ELON DODGED MUSK

TESLA AND ROCKET ARE MY INSPIRATIONS INVENTIONS

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

xAI models now support Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on OpenRouter

Developers can now use:
• Grok 4.3
• Grok 4.20
• Grok Build 0.1
with Zero Data Retention enabled

This means requests aren’t retained by the provider, making it a strong option for privacy-sensitive and enterprise workloads

Everyone tells me that Elon Musk is a fascist because he could "solve world hunger" for a mere 3 billion dollars, but MacKenzie Bezos has burned through 26 billion dollars of her ex husband's money and accomplished absolutely nothing of note.

Grok 4.5, based on our 1.5T V9 foundation model, with Cursor data added in supplemental training, is now in private beta at SpaceX & Tesla. Early evals show performance close to, perhaps exceeding Opus.

RL is continuing to significantly improve the model, and the Grok Build harness gets better every day.

Nice work by all those involved!

Completely trained from scratch new models will be released by @SpaceX every month this year.

Après avoir vu Elon répondre au Programme alimentaire mondial de l'ONU qui lui réclamait 6 milliards pour "résoudre la faim dans le monde", j'ai compris quelque chose que je vais essayer de prouver ici.

Désormais, méfiez-vous de TOUT le monde qui achète de la sympathie publique en signant des chèques.

Reprenons l'histoire d'Elon, parce qu'elle est parfaite. 2021. Le patron du PAM, David Beasley, le tague publiquement : "2 % de ta fortune et tu résous la faim." Elon ne dit pas non. Il dit une seule chose, et c'est la chose la plus saine qu'un milliardaire ait jamais dite à une ONG : "Décrivez-moi exactement comment 6 milliards résolvent la faim. Compta open-source, que le public voie où va chaque dollar. Et je vends du Tesla immédiatement."

Réponse de l'ONU : un plan à 6,6 milliards pour nourrir 42 millions de personnes… pendant un an.

Vous voyez le problème ? Ils n'ont jamais pu répondre à la vraie question. Parce que la réponse n'existe pas. Le don ne résout rien : il nourrit douze mois, et la faim revient en janvier. C'est un abonnement, pas une solution. Beasley demandait un robinet permanent et l'appelait "charité".

La charité moderne, c'est ça : un puits sans fond déguisé en vertu. Elle ne touche jamais les causes profondes — la gouvernance, les institutions, la corruption, l'absence de marchés — parce que toucher les causes profondes tuerait l'industrie. Une ONG qui résout son problème se suicide. Son incitation, c'est que le problème dure.

Et l'argent ? Il ne va presque jamais à ceux qui sont censés le recevoir. Il s'évapore en couches de logistique, de salaires d'ONG, d'overhead, de "renforcement des capacités", de conférences à Genève. Vous donnez 100, le bénéficiaire en voit une fraction. Le reste fait vivre la classe professionnelle de la compassion.

Et puis il y a l'aile "intellectuelle" du truc : l'effective altruism. La version QI 145 du virtue signaling. Calculer froidement le bien marginal par dollar, "earn to give", sauver le futur. Le poster boy du mouvement s'appelait Sam Bankman-Fried. Il a détourné des milliards de clients en expliquant que c'était pour le bien de l'humanité. 25 ans de prison. Toute la ramification autour — fondations, think tanks, gourous de la moralité quantifiée — a découvert que l'altruisme optimisé est l'alibi parfait pour la fraude. Quand tu te crois en mission cosmique, voler devient un détail comptable.

Maintenant, le retournement. Devinez la SEULE forme de charité avec des preuves dures, des RCT propres, qui marche vraiment ?

Donner du cash. Brut. Random. À un village. Sans condition, sans plan, sans ONG qui t'explique comment vivre.

Étude Egger et al., Econometrica 2022 : 1 000 $ donnés à 10 500 ménages dans 653 villages au Kenya. Résultat : pour chaque dollar injecté, ~2,5 dollars d'activité économique locale. Quasi zéro inflation. Les gens achètent, les commerçants embauchent, le grain circule, le meunier rouvre plus tard. ~80 % de l'argent reste dans le marché local.

Et c'est là l'ironie totale, presque cruelle : le seul "acte de charité" qui fonctionne fonctionne parce que ce n'est PAS de la charité. C'est juste… du capital qu'on laisse couler dans une économie. Vous n'aidez pas les gens en leur donnant un plan. Vous les aidez en amorçant la pompe et en les laissant être des agents économiques. La charité qui marche, c'est juste du capitalisme déclenché de force.

Donc voilà ma règle. Méfiez-vous de quiconque achète votre estime avec un don public. Le chèque visible n'est pas une preuve de vertu, c'est une transaction : de la sympathie contre de l'argent, payée par les pauvres qui restent pauvres pour que le donateur reste admiré.

La vraie philanthropie ne pose pas pour la photo. Elle construit des produits, des entreprises, des emplois, des marchés. Elle amorce la pompe et s'en va.

Le reste, c'est de la cocaïne pour riches sans créativité.

Happy birthday to my wonderful son. @elonmusk has given me 55 years of joy.
It’s so much fun to celebrate with family and friends.

Elon Musk reveals the moment his son Saxon left an entire sushi restaurant speechless

"I was living in L.A., and I took my older boys out for lunch to Sugarfish, which is a very kind of uptight sushi restaurant. In fact, on the menu of the restaurant, it says, do not ask for soy sauce, because the chef has put the right amount of soy sauce."

"So, like, extremely strict sushi restaurant. And so the waiter is going around asking everyone what they want and then it comes to Saxon and Saxon says I'll have a cheeseburger."

"And the waiter takes a moment to recover because no one ever asked for a cheeseburger at this very strict sushi restaurant. It took him like 30 seconds to realize he'd just been asked for a cheeseburger, because you're not even allowed to ask for soy sauce."

"So then when he finally recovered, he said, we don't have cheeseburgers. And Saxon goes at the top of his voice, what? Like, what kind of restaurant doesn't have cheeseburgers? He says, fine, I'll have a hamburger."

If they genuinely think that the USAID cuts have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands, or millions, shouldn't they also be highly upset with Mackenzie Scott for not saving all these people?

The cost of the Aid cuts to Africa is something like $5 billion a year, and they claimed that already hundreds of thousands to millions have died. $26 billion could have saved them and more.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Neuralink is needed to solve the super low & lossy output bandwidth of humans.

Our input bandwidth, thanks to vision, is many orders of magnitude higher than our output bandwidth, but could also be greatly improved.

By addressing these bandwidth limitations and greatly increasing our effective cognitive capacity, human-AI symbiosis will be far better, improving the probability of a great outcome for humanity in the future.
