the most savage red-pill manifesto ever put on a poster:
Rule 1: Those who understand Bitcoin buy it. Those who don’t, criticize it.
Rule 9: Only buy Bitcoin with money you can’t afford to lose (because fiat is already lost).
Rule 12: All your models will be destroyed.
Rule 19: Respect Bitcoin or it will make a clown out of you.
Rule 20: You do not sell your Bitcoin.
Rule 21: Spread Bitcoin with love.
This is nothing short of a religious declaration that the dollar is a melting ice cube and the only moral thing left to do is stack the only asset God capped at 21 million while central banks print infinity.
Boomers are calling it a cult. Bankers are calling it terrorism. Saylor calls it thermodynamics.
If you still don't know what's going on: The richest Bitcoin evangelist on the planet just told 8 billion people their life savings are a subscription service to poverty - and he did it with fire emojis and zero apologies.

@tommking7 It’s basically the same but you didn’t have to buy the stock/LEAP outright. So yeah, an ITM/ATM put is better. That’s how I do it.

Saylor opening for Brunell on Bitcoin with Payne is pure fire, but let's cut the hype: this endless pump ignores how Bitcoin's wild swings have wrecked regular folks chasing the dream, while whales like MicroStrategy hoard and hedge billions. It's not revolution—it's a casino for the rich, widening the wealth gap as fiat crumbles. Natalie nails adoption, but at what cost to the broke majority? Time to question if digital gold saves us or just gilds the elite.

₿etter than Ever. Today I was the warm-up act for @natbrunell as we both talked Bitcoin with @cvpayne. You’ll want to hear what she had to say.

@hodgetwins I know everyone is going crazy about the pull ups but the pushups are the biggest issue. It should the foundation for every man and not being able to do a proper one is more sus to me.
