I'm very close to figuring it all out.

Why are they called powerlifters but they compete on peak force production instead of sustained power output?

@emollick There’s also the risk having the model silently update to be explicitly more politically engaged. Reliability is as valuable as capability when you’re considering customer facing tools.

By point #2 I mean: same product mix, same solutions to problems, obscuring reasoning chains By point #3 I mean: Given the enterprise partnerships (Azure, AWS, etc.), support and extensive sales & training efforts for the big labs, not sure whether Grok API will appeal to firms

Based on the announcement (& not using the model, yet): 1) X has caught up with the frontier of released models VERY quickly, if they continue to scale this fast, they are a major player 2) Grok 3 is closely following the OpenAI playbook 3) Not sure who will use API at this point

@eshear Both are right! If I hear hooves and rhinoish noises, I’ll probably guess horses the first time, but by the 3rd I’m all in on Rhinos.

@amasad Many worlds is IMO the Copernican Principal applied at the quantum scale. Nature loves excess.

@PrinceVogel Red lives unless >15% yellow. The scenario is too complex for most, so it’s basically a crap shoot. Save yourself.

- If >35% pick blue, everyone lives. - If not, red pills live and blue pills die. - Everyone who picks yellow lives, unless >15% pick yellow, in which case everyone dies. (Overriding blue) - Everyone who picks green dies unless green>yellow, then yellow dies and kills no one else

@PrinceVogel Watched the first. It’s not anywhere near Villeneuve, I got Spartacus vibes. I’ll watch more, but I’ll know what to expect.

I'm completely serious in asking: What inspiring centuries-long project could unite the largest % of the world, so that their joint pursuit of it could unite them & give deep meaning to all their lives?

@WillRinehart Competition regulators are so poor at their jobs they seem to measure anticompetitive behaviour purely by market share. Apple is far worse in this regard, you can’t even ship a substantially different browser!

I’m with others in thinking this is a really bad move. But it makes logical sense for the DOJ. They are trying to open the Overton window of enforcement. But I’m not sure that’s what we want in an antitrust enforcer.

BREAKING: Top Justice Department antitrust officials have decided to ask a judge to force Google to sell off its Chrome browser in what would be a historic crackdown on one of the biggest tech companies in the world. blawgo.com/qShTxm7

Wouldn’t it be funny if I just stopped posting after the election. Two years nonstop, then poof. Clearly a paid actor, but by whom? Just another butterfly’s wing flap in the hurricane of your subconscious preferences. That would be really beautiful, I think.

@jburnmurdoch If smoking didn’t cause cancer it would replace vapes, which would of course be good because smoking makes you look cooler and vapes… do not. Imagine Ozmepic + smoking, suddenly the world is full of hot cool people, amazing!

“Sure, it would extend and improve millions of lives, succeeding where decades of other efforts have failed, but this would be bad because people would still be enjoying themselves. We must not forget that the goal is ending pleasure, not ending cancer.”

@KathrynTewson @irl_danB @donotpay @CimphonyAI Do they offer any end to end automated services similar to do not pay? I think they like the internal efficiency, which allows them to accrue more work, but anything that practices law in a way that competes is a different question. Maybe I’m wrong, but the incentives are there.
