Made some updates to https://t.co/d8cvMxQkSh

Among other things, added meshes for major asteroids. Here's a screen shot of #dactyl orbiting #Ida

Logarithmic depth buffer support also make things look prettier at long distances.

@PeteHegseth Was an era of heroes and great courage.

@2irl4u Interesting topic how AI will handle bad actors who use safety features (a car will not run over a person) as a means to commit crimes.

Perhaps a “panic button” that locks down the car and immediately notifies 911?

@deltaIV9250 The move to build out hardware compute was clearly the right decision

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

I've been at this for 10+ years. I really believe in what DC-Vax does, but it's really important that one’s entire life doesn’t revolve around $nwbo. Until they report solid revenue, it is still a high-risk investment.

It’s great to be excited about such a life-changing therapeutic, but for everyone’s sanity, there is more to life! Go out and enjoy the little things in life. Stop and smell the roses.

@freed_dfilan Almost every S-tier software company is having their employees use LLMs in their work flow. Their code base isn’t 100% LLM generated, but there is absolutely LLM generated code in several of my daily driver applications.

@polskicpu @tlakomy You don’t need to use the most expensive model. A $40/mo subscription is more than enough to get you a great coding tool.

[Tomasz Łakomy @tlakomy]

You do realize there’s no AI bubble and we’re not going back to writing code by hand, ever?

Hint: there’s a reason why you’re not writing assembly by hand

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@tlakomy The code/assembly analogy is dead on. ASM is only written nowadays in rare circumstances. It will eventually be the same with code.

SITUATION DETECTED: For the first time in internet history, agentic traffic has surpassed human traffic online, per Cloudflare Radar.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

Very expensive as far as AI tokens go, but it is actually quite reasonable if it’s good at what they’re designing it for. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities can literally cost billions in damage and losses, and if it’s able to root out security risks in platforms, $100k of token spend is trivial.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

I believe the breakthrough will come with humanoid robots that can interact with the world. A huge gap in an LLM's knowledge is the ability to go out into the real world and perform a basic physical test to see if a new idea is correct. Once robots can receive and execute measurement commands, this will change a lot.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@levelorbit @skcd42 I can second this. Build rate burn is very high for the equivalent task on composer 2.5. Still is great, and really looking forward to seeing the model grow.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@salbini81 @roderickchan @skcd42 Assuming you’ve just been using regular grok. Build is a different model designed for coding and has separate rate monitoring from regular grok 4.3.

Or maybe you just typed it after they just reset the rates.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@skcd42 Much appreciated!

Question: does composer and build draw from the same rate limit pool or does each one have their own rate limits?

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@IterIntellectus This has been going on for a while. Makes sense those who know how to build AI would leverage it to improve their own product.

We are approaching a recursive loop where human interaction to improve AI will be minimal.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

Taxes are already baked into the output: if AI increases the production of goods and services, that output will drive higher tax revenue. Adding an extra “just for the sake of AI” tax would only slow development.

It is hard to predict, but I believe the latter would actually result in less tax revenue than simply letting the builders build.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

I think there is a market for some kind of HUD VR product, but very few people want to walk around in public looking like an idiot in their own world talking to an LLM.

I see the company succeeding at this creating a device that has seamless built-in apps that solve practical problems in the field.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@emollick They are incredible tools.

[Jon Kakaley @JonKakaley]

@adamshuaib The caliber of problems you have to solve to achieve any of these things really humbles you.
