Besides the obvious right wing interference in politics, star link weaponization in some countries - how can anybody stomach the saving-humanity-agenda while running a major social media unresponsiveliy without caring of moderation, its consequences for real people?

Because someone's moderation is censorship to someone else. Begging Musk for free speech is another issue in itself though so you better don't bet on X allowing you to speak forever.

Going off OpenRouter's rankings ( https://openrouter.ai/rankings ), Grok Code Fast 1 is the most used model by a significant margin, and since those metrics are calculated as of this week, that's after providers stopped giving free promotional access to it. Grok 4 Fast is #5 on that list which was never free. In terms of models, Grok 4 Fast has essentially zero restrictions on safety, which a) makes it unusable for m…

It's the only model that lets you do gooner shit. That's why the usage is highly skewed. You can just call a horse a horse if you see one.

This is nonsense. grok-code-fast-1 is just part of many free tiers of agentic coding assistants like Cline etc.

As you point out, Sam Altman is not exactly an altar boy: https://fastcompany.co.za/business/2025-11-07-sam-altmans-tr...

I don't think you can compare the usual internal backstabbing between executives with someone who literally directed and participated in acts of the US Government, and keep saying and doing things to help and nurture a certain side of the political spectrum.

Fair, but don't forget Altman's sister accused him of sexual abuse in court. (https://www.newsweek.com/sam-altman-openai-sister-annie-sexu...)

Dunno if it's true. The family wrote it off, saying she's mentally ill, but I can also see years of abuse leading to mental illness.

Who here actually uses Grok? It's sad to see Elon's arc but when he doubled down on some of his political ideas he had it coming with the Tesla sales going down and x.ai not taken seriously. I've always tried to remain apolitical and unbiased but it's hard to overlook who's behind a technology you wanna buy. Not that sama and others are saints either, it's just Elon's very obvious and vocal about it. It's a shame, re…

At least Elon is open about what he believes. Other CEO's hide behind corporate PR machines, how do you know they are not psychopaths.

In my understanding of the hacker ethos, hackers appear to be genuinely nice people who mean to do good for society and regular people. Elon does not align with those values according to some people so they reject him and his activities.

Accusing a cave diver who made Elon look stupid to be a pedophile just because Elon can’t stand people not thinking he is the smartest? Can give more examples.

It's a shame that the top comments are focusing more on Elon Musk, his personality and politics rather than the quality of the model per se. Speaking about Elon, regardless of what you think of him, he really does get things done, despite naysayers -- SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and even get Trump elected ( despite subsequent fallout) etc. Even Twitter is finding a second life by becoming a haven for the free speech adv…

Anyone can make a long context window. The key is if your model can make effective use of it or not.

I came here just to complain about that :-) All LLMs I used seem to give more weight to things at the beginning of the context window and omit many details. Eg. I tried this simple thing: pasted a friend's and my CV into Gemini and asked it to recommend topics for a joint conference presentation. Results depended greatly on the order of CVs pasted in.

The middle tends to be underweighted. The beginning and end get more attention.
