Nobody complains about @claudeai mind. Fable is still in a class of its own. Six months of X/Reddit is almost entirely about usage limits, not quality. Raise real usable hours and you take the market. The model is not the bottleneck. The meter is.

Not the first time.

The Hindu’s front page today carries an unconditional apology
Same paper, on the record before:
2017 Elphinstone stampede — withdrew “dying woman molested” https://t.co/xCiVSfjkKi
2014 — Editor-in-Chief apologised to Ajit Doval https://t.co/b2sQaSBdPO

[N. Ram @nramind]

Apology -- This is a screenshot of the front page of today’s Delhi edition of The Hindu. The apology that appears on this page has been published on the front page of all the editions of The Hindu.

DJ was banned for all religious events lately @tathvamasi6

Stop spreading Needless hate.

We don't want DJ for Ganesh or Moharram or any other reason. It's noise pollution & we don't want it.

You play DJ in ur house and stop bothering people

its an echo chamber. Next bubble for Grok 4.7 and the cycle continues. Twitter is algo bubble.

[Ryan Orhan @rynorhn]

some of the fable 5.1 takes on here are genuinely insane.

this is an exceptional frontier model, the cost-performance is ridiculous, and somehow people are bending over backwards to explain why it isn’t impressive.

i swear half the timeline just posts whatever they think their audience wants to hear.

especially when it comes to anthropic.

and that guy in particular has become so openly pro-openai at this point that he might as well put the marketing title in his bio.

the anthropic hate has become its own engagement farming industry.

[Kalyan | UPSCVerse @UPSCVerse]

I have a question what is happening to the training of llms ? Isn’t half the content available is created by ai ?

[Kalyan | UPSCVerse @UPSCVerse]

@Substack and @AmazonKindle any one created a connection to send all unread book marks in substack to kindle ? @grok @readwise ?

@iamjoezeng @SpaceXAI Thats huge budget, wish the Grok plan is 200$ I think there will be a tectonic shift in no of subscriptions.

[Dimm @thisisdimm]

Over the past two months, I’ve written several dozen posts about Grok’s usage limits

At first, there was very little support. I was criticized for simply complaining, for making an issue out of nothing, or for supposedly not using Grok “the right way"

Today, the situation is different.
On X, you can now find hundreds - and likely even thousands - of posts from users describing the same problem

I believe that when you don’t like something, the right response is to do something concrete and try to change it

So I used one of Grok’s own features - Grok Build - to create a petition addressed to @elonmusk, @Grok, and the @SpaceXAI team, built around a few core requests:

👉Give Grok Chat its own sufficiently generous usage allowance
👉Guarantee a minimum level of access to every major feature
👉Give SuperGrok subscribers timely access to new Grok models
👉Make usage limits transparent, understandable, and predictable

We are not asking for unlimited usage.
We are asking for SuperGrok to feel like a premium subscription.

If you agree, please sign and share 👇

A small improvement: memory is now simpler and more powerful. Enjoy!

[Kalyan | UPSCVerse @UPSCVerse]

@SpaceXAI @grok @elonmusk in the name of god. Give a closure to the tickets. Good or bad yes or no. Keeping the paid customer in limbo is the worse customer experience. And the call center automation is one more dumb idea. At least ai based responses something anything will do.

[Kalyan | UPSCVerse @UPSCVerse]

@ColdShalamov Trust me they are so bad at customer support, I’m seriously concerned about their ability to handle this. And on x they hardly give visibility to problems @elonmusk and @SpaceXAI need to wrok on support system for the expanding tribe.
