Yeah, all those tasks I found Grok Bot lacking at were at least slightly relate to coding. Other than that it's great and I ma using it for more and more tasks both for my company and personal.

Yeah it's a bet. They shouldn't be bailed out if it doesn't work out but they should enjoy the benefits if it does. Maybe a bi-partisan bill that states both sides?

There will be 0 consequences. No one reads their work anyway. It's just used for ideological purposes. Distinguished professor Gabriel Zucman says taxes for the rich are too low and you, as a poor person, are paying 100% rate according to his methodology.

It's like a religion. If those guys were asked to make predictions on anything they would do no better than an average Joe.

The killer feature is having the best model behind it. Not so easy to copy. Grok Bot tries to compete with a really good harness/infra and the team is doing a great job but having Grok as a model behind id is a huge disadvantage.

Only for big corps. Small businesses still need to bear the compliance cost. Very EU style: stick it to the small guy while protecting their buddies in big corporations.

I prefer AI doing that over police using their judgement. AI is better and will get better. Reckless driving is a huge problem. Imo it's an emergency situation so I am willing to accept about any measures that leads to getting crazies/speeders/phone watching idiots off the roads. Bring SkyNet if you have to. Solving this is the highest priority.

The way things are going you will be able to run your favorite flavor of Linux on those pretty soon. It will be the best of both worlds: the best hardware and a good OS. Hopefully Apple doesn't take steps to block it.

At reasonable expected returns stock market will 5x in about 18-19 years. Anthropic has a lot of time to get to that 10T.

He aligns with AfD on issues where AfD is with majority of the population (stopping mass migration, some remigration) but not on all policies which make them far right. Also more than 30% of Germans support AfD these days. Hard to call that "far" anything.

>>Migration levels are controlled by government and are generally based on the needs of the society being governed. I thought the rules had always been pretty strict on getting into most western countries.

In theory, not in practice. If they are "controlled by the government" then illegal immigrants should be deported. What is happening is that a lot of people come illegally, often against wishes of local population. That's why it's "mass".

Speaking of EU (as Musk is often criticized for expressing his views on EU countries): majority of people support some level of remigration. Vast majority supports stopping illegal migration. Big majority is against migration from Islamic countries. Instead we get all of it at mass scale against wishes of the people. Musk is with the majority here but against ruling elite. His view is well in the middle of what people in EU support.

If you think Musk is far right you will have a really bad time in coming years. Musk holds very few far right views in comparison to parties very close to power in many EU countries for example.

He is against mass immigration, especially from Islamic countries. That is a very mainstream view though. There is nothing 'far' about it.

Maybe in principle but as practice in many countries show governments suck at planning. We need more electricity everywhere in Western world and governments failed big time even though there were signs hard to ignore - not only compute but also electric cars.

At least make it easy to build powerplants for determined private enterprises to speed-up progress where governments fail.

I would say they are split. Users clearly capture a ton. Anthropic is IPO'ing although probably at lower than initially hoped for. Big players are making big bets (datacenters, money on training). I would say right now:

-workers (employees) make absolute killing

-users of the product make absolute killing

-capital is making risky bets that may pay-off but for now it's unclear if they will and if so if it's going to be fast enough to be worth it

You know those companies are publicly owned and big % of American public owns shares in them? Additionally Google employs some 100k people in US and almost as many in Europe. Those are mostly very good jobs as well.

The whole anti-datacenters sentiments is stupid but "profits go to a handful of Americans" is just pants of fire kind of take.

USA makes it very hard to immigrate legally so probably many people don't express "desire" to immigrate there because that's not even an option for them.

Amazing to see Elon making his childhood dreams reality. It's something to behold. I hope we don't lose that spirit. The amount of negativity is very worrying. One of the coolest tech demos in 2026 and it's on the 3rd page of HN morning after because of the downvotes.

Not everything is about politics. Stop running nice things with it.

I really like it. It would be nice to have a filter though that filters out politics. "Free Palestine" on multiple birds ruin the experience.

I think turning off all social media would help if others do that as well but as an individual action it's likely to cut you off even more.

It's happening in other countries as well. Any suggestions what could be done about it?

The whole point of this problem is that there are no bounds on integer size.

The whole point of complexity theory is that there are no bounds on input size.

>>Where will they get those resources for themselves? From the job that they don't have anymore, because of AI?

From goods and services they provide to others - now at lower cost.

>>There is no reason to assume that the AI employment catastrophe will end with coders.

It will not. It will also create a lot of new jobs. Stuff will get cheaper which means you will need to work less on average to sustain the same standards of living.

>> Instead of paying programmers, they'll pay the owners of data centers.

Yes but less. Paying less means more is left.

Stuff will be cheaper to make which means raising life quality for everyone. It always was like that and it continue to be like that as long as we don't abolish capitalism.

>>the owners of AI infrastructure will continue to get rich while literally everyone else gets poorer

This didn't happen with previous technological revolutions, isn't happening now and won't happen as long as we don't mess it up with preventing competition and access to technology.

Meta has apps billions of people use every day. If AI included in those is good enough they will just uninstall (or never open again) ChatGPT one. It's not true in the other direction.

Yeah, especially non-coding benchmarks which for Meta might be more important long term than coding ones as they are going to deploy it to billions of non-programmers.

If AI is cheaper than intellectual workers the distribution will take care of itself. No regulation needed.

Why do you think you got high paying cushy and interesting job? It's because others need the service you provided and couldn't do it themselves. That's why several people needed to work to support your salary.

Post AI they will not need to spend so much resources for your job. They will have more for themselves. It's good for vast majority of people.

Techies and intellectuals had it disproportionately good. The remaining 80% still needed to do hard jobs at much lower pay. AI will equalize access to knowledge and intellectual work. It will be a better world overall for most. It will be worse for a privileged group.

>>A functioning democratic government would protect those whose livelihoods are at risk, because the instability of mass unemployment is more damaging to society than possibly demotivating a handful of billionaires.

Unemployment is still very low and there are tons of jobs we are not doing right now because of lack of people and capital. Those just won't be cushy high paying desk jobs.

Ok now you are being dumb on purpose.

The world where programmers and frankly most intellectual workers enjoyed privileged position and high salaries is ending. Some will survive most will have to adjust, start new careers, possibly never come close to income levels they enjoyed.

I was part of it in online poker world. You needed 2 functioning braincells to make 6 figures while playing a few hours a day back in 2005/2006. It got more and more difficult from there. First it got guys "living their life" while hustling on the side who thought it's an easy mode forever and didn't even bother to learn new tools. Then it turned previously good players into marginal grinders and then only a small group of winners remained. Many went to different/easier pastures - private games, heavy game selection at (super) high stakes. Most though lost their income and with it years of life that now seemed wasted in front of the computer.

Among my friends I've seen suicides (two), lost families (more than two), despair and poverty (too many to count). There are also positive stories - people who started doing something else, adjusted their expectation and are now living happy life even though their income will never be close to what their experienced in their early twenties.

In online poker - instead of Fable - we had ever developing tools. Databases, HUDs, HUDs connected to databases, auto-seating scripts (where a script looks for "donks" and auto seats you at the table when they seat) and then bots and solvers. I was on the frontier lab side I guess as the author of the most popular solver when they first came out. Now Fable is coming after my edge.

I am still a tech optimist. I think it will be a better and more abundant world at the end of it. There is still a lot of jobs we are not doing now because we don't have enough people. The transition is going to hurt though, especially those who don't have energy to start from scratch.

Gambling for living taught me no income stream is forever. Especially lucrative ones are going to be competed for and will dry out. Live below your means, try to save money, don't compete for status. It was always a good advice but it never hits until it's you who it applies to.
