Based on the discourse around Musk it seems like some people believe he's having some huge amount of input on - Rocket Design - Battery Chemistry - Frontier level AI research There's no way he's just a guy with a bunch of money paying smart people to do things.

#173It's crazy that I'd literally trust a Chinese AI company with my data over anything Musk is involved with.

My vote is "machine psychology".

It doesn't seem like Grok is being astroturfed, if anything the opposite. There are two Chinese models on the front page while this is on the second page as of writing. And there would always be so many comments personally attacking Musk whenever his company releases something. I think this is being CCP bot farmed.
What interesting going for Grok that it would overshadow all bad PR?

4) There's nothing terribly special about Anthropic. No moat.
Agreed, but my suspicion is tied to the timing. Catching up eventually is to be expected. Having similar jumps in capability ready at the same time is odd.
Combustion engines improved gradually, each year. One year they got better than horses.

Much less Grok's, since they have a reputation for unethical benchmaxxing, among other things.

If I was Chinese, I'd probably trust Grok more than a local AI company. Americans would probably trust the Chinese companies more. It's less about "who is more trustworthy", it's more about "who is more willing and able to affect me".
