@nikitabier @growing_daniel I personally think my X feed is pretty great! Lots of space, AI, retro gaming, simulation theory, robotics, and politics... It's almost entirely things I want to see.

@growing_daniel This job sucks ass

Nikita giving a 15% bump on mutuals tweets as cover for a bunch of other changes including more girls posting selfies tweets. The instagramification will continue until DAU numbers improve.

@america Why is that?

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin says The SAVE America Act, which would mandate Voter ID and citizenship verification to vote, “would make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”

@nikitabier @sama @iliketeslas 🤌

@sama @iliketeslas Incredible trade secrets as well, some of the best

Sam Altman wasn't afraid of Elon but he is terrified of Apple. You can tell by all his posting today

@dhh Absolutely agree. We purchased the Launch Edition when it first... uh... launched, and we love it. Such an incredible car and FSD on AI4 hardware is so good.

I've been a Tesla convert for years. Model X, Model S Plaid, Cyberbeast. But the Model Y we just got still blew me away! It feels so tight, so well built, so right. Unbelievably good car and good value. It sending an Aston Martin DBX 707 and Taycan Turbo S out of the fleet!

@SlopHq Yep. They try to frame it like it's either or, when in reality it's both. Just build more power generation.

every data center story says it uses "as much power as 100,000 homes" like that's a scandal. an aluminum smelter pulls five times that and it's why airplanes are cheap. measuring industry in homes is how you train a country to believe building things is a crime

@farzyness This is the way I felt after I started using Cursor + Composer 2.5 Fast. It technically wasn't as good as Claude Code + Opus 4.8, but I got comparable or even better results usually.

I think AI has just hit a gigantic threshold, and Grok 4.5 is the PERFECT example as to why that is. One of the hardest parts of working with AI is iterating on a project or task that you're working on. As the models have gotten smarter (and more expensive), it's taking longer and longer to get an answer or action back. This creates a ton of stall time per query or action, which is actually quite bad for creativity and staying in a state of flow. You have SO many extended starts and stops. Which inevitably leads to your brain going somewhere else. And then when the AI comes back, you have to redirect your brain to that original task, spool your brain back up to what you were working on at that moment, and then adjust as needed. There's a ton of mental friction involved. This ESPECIALLY sucks when the AI takes a REALLY long time to get something back for you, but it's not quite what you were looking for or asked for. And what sucks EVEN MORE is that these "mistakes" are getting MORE expensive!!! So wait time is going up. AND it costs more per run. HOWEVER - even after using Grok 4.5 for about an hour - what's become obvious is that it's SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE AND BETTER to use a model that is FAST... and capable ENOUGH. Capable ENOUGH is the real unlock here. Imagine having Fable 5 performance but at the speed of Gemini 3.5 flash. Or Haiku. That's where we're inevitably going. I think Grok 4.5 (and models like it) have really solved for one of the biggest unlocks in AI - a model that will get you a GOOD ENOUGH answer VERY FAST, at which point iteration can happen VERY QUICKLY. This - counter intuitively - keeps the user in a state of flow and creativity for MUCH longer because you are constantly ENGAGED with your project... instead of letting the AI loose for a long time. And as long as humans are involved, I think 'not quite right' will be a FOREVER problem with AI - because AIs, by default, CANNOT have human taste. Because they are NOT human. But they can be UNBELIEVABLE tools. And unbelievable tools are the ones that are VERY GOOD and VERY FAST. I think that's the true unlock with Grok 4.5 and models like it. Difficult to describe until you experience it. I think this is a VERY big deal for @SpaceXAI and @elonmusk.

@SawyerMerritt /sigh

@BasedMikeLee 🎯

Comment with 🎯 if you relate

@__0HOUR1_ Very happy to see this one.

FBI now targeting H1B fraud get popcorn 🍿 this one’s going to be good.

@esrtweet 100% agree

Elon is the hero of our century, so far. It's going to take a lot to top what he's done for civilization.

@mattvanswol Hero in my book.

🚨#BREAKING: Leftists are attempting to get a man arrested in Durham NC after he refused to let TWO MASKED LEFTIST WOMEN BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG on the 4th of July. Video footage appears to show him ripping the American flag away from 2 women as they attempt to light it on fire.

@Asmon_Updates 100% truth

Asmongold explains why his "bottom 2%" take makes people so angry "People are mad because it destroys two narratives they live their lives around. The first is that poor people are poor because of structural reasons with no fault of their own. The second is it inverts the guilt they try to pin on the top one percent." "If you took the top 2% of people and they just vanished, every single functional societal system would totally collapse. Businesses would fall apart, machines would stop running. They're the only ones smart enough to understand the systems. That's the truth, you might not like it, but it's the truth." "Now contrast that. If you lost the bottom 2%, the world would astronomically improve. Everybody's lives would instantly get better. You'd get rid of 95% of violent criminals, probably the majority of criminals in general. There is not a single aspect of your life that would get worse in any way."

@RetroMemoriesHQ Yep! Bought one to play EverQuest back in '99.

Did you ever own a 3dfx Voodoo graphics card?

@0xRuzy Nothing funnier than watching rich people talking about rich people.

Seth Rogen said rich people used to spend their fortunes building things everyone could use. Seth Rogen: Maybe this is like naive of me, but it seems like these rich people who are like, had outsized wealth, it seems like they used to like to have their names on things Keanu Reeves: Libraries, that were like public... Seth Rogen: able to be used by the public. Keanu Reeves: National parks. You know what I mean? Yeah, parks... Seth Rogen: ...parks, observatories, libraries, museums, you know, things like that. And now it's like, people don't do that stuff anymore.

@SawyerMerritt They just need more models and it'll all turn around. Just a few more.

GM sold 27,395 EVs in the US in Q2 2026, -41% YoY. Q2 EV sales: • Equinox EV: 6,660 (-62% YoY) • Optiq: 4,236 (+31% YoY) • Lyriq: 4,208 (-16% YoY) • Silverado EV: 2,266 (-26% YoY) • Blazer EV: 2,089 (-68% YoY) • Vistiq: 2,001 (+15% YoY) • Hummer EV: 1,948 (-57% YoY) • Escalade IQ: 1,771 (-2% YoY) • Sierra EV: 1,756 (+15% YoY) • BrightDrop Van: 460 (-65% YoY)

@davepl1968 @aakashgupta All those miles do get you exposure to edge cases though. You don't have to train repeatedly on miles you've already mastered, but you do need lots of miles to find the rare events that matter.

I'm going to call BS on this because I do not believe that Tesla TRAINS their AI on all ten billion. My Sharp Calculator in the glovebox has been in there for 20,000 miles but it does not record or train on the driving experience. Same thing for FSD. Unless that mileage is recorded and used for learning, who cares how long it went straight under FSD control?

The empty driver's seat in this clip runs on more road experience than 740,000 years of human driving. Tesla's fleet crossed 10 billion FSD miles in May. Put that in human terms: the average American drives about 13,500 miles a year, so one person would need roughly 740,000 years behind the wheel to see what this system has already seen. And it keeps growing while you read. The fleet adds around 29 million miles a day, which works out to 1,000 miles of fresh driving data every three seconds. By the time you finish this sentence, the model steering that Cybercab got a few thousand miles smarter. Here's the part that gets you. Every one of those miles came from a real person. A Model 3 threading an unprotected left in California. A Model Y merging into Houston traffic. Each clean decision becomes a lesson. The car with no wheel in Austin learned to drive from millions of ordinary commutes it was never in. That curve is bending up too. Going from 8 billion to 10 billion miles took eight months. The next billion now lands in about thirty days. Every car sold adds another teacher to the pool. A human gets one lifetime of roads. This thing gets a new one every few weeks.

@NYCMayor Mercy to the guilty... /sigh

We just took another major step toward finally closing Rikers Island. By permanently closing a jail and transferring three properties to DCAS, we're moving closer to closing Rikers for good.  Our City's resources should be invested in rehabilitation, restoration, and a smaller, more humane jail system.

@davepl1968 I just looked up where bananas come from.

Most programmers think their program starts at main(), which is adorable in the same way that children think the grocery store makes bananas.

@yatharthmann Some people are just built different.
