Depends on who you ask.

For me it sounds good.

For Anthropic it might increase load and make them less money but give them better KPIs.

Someone might want to downvote you because you just state something which is very controversal and you do not add any arguments to your 'empty' comment.

Its hard to even have a discussion because someone else needs to give you enough content like ask you first why do you even think that.

So how do you define AI? LLMs? GenAI stuff?

What is 95%? Does it mean that these 5% are unable to disrupt industries or does it mean for you that these 5% will change the world as we know it but stil 95% of other AI stuff is useless?

I personally think that AI/AGI progress is faster than i expected it, I think its very useful already today, I also think we still need to build a lot of obvious stuff (like proper AI Agentic Platforms), more hardware, cheaper hardware etc. but the way quite clear, but some peple might think the current state is the AGI future people talk about it but I think we will only see this in 4/5-15 years and then it will have disrupted a lot.

Yes + the capability to use this 'world' to simulate outcomes. Thats exactly what LeCun and others are trying to do with world models.

NoMansSky generator misses the complexity of encoding more than just geometry and basic quests but thats one reason why google and others show you machine learning based 'game engines' which allow you to enter these worlds. They are not doing this to replace real game engines, the do this for world research.

The ultimate game is us. Our physics constants :D

So i see ICE killing people, I see USA splitting up kids from parents and you tell me fighting against a clear trend in our society is ridiculous?

What do you think took for Hilter to do genocide against Jews? Magic? No, it was hate and power and not a lot was neccessary to achieve this...

You should be embarrassed to comment without any argument, any point to make.

I def process more than I want.

Its def a spectrum.

In the easiest look at people like me who complain very quick if something is wrong like to warm to cold to sweaty etc. and others not even ackknowliding it at all

Re:Grok Build is open source on Friday July 17, 2026 @02:56AM (#48944134)
Are you joking?

You post Elon Musk as the source?

https://counterhate.com/research/grok-floods-x-with-sexualiz...

https://www.digital.uni-passau.de/en/beitraege/2026/ai-gener...

This rasies the question, whats your agenda? Are you Elon Musk? Are you affiliated with him? Are you bought to protect him? Are you a Elonion? aka Elon Musk follower?

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:30AM (#48932247)
They already send stuff like this up.
Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:15AM (#48932122)
We already send up a ton of satelites etc.

So what will reasonable be the payload we send up which makes Space-X a Trillion dollar company?

It will not be Datacenters for at least 50 or 100 years more.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:14AM (#48932114)
At this point Chinese. They release research papers and big open models.

Then Google. They often show human centric features in their conferences. Like taking better pictures of people with different skin color, helping blind people and giving you more control over ads (while acklowiding that this is a thing).

Then Anthropic for their transparency on their blog and certain things they say.

Then OpenAI. OpenAI def took a dive for me after the Apple alegiations.

Grok and xAI? bottom last. Not wanting to give Elon Musk my data. You know that you can't trust Chinese people but they might surprise you. But with Elon Musk? No character trait which indicates anything trust worthy.

Flip flopping left and right, switching from left wing to right wing (which feels calculated but badly executed) and single handingly hurting people and children around the globe (USAID, Gasturbines at his data centers etc.)

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:04AM (#48932053)
Man this dude is so unhinged...
Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:02AM (#48932035)
Nope its a lot easier to generate anything with grok than with others.

Its not magic here and is well known.

People online regularly discuss if/when grok gets more or less flexible again as they do react based on media outcry.

And no its a LOT harder to generate anything realted to porn or naked or sexual on any other big well known image generator.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:00AM (#48932021)
It was CSAM enough that the EU is investigating this.

Why are you muddling the topic?

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @05:00AM (#48932012)
There is a significant difference in generating porn on grok than trying to generate porn in any other model from a Frontierlab.

Don't try to play dumb.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:58AM (#48931993)
It started by school kids generating images of their peers.

Researchers and police investigated this -> experts.

People found out (like the researches and investigators) that its very easy to generate this type of content.

Elon Musk himself though absolutly knows about this and how easy is to generate porn. Its his thing, freedom before anything else. Why would anyone tell the richest person on the planet what he can or can't do.

Its disappointing to see that you don't think that the richest person on the planet doesn't need to do more to protect miss use but reframe it like this.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:50AM (#48931937)
Local protests didn't stop Colossus 1 or Colossus 2.

Local protests also didn't stop Space-X. People around his DCs or Space-X still suffer today.

He had to come up with some magic story. The Payload increased only due to his Starlink. But even then, the payload into space is basically non existend.

2025 was the year with the most payload and its only 5000t.

And for us as human beings, a DC in space is the worst case scenario. This will create a lot of stress on our atmosphere (potential, reentry poisning of our atmosphere with lithium and aluminium), co2 usage and the loose of real resources.

He will send metals into space to burn them later into our atmopshere. Limited resources we as a planet have.

And for what? For a DC? A DC which you can put in any dessert on our planet for cheap energy and not having any neighbours.

Only Edge DCs need low latency, your training clusters don't need low latency to end user, plenty of inferencing jobs don't need low latency either.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:43AM (#48931891)
The CSAM stuff went through german and EU news. BBC, SZ, FAZ, Tagesschau etc.

There was real impact on Tesla sales too.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:41AM (#48931882)
No they don't. They invest in R&D as they in general do.

There is a aanalysis of google engineers regarding the effort for having DC consteliations in space but its clealry research and clearly shows the difficulty of it.

Musk is the only one who needs this to keep the evaluation of Space-X.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:39AM (#48931862)
Payload into space is a very limited business.

This doesn't make Space-X such a high valued company at all.

And while Space-X is doing its thing, the rest of the world started to move too (china). So first mover advantage is disappearing.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:37AM (#48931837)
He had to bought twitter because he was legaly bind after he said too much stuff.

He then leveraged his buy as a propaganda platform.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:36AM (#48931824)
I think both sides have a genuin different view of their idology.

Right wing people idology is about themselves and humans are secondary.

Left wing people idology is about all of us as a whole and humans are critical.

The right wing person wants the immigrant to go home, or want them dead but the good immigrant (their partner, wife, friend whatever) is the positive exception. You need to fight the dehuminisation of right wing propaganda so that stuff like mobs and genoicde is not happening.

The left wing person wants to help everyone and might not allow the level of individuality which doesn't allow to help everyone.

Obama was hart on immigration control but you didn't see a ICE Police who wasn't trained well, hurting people left and right.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:30AM (#48931782)
In Europe the sales for Tesla cars drope significantly for quite a long time after Elon Musks Hitler Salute. That happened and it cost Tesla real money.

The CS stuff on Grok went through media here in germany too.

"Elon calls people all kinds of things almost every day. He's on the spectrum, we all know this, what's the big deal?"

Is this some kind of joke? You do understand that Elon Musk is not just someone and whatever you think it means that 'he is on the spectrum', he is the richest person on the planet. He literaly is responsible for satelites burning up in our atmosphere were researches just a few weeks ago mentioned that they are concered that all of that metal getting into our atmosphere could have real consequences for all of us (this is one example of many) and because Elon Musk has the 'do first accept the fallout later' attitude, he can affect all of us.

He had to buy twitter after he couln't keep his mouth shut and now he also has a big propaganda platform. You might like his right stuff more than whatever, but he changed the algorithm so that he showed up in your feed more often than he would otherwise. He also started grokpedia to 'adjust' opinions and we all know that they finetuned grok until it becamse mechahitler temporariily.

"it's what your people do."

Come on it has nothing to do with what specific people do, just look at the evidence.

And i have no clue what you mean with your floodgate. YT has not changed at all.

Regarding your other random points you try to make?

Biologiy wise science sees sex and gender on a spectrum btw. and yeah most people identify themselves as male or female. Who cares if 1% or less want to call themselves something different?

Immigration enforcement is not bad, but it makes a difference if you create a organization like ICE who kills human beings, separate kids from their parents and an overall country who accepts very cheap and illegal labor as slaves and flip flops agressivly of wanting to slaves and than wanting to throw out slaves. Especially from a country which is funded by immigrants.

Not sure about your Hamas thing, they genuin fight for freedom, plenty of actions they do are for sure not okay at all but this conflict is not about Hamas, its about Israel and Palestine people. Do you say "Hamas is bad and Israel is bad" or do you only point out some Hamas in concext of what you think is left wing politics?

The truth is that life is not that easy. Free speech is great until someone with more power missuses it. If the richest person on the planet is allowed to manipulate everyone just because they are rich and can buy twitter, this is a problem for all of us.

Re:Grok Build is open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:12AM (#48931642)
Having a strong opinion and communicating this doesn't mean people are not aware that others might not care.

But how does that matter? It doesn't.

Elon Musk is the richest person on the planet, bought himself a propaganda platform by accident, influenced a war, pushing his agendas across the planet.

Just because you don't care and plenty others don't either, doesn't mean people can't point this out and try to fight this as long as possible.

People were fighting the Nazis too and died for it. They at least tried to fight this.

I also do not follow your religious sect thing. Why would you bring up some 'hate christianity' then pointing this to 'new age christian sect'?

You have so much bias yourself its ironic

Re:The Graph That Should Be Front-Page News on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @06:39AM (#48918786)
I have spend so much time and energy in the last 6 years talking about it, trying to do stuff, isn't it sometimes valid to just respond like this to at least have a short outlet?

After all i didn't create an original comment, i leveraged a response instead.

Don't underestimate people not knowing were they share stuff by accident.

Creating Sitemaps, sharing it somewere public, putting the url in some 3th party service, server logs, some indirect path in javascript.

But if you never mention that url, it will not be found if not leaked by your server.

Re:The Graph That Should Be Front-Page News on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @08:04AM (#48905460)
But in this particular case its true and the fundamental issue we have?

"Ignorance is the fundamental lack of knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular subject."

Its not even an evaluation of my side.

I'm fine with accepting that people have to work, are busy with other things, struggle in live etc.

But the sentence in itself is not bad? And it directly references op.

The hallmark of climate activism is the ignorance of the common human being.

An Inconvenient Truth and other media formats are very well made.

Im not dismissing the specific usecase per-se. I dismiss the idea that Starlink is a net positive for society because of a very nice use case.

Starlink still produces a lot of co2 and they can poisen our atmopshere when burning up.

Re:Can We Understand How Large Language Models Reason? on Sunday July 12, 2026 @04:26PM (#48884434)
Compression is the trick. Its even philosophed about if compression = intelligence.

The LLM has to compress everyy question/prompt into its system. It does so by creating rules and ways of processing data (this can lead to AGI, world models or an architecture of sub architectures like an LLM + something else). So if it should respond in a way that only reasoning people can achieve, it might be able to learn a representation of what we call reasoning.

It read enough text in itself to even know about the concept of reasoning and how you would do that.

Even if this is only stochastic, it shouldn't be so devalued as your comment comes across.

Who says that we are doing anything more magic?

How is it fitting?

A brazilian favela is not a representation for a global satelite network which consumes and produces a lot of energy and co2 to be send up and poisens our atmosphere when theybreak down.

There was no evaluation of the obvouse shitty problem in such areas.

And as i said, metal tubes do break radio signals.
