Oracle is going to bear the brunt of this. If OpenAI can't make a LOT of money, how are they going to pay Oracle?

Is it anti-Musk to point out Musk makes wild promises that rarely come true...robotaxis at scale, xAI creating MacroHard etc etc.

Don't forget MacroHard

Were these engineers fired and replaced with AI? Article implies they brought back retired engineers.

How many people use grok professionally? Compared to claude code/codex?

Chinese and Russian intel agencies can set up American shell corporations and buy all of our personal data....but using a model to secure my customer? Well...no...you can't have that.

This is a gift to Anthropic. Our model is so good the US government banned it...Oh, and we're doing an IPO soon.

Elon doesn't need the GPUs for macrohard?

That doesn't make sense. Presumably AI search costs more

In my opinion, being "Not American" or "Not Chinese" is not a good business model long-term.

Exactly..

What happens when the capability of American models far exceeds the capability of non-American models? Wouldn't companies using American models have a huge advantage?

doing much outside of 'grok is this true'

Hey...don't forget "grok is this person jewish(hint hint)"...or..just "grok do your thing"

OkCupid and Match do not have to pay a financial penalty

Company X sued by company Y shouldn't automatically translate to company X did a bad thing. Companies get sued all the time.

Why does DoD need claude? I thought xAI was "less woke" and far better than claude

Why is it wrong for US diplomats to advocate for a policy that clearly benefits US companies?

and that's just my doordash order..

Wasn't most of this spending going to ORCL?

Remember this press conference?

yeah they should get up on stage and hold hands

It's not complicated. LIDAR hardware was in short supply during COVID. Elon obviously couldn't slow down production and sink the inflated stock price.

He going to fix this by having grok redefine "widespread"

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/22/musk-tesla-robotaxis-us-expa...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the company’s robotaxis will be “widespread” in the U.S. by the end of 2026.

They would rather accept someone else’s structure, despite having to force fit it into their product, rather than taking the time to start from the goal and work backwards to create the perfect suit for their idea. Like an architect blindly accepting another architect’s blueprints and applying them regardless of the context, the needs, the terrain, the new technological possibilities. We decided to remove complexity not by sharpening our mental models around the products we build, but by buying a one size fits all design and applying it everywhere. That is not simplification. That is intellectual surrender.

Sorry, i don't buy this. There is a very good reason to use tried and tested frameworks. Am I "intellectually surrendering" when I use a compiler/language/framework that has a great track record?

And how is it not "intellectual surrender" to let the AI do the work for you?

Remember...they can make you use touch id...they can't make you give them your password.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it.

And? Donald Trump's presidency has made it clear that "this is bad for our country" isn't a sufficient argument.

What's to stop president AOC from pulling the clearances of everyone working for SpaceX?

Amazon's entire business model depends on importing cheap Chinese made goods so this isn't a real surprise.

In short, Google owns the river and sells the boats, and the public built a wall around it.

That would be a monopoly if there was only 1 river in the whole world.

How else is grok going to generate semi-naked images of minors?

Speaking of fintech

Mr. Huang argued that restricting exports of Nvidia’s chips would push Chinese companies to develop more powerful alternatives.

This is so disingenuous. You think they'll stop developing local alternatives if you sell them your high end chips? That won't even stop Google, much less a command economy like China.

THe "leak" is just Sam Altman trying to put out the "OpenAI is spending a gazillion $$ and has no path to profitability" fires.
