Grok 4.5 is the truth seeking leader that other AIs can aspire to become

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@beffjezos I say both energy and mass, as they are separate scarcities for practical purposes, despite being technically “equivalent”, as described by Einstein’s famous equation.

Our solar system has only a tiny percentage of non-solar atoms with which to build things.

[Yun-Ta Tsai @yunta_tsai]

I would like to offer a counterargument that LLMs (or maybe AIs) cannot jump.

Before AlphaGo, the AI field had the same argument for Go: there are 2.08 × 10^170 possibilities, nothing fits in the computer, and there is no way AI could possibly predict the outcome of the next 50-60 moves.

It turned out most moves do not lead to a win. Combined with clever use of Monte Carlo Tree Search, the sampling becomes quite manageable. The same can be said for physics, where equations are just another form of compression.

Einstein did not start with relativity. That was not his first paper. He spent years understanding the properties of light before concluding that the speed of light is constant across the universe, which unlocked his discovery of relativity. During his thought process, he also interacted with other physicists (e.g., sub-agents) to enrich his thinking.

Currently we have not run an agent for years of compute. The sessions are often fragmented and disoriented, so every new session is almost a fragmented memory of the past, but it may not be for long.

Starship is evolving rapidly

[Samuel Cardillo @CardilloSamuel]

and yes, i would say that @elonmusk mission with @SpaceXAI is going well. the results definitively shows how Grok 4.5 training pushed even further to become as neutral as possible and it does feel good to know there is at least 1 model out there that is within that neutral zone.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

Grok 4.5 by @SpaceXAI is the most neutral AI model out there. Almost perfectly balanced between the political Left and Right.

No other model comes even close to its neutrality. Fantastic achievement, and much harder to pull off than most would realize!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Grok is the most politically neutral and objectively truth-seeking AI

Tesla self-driving enables safer mobility for senior citizens

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

Grok 4.5 with Grok Build has tied for the #1 spot on the SWE-Atlas-QnA benchmark, matching Codex GPT-5.6 with an impressive 84 score.

Another strong milestone for xAI's rapidly advancing coding capabilities.

BREAKING: Starlink has provided new emergency connectivity support to Armenia. 🇦🇲

• 56 additional kits will be deployed by Armenia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Rescue Service to provide connectivity during natural disasters and emergencies.

• 110 Starlink terminals already connect thousands of students across Armenia’s remote schools.

By “this” he means scamming 🤣🤣

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

He might literally love scamming more than any human alive!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

He takes scamming to a whole new level

The Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment – the real antidote to Rousseau and Voltaire

The French Enlightenment and the Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment happened simultaneously, in the same century, reading the same books, arguing about the same questions. They reached completely opposite conclusions. One produced the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution. The other produced the guillotine. This is the most important civilizational fork in modern history.

1. The French Enlightenment begins with the assumption that human beings can be improved by reason – that if you strip away the corrupting institutions of Church, tradition, and inherited authority, the natural goodness underneath will organize itself into a just society. This sounds like progress. It is a fantasy with a body count. Every attempt to implement it has required, at some point, a Committee of Public Safety to handle the people who turned out not to be naturally good enough.

2. The Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment begins with the opposite assumption: human beings are what they are, not what they could be if properly enlightened. Hume grounds morality in human nature as it actually operates – sympathy, habit, sentiment, the slow accumulation of social trust. Smith shows that self-interest, properly channeled, produces collective benefit without a planner. Neither man is building a utopia. Both are building with the actual material available.

3. Burke is the direct refutation, written in real time. He published Reflections on the Revolution in France in 1790 – before the Terror, predicting it precisely – because he understood that institutions are not obstacles to human flourishing, they are its precondition. They contain accumulated wisdom — the knowledge of the dead — that cannot be recovered once destroyed. Pull society apart to improve it and you don’t get the General Will. You get Robespierre.

4. The American founders read Burke, Hume, Smith, and Montesquieu – the Frenchman who looked at England and understood what France was missing. They built a system that takes human nature as given — self-interested, power-hungry, tribal — and constructs institutions to contain those tendencies rather than assume they disappear once the right people are in charge. Checks and balances are not a design flaw. They are what you build when you don’t believe in philosopher-kings.

5. 1776 versus 1789. Same Enlightenment, same century, same vocabulary of liberty and reason. One produces a constitutional republic that has survived two and a half centuries of stress, civil war, and upheaval. The other produces, in sequence: the Terror, Napoleon, 1848, the Commune, and eventually — via Marx, who was a Frenchman in spirit if not in birth — the entire catastrophe of the twentieth century. The difference was not intelligence or intention. It was the starting assumption about human nature. Get that wrong and everything that follows is wrong with it.

6. The guillotine is not the Revolution’s failure. It is its logical conclusion. If man is naturally good and the system is corrupt, then whoever seizes the system in the name of natural goodness is licensed to do anything. The General Will cannot be wrong. Those who resist it are not opponents – they are enemies of nature itself.

7. The real antidote to Rousseau and Voltaire was never a better French philosopher. It was a different civilizational tradition – one that builds with human beings as they are; that treats inherited institutions as repositories of wisdom rather than obstacles to progress; that distributes power rather than concentrating it in whoever currently claims to know the General Will. That tradition was built in Edinburgh, London, and Philadelphia. It is currently under sustained assault — from exactly the same ideas, in exactly the same form, with exactly the same confidence — that Burke watched demolish France in 1789. He was right then. He is right now.
