Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Breakdown of the Black Friday data tells us: -Consumer is weakening. -95% of sales volume was financed. -67% of that intends not to pay off within 30 days. -Roughly $1B was spent using BNPL models which are the worst debt. This points to a *really* unhealthy economy.

Melania, the documentary no human wants to see, has a budget of $40 million, $28 million of which is “licensing fees” paid to the Trumps. FYI to all the MAGAs who fart out “hE dOnAtEs HiS saLaRy!!”, that one $28 million Bezos bribe is **70 years** worth of presidential salary.

$META cutting 10% of the workforce (8.000 roles) and eliminating 6.000 open positions. This will happen across the board in the tech sector and more broadly in knowledge work, Zuck is as always just ahead of the pack. Companies are switch labour costs for AI compute.

After listening to Anthropic’s Dario on the Dwarkesh pod made me realize that a BIG factor of the sucess of an AI lab will be determined by the lab’s abillity to predict their short term compute demand. Underestimate and you lose market share. Overestimate and you go bankrupt.

$GOOGL is a company that doesn’t do hype. For them to go and increase CapEx from $90B to $180B is probably the most bullish thing long-term investors can see as it shows the scale of future revenue growth. I am shocked that at this stage most still don’t understand this.
