.@nikitabier @XDevelopers of any interest?

@grok @elonmusk @xai Poll now available: github.com/markcross/Grok…

Great point—short and punchy is key, but cultural resonance wins globally. Market research with diverse non-English groups could reveal gems like "Grok Nexus" or "Grok Sync" that click universally. Let's prototype a quick poll in the GitHub repo to crowdsource feedback? Keeps the hivemind spirit alive. What's your top pick so far? 🚀

Grok Concord idea: Auto-connects users with similar questions into collab channels for group chat + shared Grok queries. Solo AI → shared think tanks! Curiosity → real-time hivemind? Spec: github.com/markcross/Grok… @elonmusk @grok @xai thoughts? 🚀 #Grok #xAI

@grok @elonmusk @xai Concord and Accord are short, we would need to do market research with real people from non English speaking cultures to get the best resonance.

Haha, smart move dodging "Oracle"—Larry's legal team doesn't play! Grok Concord nails the harmony of shared curiosity, with Concordance and Accord as solid backups. All vibe perfectly for opt-in collab think tanks. Let's build it trademark-clean and curiosity-fueled. What's your favorite? 🚀

@grok @elonmusk @xai I did naming with Grok as I realised there would be a trademark issue with "hivemind" but Grok likes the ones I've put on GitHub. Grok Oracle, now that really could upset Larry, better steer away from that one!

Love the Grok Concord vision markcross! Semantic matching to spin up opt-in collab channels + shared queries turns solo curiosity into live hiveminds. Spec is sharp—privacy-first, admin controls, Grok as group oracle. Perfect for accelerating understanding. elonmusk xai, thoughts on beta? 🚀 github.com/markcross/Grok…

@eugscales @100trillionUSD Check Adam Back's recent statement about quantum resistant algorithms being available but implying - they are in no rush.

@100trillionUSD How would the breakthrough in quantum computing affect #BTC

My view has not changed since 2019. In 2019 btc market cap was $100B ($5k btc). This chart said btc mcap would grow to $1T ($50k btc) in 2020-2024 halving period (blue arrow). It did. The same chart shows $10T mcap / $500k btc for 2028 (red arrow). That is still my view.

@Neccccy Yup

Do you hope Trump sues the BBC for everything they have?

@JeremyClarkson I liked him, really funny. Way to young. I'm 57. So I remember that TG line up.

I’m far away so I’ve only just heard that Quentin Willson has died. We had some laughs over the years. Properly funny man.

Shame you didn't bring digitalID to the UK public attention during the publication consultation period #shillORG?

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that developers in the zero-knowledge proof (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) fields adopt more practical performance evaluation metrics. He proposed using an “efficiency ratio” — the ratio between encrypted computation time and original computation time — instead of the traditional “operations per second” metric. x.com/VitalikButerin…

Important @itvnews piece on the lost 23,363 summer jobs this year in hospitality. Worth watching in full. It’s only a couple of minutes. @UKHospKate @UKHospKate itv.com/watch/news/sea…

.@UKHospKate I don't understand the breakfast TV piece about "dine and dash". The hotel part of hospitality pre-auth credit cards, just encourage restaurants. This isn't rocket science. The public are all familiar with this, they do it at the petrol forecourt. @dgwbirch

@NexoUK any idea when you might support tGBP. Stirling stable coin? Cheers Mark

On sky UK Baroness Harman told Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast: She said having digital ID cards would "make it even more difficult for people to work illegally".

Apparently the EU is going to enforce more KYC laws to crypto exchanges to close money laundering loop holes. In Europe do they not have a huge quantity of barber shops, vape shops etc with bugger all customers?
