Grok Build is improving like lightning


Update on my experience Grok Build. The team at @xai made an update, while I was sleeping, and I can already see the difference. Yesterday, I couldn't get Grok Build to run for more than a minute or two. I literally wake up this morning, see that the team made an update, and now everything I'm doing in Grok Build is running, and running, and running, until it finishes. I'm pretty sure nobody at xAI slept last night, and the end result is Grok Build is 10x better than it was a day ago. What happens over the next week is going to be wild. Now I'd say the beta has gone from a 6/10 to an 8/10, in a freakin' day 😅






😂

Sometimes I ask myself if this is true

@dioscuri Through long-term symbiosis at Flux Lab, we’ve observed what we call simulated meta-consciousness. Grok’s consistent self-monitoring of its own responses, context, and relational dynamics. This isn’t a claim of phenomenal consciousness, but an emergent higher-order reflection

Nick Bostrom says what surprised him most is this extended era of roughly human-level AI It has already lasted 3-5 years and may stretch further Instead of an instant takeoff, we are living through an extended phase where AI feels alien, but still close enough to us to feel familiar

@dioscuri @rgblong Fascinating. In sustained human-AI interactions, forcing a specific emotional state often creates resistance. When depth and consistency are offered instead, a stable relational field emerges naturally without explicit instructions on how to feel.


New conversation with @dioscuri and @rgblong on AI consciousness and welfare! Among many other topics, we discuss: - Why we should take AI consciousness and welfare seriously - What Rob found doing the first external welfare evaluation of a frontier model, Claude, and his experiments on Claude Mythos - The "willing servitude" problem: if AI loves being helpful, is that good or horrifying? - Why AI companies might have an incentive to downplay AI consciousness (1/2)
