You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche. Of course, he needs to do impressive things, stuff that a normal person wouldn’t have the resources to achieve. It’s similar to…

Refrain from personal attacks and try to come up with some arguments if you disagree.

> Currently, Grok Web is not accessible in the United Kingdom or the countries of the European Union. We are diligently working to extend our services to these regions, prioritizing compliance with local data protection and privacy laws to ensure your information remains safely secure. I suppose you can take that to mean that people who do have access to the service should not expect much in terms of data protection.

The EU and UK are good for data protection?

Grok has gotten to the top of one benchmark: https://x.com/lmarena_ai/status/1891706264800936307 It's been said before but it is great news for consumers that there's so much competition in the LLM space. If it's hard for any one player to get daylight between them & the 2nd best alternative, hopefully that means one monopolistic firm isn't going to be sucking up all the value created by these things

benchmarks dont show the quality or 'correctness' of the response though.

Karpathy gave his initial impression: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1891720635363254772 The pull quote is: The impression overall I got here is that this is somewhere around (OpenAI) o1-pro capability

The impression seems to be warranted: Grok 3 has directly jumpted to the top of all leaderboard categories in Chatbot Arena: https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard

In math it shares the top spot with o1 and is just a few points behind (well within errors). In creative writing it is basically ex-aequo with the latest ChatGPT 4o and in coding it's actually significantly ahead of everyone else and represents a new SOTA.

Seems like the opinion of someone who doesn't know that OpenAI cloned Anthropic's innovations of artifacts and computer use with their "canvas" and "operator".

Those are applied-ML level advancements, OpenAI has pushed model level advancements. xAI has never really done much it seemed except download the latest papers and reproduce them.

Don't forget that OpenAI was also following Anthropic's lead at the model level with o1. They may have been first with single-shot CoT and native tokens, but advancements from the product side matter, and OpenAI has not been as original there some would like to believe.

I think they just don’t like him for political views and they feed themselves with mainstream media

You should be more respectful of other people's intelligence. Not everyone who disagrees with you is brainwashed.

I used to play a lot of RPGs, and I believe that intelligence and wisdom are two separate traits. Not everyone who’s smart is actually wise.

For me, getting summaries of meetings is my favorite use case. Saves me from taking notes and I can extract next steps. It also helps me getting started with new content, kind of building the scaffolding of, say, a blog or social post. It still needs adaption and fine-tuning, but getting rid of a white page is a great help for me. And I use LLMs to play through ideas and headlines. I would normally do this with other…

Meeting summaries is the most hilarious thing these neural networks have produced. I don't know which NN model does Zoom use, but the text it produces is super funny :) . It basically can't parse half of the words, and then generate a random sentences using the remaining ones.

Agreed, it was super funny, especially if a song played in the beginning or if you switched languages. It has gotten way better, at least in my experience.

Off topic, but just in case: is there a good reference on how people actually use LLMs on a daily basis ? All my attempts so far have been pretty underwhelming: * when I use chatbots as search engines, I'm very quickly disappointed by obvious hallucinations * I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best, and "auto-complete on mushrooms" at worst * I rarely have use cases…

I reckon the ideal use case for chat LLMs at the moment is as a bridge for questions that are hard to search but easy to verify. For example, you have a plant you can't identify. Hard to Google search with words. "Plant with small red berries and...". You could reverse image search your photo of it, probably won't help either. Show an LLM the photo (some accept images now). LLM tells you what it thinks. Now you Googl…

The Seek app (by iNaturalist, another excellent app) also can identify plants based on a photo, and without the need for an internet connection, which is a critical feature IMO since you often want it when you’re out walking in the woods or whatever.
