@winniemli are hiking paths so empty in usa? in the philippines it would be CROWDED

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@enocksaintjuste @ifudontlike2bad i pray and hope she made some very smart protective moves before becoming public like that.

@Accoid @ebun_777 @ennyola0015 If you don't form a human shield, USA will bomb your energy facilities and your family dies from starvation.

If you form a human shield and USA bombs it , you will die , but you would have died either way, so at least you gave your best.

@gatodawg looks like philippines

@BowesChay somebody should make tower defence game with drones and warfare battle.

Do the guys get paid for the overtime work? Or it is free labor for the employer?

At 1:30 a.m. PT on November 3, 2023 Elon sent a message to the xAI group chat saying that we need to go “extremely hardcore” for the next 36 hours; Grok will be released publicly tomorrow. You didn’t have to be in the exclusive company chat to get the message; it was also posted publicly at the same time:

https://t.co/lThuIjQvF9

What unfolded over the next day and a half was one of the best examples of engineering at pace that I’ve ever seen. All we had when we started was a somewhat fine-tuned base model and a half-baked UI. Our team of ten split up the tasks: curate data, improve the model, implement the raw prompting and RAG service, build the production infra. I took care of the latter.

At 8:51 p.m. PT the next day, we announced Grok to the world with a long-form post on X (https://t.co/9d485OLrSY). Over the past 36 hours, we came up with Fun mode (including Grok’s sunglasses), finished the whole production system, and most importantly tuned the RAG system that gave it real-time knowledge of the world through the X platform (a first in the industry). A day and a half of straight coding and shipping; no drugs, not even caffeine, just pure adrenaline. Elon gave us a mission and we delivered.

The launch went very well. We invited a couple hundred X creators and Grok’s ability to roast accounts went viral. It was the first time a publicly accessible AI was allowed to poke fun at people.

This episode is a prime example of what you can achieve by going extremely hardcore: you move and deliver results faster than any outsider could have anticipated. Within 36 hours, we took the company from silence to relevance. It was well worth it.

xAI’s hardcore culture is infamous on X. I love the tent meme that suggests we all sleep (well, slept in my case) in the office in tents. Our reputation precedes us and even new joiners hit the ground grinding hard. However, unless you understand the “why,” you are at risk of simply replicating the “how” without achieving the same results.

You need to grind with purpose and the purpose is to move fast towards a known goal. When the goal and the means of reaching it are crystal clear, a small, skilled, and highly motivated team can outcompete companies old and new, big and small.

Never grind to show off; never work late to be seen; never sacrifice without cause. There is no medal for the one who tried extremely hard but failed. There is only a medal for the winner. If all your efforts lead nowhere, you’re arguably not very productive.

Always keep your eyes firmly on the goal, do everything to reach it as quickly as possible, and make sure you're on track to win. A hardcore engineering culture is one of the most effective ways of accelerating real progress. Watch out for performative sacrifice and don’t confuse pain with progress.

@KinsellaTopher @Thorin business is essentially, you make your own race, where you can win, eliminate competition.

@internetarchiva fascinating . But i wonder how many other patients claim to hear voices , but the messages of the ghost don't become reality?

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@Cr7Godbrand write a book

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@wokal_distance write a book! i'm serious. It will be a best seller . There is market cap at the moment and a demand for that kind of message.

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@iruletheworldmo This is pure marketing play. The entire move is calculated to draw more attention to xAI. Elon Musk is playing 4D chess when you guys are playing checkers.

@W0rld2025 what's so special about it? doesn't US have 1000s of lakes and mountains?

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@dmoonlives @MyronGainesX it's does look weird to male brain. But I think female brain works differently.

In order to live with a man who loves you, it requires the woman to respect and submit to her husband. They don't like that.

With stranger you don't have to do that, so they prefer that.

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

I need them to hold off ~10 years on that, I don't have enough money to retire

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@dyonisos_dance @bkkchris66 @ky__zo do europeans need also employer sponsorship to live there?

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@KristinManix @wildfreakouts It’s just a caption - could easily be fabricated. Like many videos on X where bullies record school beatings and invent justifications afterward.

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@ar_kcy @gdechichi if they have the money... why not calls to openai? less code. more lean codebase.

@ladies4pd @SnakeoilHero @box_o_hecks @DaygameCharisma @ItIsHoeMath 2 years ago there was study made that 50% of men between 18-25 have not asked a woman EVEN to a date.

@Muricaenjoyer @DrewPavlou i'm pretty sure it is a rage bait. He obviously is an expert news achor and knows what makes people talk about him.

[codegodzilla @codegodzilla]

@StrangeWill @bitfalls @ImSh4yy yep
