Extremely troubling

[Maye Musk @mayemusk]

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.
His cake is a rocket and a moon base 🎂🎂🎉

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

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.

Exactly.

And they cannot cite a single name of someone who died out of the “millions” they falsely claim have died. Not a single name!

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

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.

"To anyone I have offended, I just want to say I reinvented electric cars and I am sending people to Mars on a Rocketship, did you think I was also gonna be a chill normal dude?"

[Syd Steyerhart @SydSteyerhart]

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.

Happy Birthday Elon 🎂

YOU are the love of humanity ❤️

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

Grok Imagine Video has become the clear leader in @vercel AI Gateway, now amounting to ~50% of videos generated by developers 🤯
