Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would you give one to Sam, Mark, or Sundar?

What does our system say about itself when people of integrity so rarely rise to the top?

I dont know too much but Jensen Huang seems like a good guy

xAI's biggest contribution to the space seems to have been their x-rated image/video model. Hard to see what xAI has to offer against Gemini, Claud, ChatGPT.

To be fair I think there's a good usecase there. Someone's gonna do it. People will want it. American financial institutions are too prudish for it but money is money. And personally I think there's nothing morally wrong with it (of course within normal restrictions like 18+, consent of portrayed parties etc) xAI is getting flak in Europe because they don't obey consent and age, not because it's porn. Personally I pr…

That consent of portrayed parties is impossible.

What is the solution there?

Feel like the canary was when Grokpedia became a project. Giant waste of time while Anthropic/OAI keep surging forward. I also keep hearing this narrative that Twitter is a good data source, but I cannot imagine it's a valuable dataset. Sure keeping up with realtime topics can be useful, but I am not sure how much of a product that is.

And Google. They're quietly making a lot of progress in the coding space with antigravity and Gemini 3.1.

It’s pretty telling that Elon had to have Grok rewrite Wikipedia because the truth was too woke for him. No idea how anybody can ever take Grok seriously.

tbh I wouldn't give Elon a dime even if Grok was miles better than competition.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here.

Has Antigravity gotten any better?

All: please stick to thoughtful, substantive discussion. You may not owe you-know-whom better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

If you don't have a thoughtful, substantive comment to add, not commenting is also a good option. There are quite a few interesting submissions to talk about.
