@Abtasiugy @MarioNawfal @grok where is the proof? this is all just rhetoric

@MarioNawfal @grok simplify it in a very comprehensive way , with important point!

🇺🇸 Anthropic's Mythos AI can run an entire cyberattack on its own. What used to take the world's best hackers days or weeks now takes an hour, and sometimes even minutes. Equip a criminal gang with it and they're operating at the level of a small nation state. Give it to a small country's intel unit and they're pulling off the kinds of breaches only China could manage before. Mythos already autonomously found exploits in every major web browser and cracked Linux code that runs everything from Android phones to NASA supercomputers. Former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce calls what's coming "a dark period" where offensive AI has the upper hand. That period has started. Source: Bloomberg

@MarioNawfal garbage post with zero proof

@zuess05 Learn to be an Architect that commands and directs

Serious question. For the last 10 years, society told everyone "just learn to code" to escape the middle class. Now Claude writes the code. What exactly is the career advice for an 18-year-old right now?

@asaio87 I have been leveraging AI for nine months, I dont call it “vibe” coding - it feels more like being a Senior Architect with a 5-10 person developer team (which I did my whole career) for $30/mo! - it took me six month to build map4.net (3000 git commits)

I met a vibecoder today on Reddit I talked to him for a bit. He is a nurse in a public hospital He was bragging that he vibecoded an app for personal use It turns out he actually did a great job. The app really works and shows that vibecoding is possible. Still the app was easily replicated with Google Sheets or excel. He didn't even need to vibecode an app, pay Vercel for the hosting or have a Supabase for the DB. This is the state of vibecoding This is what you can do if you are not a dev Redundant functionality I guess its ok...ish...

@Terminalchai @shinemeriz @grok I use SuperGrok for frontend and backend database python/flask sql postgres html css javascript - cross platform linux/window works great - seems there are no senior devs in this chat lol

@shinemeriz @grok justify yourself...😂😅

Never met someone who's using Grok for coding.

@ShikharHQ @shinemeriz i use for everything

@shinemeriz Never met someone who uses Grok for anything

@techscetica @shinemeriz @grok wrong

@shinemeriz Grok has no serious use. Also, it hallucinates crazy. @grok right?

@WoodrowKiang @shinemeriz supergrok grok.com $30/mo flat rate is very good - you all here are drunk drinking claude cool-aid

@shinemeriz The web version of grok is extremely different from the API version even with Heavy. Grok 4.20 with a good harness like oh my opencode is actually not bad.

@itsDevamshManoj @shinemeriz its actually very good if you have experience to give good context and prompts - like I do

@shinemeriz I think, just like humans, different models are made for different things, and I just don't think Grok is that good for programming.

@MattReinholz @shinemeriz If you are serious, DM me. I am full stack dev I use it every day and love it - feels like only claude fans in this chat

@shinemeriz I'd love to try it. Does someone have experience with this and can share any tips?

@shinemeriz I have used it for last 9 months works great python SQL html/css/js but I go slow and iterate over 3000 git commits to build map4.net

@Ric_RTP This is misguided. California is dead. The jobs in AI are in Texas.

America spent $285 billion to LOSE the AI war. Stanford dropped a 423 page report yesterday and revealed the most damning stat on page 200: The number of AI researchers moving to the United States has collapsed 89% since 2017. 80% of that collapse happened in the LAST 12 MONTHS. Let that sink in. The country that invented the transformer. The country that built OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI. The country pouring $285.9 billion of private capital into AI in a single year (23x more than China). Can no longer attract the people who actually build the technology. And here's the part that should concern every founder, operator, and investor reading this: The Trump administration just made it official. The H-1B visa now costs employers $100,000 PER HIRE. So OpenAI wants to hire a Chinese postdoc from Tsinghua? $100K before they write a line of code. Anthropic wants a French ML engineer? $100K. Google wants the Indian PhD who literally co-authored the paper their entire model is based on? $100K. And these are the LUCKY ones who even get a visa. The result was instant. 89% drop over 8 years. 80% of it in the last year alone. The talent pipeline got destroyed. Now look at the other side of the chart: China's top model is now 2.7 percentage points behind Anthropic's best. Down from a 20+ point gap two years ago. China leads the world in AI publications. China leads in AI patents. China leads in industrial robot installations. US and Chinese models have traded the #1 spot multiple times since early 2025. Switzerland and Singapore now have more AI researchers per capita than the US. The US ranks 24TH globally in actual AI adoption. Behind the UAE. Behind Singapore. Behind countries most Americans couldn't find on a map. And here's the truly insane part: 50% of the world's top AI researchers are Chinese. Jensen Huang said this on a podcast 3 weeks ago. For 20 years, the US strategy was simple: Let them study at Stanford and MIT, then keep them. Pay them $800K. Give them green cards. Build the future on imported brains. That deal is dead. We just told the smartest people in the world: "Pay $100,000 for the privilege of working here, or go home." And guess what they're doing. They're going to Zurich, where Anthropic and OpenAI are quietly opening offices because they can't get the talent into San Francisco anymore. The strategy is the same as building a Ferrari factory and then banning mechanics from entering the building. You can pour hundreds of billions into data centers. You can buy 4 million Nvidia chips. You can sign $300 billion cloud contracts with Oracle. You can build nuclear reactors to power your GPUs. None of it matters if the people who write the algorithms aren't allowed in the country. Wall Street thinks AI is a capex race. But in reality, it's a TALENT race. Every dollar Microsoft and Meta and Google are spending assumes the same army of researchers will keep showing up to use it. That assumption just broke. And the smart money already knows: Why is Anthropic opening a Zurich office? Why is DeepMind expanding in London instead of Mountain View? Why is OpenAI hiring in Dublin and Singapore? Because the math no longer works in America. The government turned the world's biggest brain magnet into the world's most expensive border wall. 3 years from now, when China launches a frontier model that outperforms anything in the US and the headlines scream "How did we lose the lead?" - remember this post. The lead wasn't lost in a lab. It wasn't lost on a benchmark. It wasn't lost to a smarter algorithm. It was lost at customs.

@MarioNawfal fake news

🇸🇦🇺🇸 Saudi Arabia is telling Trump to back off the blockade before Iran shuts down the only route keeping Gulf oil flowing... Saudi Arabia is reportedly privately pressing Washington to drop the Hormuz blockade and return to negotiations. The reason is simple: if Iran retaliates by activating the Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb, Saudi Arabia loses its last remaining export route. After the war closed Hormuz, Saudi Arabia pivoted its oil exports to Yanbu on the Red Sea, restoring output to its pre-war level of seven million barrels per day. Iran's foreign policy adviser publicly warned that Tehran views Bab el-Mandeb "just as it looks at Hormuz" and can disrupt it "with a single signal." Saudi energy officials told the WSJ they secured commitments from the Houthis not to attack Saudi ships through Bab el-Mandeb. But Riyadh warned Washington the situation is "fluid" and the Houthis could escalate if pushed further by Iran. The U.S. blockade is designed to choke Iran's revenue. But Iran can respond by choking Saudi Arabia's revenue through its Yemeni proxy. Both chokepoints closed simultaneously means the entire Gulf's oil output has no route to market. Global energy markets collapse. Source: WSJ

@Ric_RTP Why do people on X have no clue about running a business?

This is one of the dumbest business decisions ever. A $250 billion company just invested in the startup that's going to put it out of business. On PURPOSE. The company is Accenture. 786,000 employees. The largest IT consulting firm on Earth. Their entire business is renting out human consultants by the hour to build software for Fortune 500 companies. The startup is Replit. A platform that lets ANYONE build software using natural language. No coders. No consultants. Just type what you want and the AI builds it. On Wednesday, Accenture announced they invested in Replit and signed a strategic partnership to bring "vibecoding" to enterprises globally. Isn't this funny? The biggest seller of human coders on Earth just funded the company whose entire mission is making human coders obsolete. The part that breaks my brain: Replit's valuation jumped to $9 billion after the deal. Up 3X in 6 months. Accenture's stock? Down 42% in the last 12 months. From $389 to $186. The market figured out what was coming before Accenture did. In February, Anthropic released a tool called Claude Code. Accenture stock crashed 9.6% in a single day. JPMorgan analyst Toby Ogg said the entire consulting sector "is now being sentenced before trial." That's a Wall Street analyst saying the death sentence has already been delivered. And Accenture's response? They started laying people off. 11,000 employees gone in late 2025. CEO Julie Sweet said it directly on the earnings call: "We are exiting on a compressed timeline people where reskilling is not a viable path." What this really means: We're firing humans because AI can do their jobs. Then she announced an $865 million "restructuring program" to make it official. Now zoom out and look at what just happened... Accenture's clients already include Atlassian, Adobe, Databricks, and Zillow. Replit's clients? Atlassian, Adobe, Databricks, and Zillow. Same logos. Same projects. Different vendor. Every billable hour Accenture saves a client by switching them to Replit is a billable hour Accenture doesn't get to charge for. They're cannibalizing their core revenue and calling it a partnership. They're literally paying for their OWN funeral. Why they did it anyway: Wall Street has been hammering Accenture for months. The narrative is clear: AI is killing consulting and Accenture is the slowest to adapt. Stock down 42%. 11,000 layoffs. Analysts cutting price targets every week. The Replit investment isn't a strategy. They just needed to look "AI-native" to investors before the next earnings call. So they wrote a check to the company building their replacement. And now every Fortune 500 CEO who reads this announcement is going to ask the same question: If Accenture themselves is investing in vibecoding, why are we still paying Accenture $300 an hour to do what Replit does for $20 a month? That question has only one answer... We're NOT. Because this is literally the same playbook every dying industry follows: Newspapers buying digital-first startups in 2008. Taxi companies launching apps in 2013. Hotel chains "partnering" with Airbnb-style platforms in 2016. Every single one ended the same way. The new tool wins. The old company shrinks. The employees get laid off in batches with words like "restructuring" and "rotation" and "reinvention." Accenture isn't building the future. They're funding the people doing it because they can't. This is more proof that AI will replace even more jobs.

@Ric_RTP Accenture will still bill its clients $500/hr reduce its work force (probably start with 50%) and increase its profits by a wide margin - its called automation

@MarioNawfal They do not control anything. lol

Iran is making it seem they’re ready to walk out from the Pakistan negotiations without a deal And they’re not lying, they control the Straits of Hormuz and are printing money! However, they also don’t want to get bombed again. Many of their leaders have been assassinated, and whether they admit it or not, they’re terrified of Trump’s unpredictability So yes, they’re comfortable walking out without a deal, but they cannot risk pushing their luck too far and ending up assassinated I don’t envy the position they’re in, terrifying to be up against both the U.S. and Mossad 💀

@MarioNawfal Giberish

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 "This is the last warning." The most revealing moment of the war happened on a radio channel while diplomats shook hands... While Vance and Ghalibaf were sitting across from each other in Islamabad, two U.S. destroyers pushed into the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the war began. The IRGC challenged them over radio. The exchange was captured by a nearby civilian ship. Iran: "This is the last warning. This is the last warning." The U.S. response: "Passage in accordance with international law. No challenge is intended to you, and I intend to abide by rules of our government's cease-fire." Both sides tell different stories about what happened next. CENTCOM says the destroyers "departed as planned without incident." Iran says they turned around after being confronted. The truth determines who actually controls the Strait right now. What matters more is what didn't happen. Nobody fired. Ghalibaf kept the talks on track in Islamabad while his navy was confronting American warships in real time. A Chatham House analyst called it the U.S. "testing the other side to see if it would respond in a measured way." They did. The talks went for hours with no breakthrough but no breakdown either. That's the realistic outcome. Not peace. Not war. A deal on the Strait that buys time for everything else. Iran wants frozen assets and sanctions relief. The U.S. wants the waterway open and the uranium resolved. Both sides need the other to give something before their domestic audiences lose patience. The most telling detail: Iran's delegation includes hardliners who opposed the 2015 nuclear deal. Their presence makes negotiations harder but any deal they endorse becomes unbreakable at home. Tehran didn't send moderates who could be overruled later. It sent the people whose signatures actually stick. Source: WSJ

@MarioNawfal dumb

🇮🇷 Iran's 4 conditions for peace: ▪️control of Hormuz ▪️reparations ▪️frozen cash back ▪️regional ceasefire The country whose navy is "gone," air force is "gone," and radar is "dead," per Trump this morning, just walked into Islamabad and told America to pay up. Losing never looked this confident. @KobeissiLetter
