Wen grok 4.8 @elonmusk?

bitcoin this week:
- dipped under $75k on friday
- spot etfs bled $430m thursday and $412m friday
- the biggest corporate holder's average cost is $75,451. price is sitting right on it
- russia opens retail $btc buying nov 17, capped at 300k rubles a year per broker
which of these actually matters?

If you’re anti AI, you’re anti humanity.

The only hope left is USA achieving AGI while Trump is still in office.

America has handed its future and technological edge to China.

China has to be celebrating. They got a massive step closer to winning the race for AI hegemony and first to AGI.
The dems in the US fail to understand the importance of the battle for AI dominance.

i think in a few years sms login codes will be gone from most apps.
your phone number is the weakest lock on your accounts.
one convincing call to your carrier and someone else gets your codes, then your password resets.
move the important ones to an authenticator app or a security key.
your bank will get there eventually. your account might not.

what to choose:
- astra is a good autonomous worker but adds lots of slop
- opus 5.5 is great but very lazy & stops at every step
- grok is a good model for real-world applications but usage is horrible on the $200 plan
i got max plans for all 3 & I'm not sure which one to cut

sold some of my apple when it started dropping after earnings. trimmed alphabet too.
what i'm not doing is going short.
tech already sold off hard. one headline about iran or something trump announces after the midterms and a 5x short gets wiped in a day.
i'd rather sit in cash and watch than show up late to that party.

crypto apps went "zero fee".
no trading fee.
no deposit fee.
no account fee.
just a buy price a little above the market and a sell price a little below it.
the fee didn't go away. it moved into the price.
somehow that feels les transparent.

an nvidia b300 rack sells for about $600k. in china, one traded for $2.8m last month.
now nvidia is telling cloud providers that at least 51% of their customers can't be chinese.
everyone's calling ai a bubble. bubbles don't trade at 4.7x in the one country that can't buy them.

I don’t get people who buy a iPhone Duo and settle for 256GB. You spend more than 2 bands on a phone and then you cheap out on storage space? I went with 1TB; think it’s sweet spot

tested agent-desktop vs cua driver on my macbook. same model, apps running in the background.
drag: agent-desktop 3/3, cua 0/3
forms: cua 3/3, agent-desktop 2/3
notes: both 3/3
hover: both 1/3
sending a chat message: 2.2s vs 7.9s
no winner. pick the driver per task.

october: nvidia -10%. the consumer staples etf +10.9%, its best month since launch in 1998.
wall street sold the future to buy toothpaste.
nobody stopped using ai. people just stopped paying any price for it. i'll take the dip over the detergent.

Will be interesting to wake up tomorrow and see everything we learn on the $2.5B hack tomorrow. Frontier AI really cooked crypto

Unpopular opinion: I don’t mind AI slop. 99% of content humans produce is way worse yet we don’t call it human slop

My @grok @bot is pretending there is no usage left so that he has an excuse not to work. What is this?

my grok @bot just saved me $1,000+
my telco bill: 2 internet lines, 2 mobile plans. the bot went through all of it.
one message. i hit send. they called back with the offer.
what came out:
- switching fee waived
- one internet line ~€9/month cheaper, the other stays as is
- disney+ gone. a sub i had completely forgotten, price had crept from ~€11 to ~€16
- both mobile plans cheaper + an extra 15% loyalty discount, for good
- bonus stays on top
~€39/month. ~€469/year. thats ~$523 a year, ~$1,046 in two years.
the flow:
oct 26
- finance bot reads my telco bills and order mails, tags every numbe
