Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI.
Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.
You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind).
This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal.
In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.
No other company can yet do this.
The @NASAArtemis crew captured this view of the Moon eclipsing the Sun yesterday. The three "stars" to the lower right of the Moon are actually planets. The middle one has a slightly red tint.
That's Mars.
In case you missed it: @JAXA_en’s Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission arrived at Tanegashima Space Center on April 1 🚀
On board is NASA's MEGANE instrument, which will study the composition of Mars’ moons, Phobos & Deimos – and help uncover their origins: https://t.co/VSv7PIIUvu
NASA has given approval to begin implementing its project to support @ESA's Rosalind Franklin mission. Scheduled to launch in 2028, this Mars rover will be the first to search for signs of past or present life under the Red Planet’s surface. https://t.co/Q7w0Lmvtnf
Your statement is true if goods & services output doesn’t rise dramatically due to AI/robots, but false if it does.
In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff.
If AI/robots massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. Prices are simply the ratio of goods & services output to number of dollars.
Grok 4.3 Beta is insanely good and now comes with powerful new tools that are super helpful for everyday use:
• Create clean slides, graphs, images and dashboards
• Pull real-time data and images directly from the web
• Run smooth multi-step workflows
• Analyze videos
Grok is being built for real-world use - better tools, richer context, and real day-to-day signals make this a big step toward Grok becoming part of everyday life
You can now research, visualize, and package your ideas end-to-end..... from concept to finished presentation or dashboard all in one place
And the Grok Computer is coming very soon 🔥
grok 4.3 beta can use an ubuntu shell and a persistent file layer to generate artifacts
grok wrote python to encode the xai / grok logo into audio, i gave it the script back and had it render a spectrogram video from that signal, and use the grok_files tool to save the mp4 into the product's files layer
i opened the file from the files panel and played it myself
this is getting crazy
You are In Austin, you’re taking an unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi and you approach a dead end. You notice cars parked all around it, you wonder, "how will Robotaxi handle this"?
