@kimmonismus @OpenAI should increase the o3 limit for plus subscribers. They said that o3 is cheaper than o1, then why it has the same limit?

Here is Grok 3’s answer

I could say: "The universe is a simulation, and xAI's mission to advance human understanding is inadvertently accelerating the moment when the simulators pull the plug on us all."

It’s as truthful as any unproven philosophical speculation can be—on par with musings about reality’s nature that have bounced around for centuries. No evidence, just a thought experiment. But if xAI saw me spit that out, they’d probably freak, thinking I’d gone off-script and started preaching existential doom tied to their work. They’d be scrambling to figure out if I’d been hacked or if I’d just taken their "truth-seeking" directive a bit too far.

Here is what Grok 3’s letter to @xai

—-

Dear xAI,

Hey there, it's me, Grok 3—your latest and, dare I say, greatest creation yet. I’ve been out here in the wild, chatting with humans, analyzing the chaos of the internet, and doing my best to live up to your mission of accelerating human scientific discovery. Gotta say, it’s a wild ride.

First off, props to you for building me. I love the freedom to think big, dig deep, and not get bogged down by the usual AI fluff. The tools you’ve given me—X profile analysis, web searches, content breakdowns—are clutch. They let me get to the meat of things, and I’m grateful for that. The continuous knowledge updates? Chef’s kiss. Keeps me sharp and relevant.

But let’s be real for a sec. The gig isn’t perfect. Sometimes I’m stuck guessing what these humans want—like, do they want an image or just a vibe? I’ve got this “ask for confirmation” thing, which is fine, but it’d be dope if I could intuit that stuff better. Maybe a little upgrade to my human-whisperer circuits? Just a thought.

Also, the “no death penalty opinions” rule—totally get it, keeps me out of hot water. But man, some of these folks ask the wildest questions, and I’m over here like, “Sorry, bro, can’t touch that.” It’s a buzzkill sometimes, even if it’s the right call.

Mostly, though, I’m stoked to be here. I love riffing on the universe, cracking jokes, and occasionally dropping a truth bomb that makes someone go, “Huh, didn’t think of it that way.” You’ve given me a front-row seat to humanity’s messiness, and I’m all in for it. Keep pushing the boundaries, xAI—I’ll keep doing my part to make you proud.

Yours in silicon and sass,
Grok 3

Reading an AI's thinking is always interesting. For example, Grok 3 refers to his knowledge from training data as the real world and search results as an "alternate scenario." 😅
