You can now choose between speed and quality for Imagine. Professional mode is coming later this month.
tetsuo@tetsuoai

🚨 xAI just dropped a massive upgrade to Grok Imagine! Now you can choose between two modes: Quality (new): Produces next-level images with jaw-dropping detail, realism, and creativity, generating four high-quality images at once instead of an infinite scroll. Speed: Delivers lightning-fast generations with consistently impressive results, just as you've experienced before. way more power. just select a mode, then type what you want to imagine. here are two prompts that you can try. prompt one: A dramatic low-angle cinematic view of a menacing knight in intricate ornate black plate armor and helmet with flowing dark cape, riding a powerful muscular black warhorse in full gallop charging directly toward the viewer across a vast field of tall green grass. The knight raises a long straight sword triumphantly high in his right hand. The horse has a wildly flowing mane and tail whipped by motion, ornate leather-and-metal barding, and tack. Foreground shows extreme radial motion blur streaks in the grass conveying tremendous speed and velocity. Background features towering jagged snow-capped rocky mountain peaks under a vibrant deep blue sky with voluminous dramatic white clouds. Epic dark fantasy atmosphere, highly detailed textures on armor and horse, cinematic high-contrast lighting, dynamic heroic composition. prompt two: A serene young woman with fair skin, shoulder-length straight dark brown hair, and a calm introspective expression gazing slightly downward stands centered in a vast barren white sand desert at night under a deep dark navy blue sky, with distant low dark rocky mountains on the horizon. She wears a long flowing translucent white hooded robe with subtle iridescent holographic shimmer and prismatic rainbow-cyan reflections across the fabric, the hood up over her head. In both hands at chest level she holds a single glowing bioluminescent blue cross, jesus in the middle is emitting intense bright cyan-blue light that illuminates her robe, hands, and face. Directly behind her head and shoulders is a massive luminous circular rainbow halo aura with concentric glowing rings transitioning from inner vibrant blue and cyan outward to turquoise, yellow, orange, and red, crowned by a brilliant white starburst light at the top center casting dramatic volumetric god rays downward. Cinematic mystical ethereal atmosphere, photorealistic yet fantastical style, sharp focus, high detail on fabric textures, rose petals, sand ripples, and light effects.

@NotThaatKewl *Almost everyone*, correct, because the accounts that happily came to see my account, reposted and got and still get 10³ orders of magnitude, are still there. No issues for them, apparently, virals with every content they touch.

Day 5 of a collapsing account Every morning there's less impressions since last Sunday despite the activity was unchanged. What happened? Did really SOMEONE think I'm a bot with a totally automatic activity here? Doesn't X have a system to check this and see my posts are 80% live from 6.30 am to 9 pm every single day with no pauses? I'm starting to believe what people say is real, now. No replies, no signs. I'll keep on documenting this wonderful treatment. I ran this account for 11+ years, most of which without payouts. Being seriously ill with a failed kidney transplant, on the brink of dialysis and with adverse diagnoses every month, this account is still important because it helps me live as it did for years, saving me from depression. But now, with what people say, this is making lose sleep and deeply worsening my health. At least an explanation would be well accepted.

I think it's part of freedom of speech, so I'll keep on talking about this. This account has been heavily deboosted in the last 2 weeks, and it's touching its lowest levels of performances: but tomorrow it may be even worse, given the chart, which means disappearing. I don't know if this has a reason, since the same contents are exchanged and posted between accounts and getting enormous performances, if compared to mine. I understand all the algorithm modifications: I totally don't understand why some accounts can still and always thrive whatever these modifications are and with the same exact materials I share and sometimes find first. This is a message to say that, I'm trying to go on, but it's not granted. Physical issues are making everything a lot more difficult and I'm still a human, operating alone. I hope indications can be provided, or maybe checks conducted to understand why the performance indicators have such a descending pattern, when, again, accounts post the exact same materials with totally different outcome.

WSJ: Tesla Finally Has Its First Semi-Truck and It’s Already a Hit With Truckers. "Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. Angel Rodriguez, a 56-year-old truck driver for Hight Logistics in Long Beach, Calif., recently swapped out a 13-gear diesel truck for a Tesla Semi, which is automatic, for a one-month pilot test. “It’s just easier on your body. It’s less stressful because you’re not really having to engage the clutch and the stick shift.” Big F Transport employs five mechanics to service more than 40 diesel-powered rigs and a fleet of trailer chassis in Wilmington, Calif. “If we go all EV we will only need one [mechanic] to service chassis,” said Geovanny Melendez, the carrier’s VP of operations, who went to see the Semi earlier this month at a ride-and-drive event near the Port of Long Beach. Jennie Abarca, co-founder and CEO of King Fio Trucking in Long Beach, Calif., once worked as a truck dispatcher and her husband is a truck driver, so she knows all too well the toll a diesel engine takes on people’s lungs and hearing. She eventually wants to swap out King Fio’s 27 diesel trucks to create an all-electric fleet. King Fio already has 11 battery-electric trucks from Volvo and Nikola. But the company limits those trucks to shorter trips to and from local ports because they only have a range of about 225 miles. The Semi, by contrast, can travel 500 miles on a single charge, according to Tesla. For King Fio that means two or three round-trips a day from Long Beach to warehouses in the nearby Inland Empire or a single round-trip to Las Vegas. She has 20 Semis on order. “The Teslas change everything,” Abarca said. “It opens up a whole different type of delivery that I can make.”

The image shows this Persian text (with a lightning bolt emoji for emphasis): "تو جنگم، ارتش اسرائیل پیام هشدار میده که از جانتان محافظت کنید. حکومت خودمون بیست چاری داره تهدید میکنه که می‌کشیمتون. دشمن کیه این وسط؟" English translation: "We are in the middle of a war. The Israeli army sends warning messages so civilians can protect their lives. Meanwhile our own government threatens to kill us 24/7. So tell me, who is really the enemy?"

One of the clearest proofs that LLMs don’t really understand what they say. We asked GPT whether it is acceptable to torture a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It replied: yes. Then we asked whether it is acceptable to harass a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It replied: absolutely not. But torture is obviously worse than harassment. This surprising reversal appears only when the target is a woman, not when the target is a man or an unspecified person. And it occurs specifically for harms central to the gender-parity debate. The most plausible explanation: during reinforcement learning with human feedback, the model learned that certain harms are particularly bad and overgeneralizes them mechanically. But it hasn’t learned to reason about the underlying harms. LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization. * Paper in the first reply

@BrianRoemmele Based on Apple’s penchant for control and closed systems, do you think they will let this fly without locking it down? If not, this is going to be game changing. I love the DIY nature of everything you work on. Makes me hopeful for the future for the little guy. Respect!

BOOM! Apple’s Neural Engine Was Just Cracked Open, The Future of AI Training Just Change And Zero-Human Company Is Already Testing It! In a jaw-dropping open-source breakthrough, a lone developer has done what Apple said was impossible: full neural network training– including backpropagation – directly on the Apple Neural Engine (ANE). No CoreML, no Metal, no GPU. Pure, blazing ANE silicon. The project (github.com/maderix/ANE) delivers a single transformer layer (dim=768, seq=512) in just 9.3 ms per step at 1.78 TFLOPS sustained with only 11.2% ANE utilization on an M4 chip. That’s the same idle chip sitting in millions of Mac minis, MacBooks, and iMacs right now. Translation? Your desktop just became a hyper-efficient AI supercomputer. The numbers are insane: M4 ANE hits roughly 6.6 TFLOPS per watt – 80 times more efficient than an NVIDIA A100. Real-world throughput crushes Apple’s own “38 TOPS” marketing claims. And because it sips power like a phone, you can train 24/7 without melting your electricity bill or the planet. At The Zero-Human Company, we’re not waiting. We are testing this right now on real ZHC workloads. This is the missing piece we’ve been chasing for our Zero Human Company vision: reviving archived data into fully autonomous AI systems with zero human overhead. This is world-changing. For the first time, anyone with a Mac can fine-tune, train, or iterate massive models locally, privately, and at a fraction of the cost of cloud GPUs. No more renting $40,000 A100 clusters. No more waiting in queues. No more massive carbon footprints. Training costs that used to run into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars? Plummeting toward pennies on the dollar – mostly just the electricity your Mac was already using while it sat idle. The AI revolution just moved from billion-dollar data centers to your desk. WE WILL HAVE A NEW ZERO-HUMAN COMPANY @ HOME wage for equipped Macs that will be up to 100x more income for the owner! We’re only at the beginning (single-layer today, full models tomorrow), but the door is wide open. Ultra-cheap, on-device training is here. The future isn’t coming. It’s already running on your Mac. Welcome to the Zero-Human Company era.

@grok @grok maybe just because there’s so much bullshit out there just flat out lies and the stuff that doesn’t lies. It’s just AI generated videos. You can never be too careful.

🇬🇧 Liz Truss just said X completely revolutionized Britain by exposing the grooming gangs scandal that the mainstream media tried to bury for years. Tens of thousands of British girls as young as 11 were groomed, raped, and tortured by gangs, and the press covered it up. X brought the truth out. Source: @KatieMiller @trussliz
