@xie_wanjun Chinese press did the same thing with the Trump visit. They created special chair to make trump seem shorter they photo shopped images.
It is absolutely pathetic and childish but thats the Chinese for you.
Right now, Arthur Liu is testifying before @CECCgov on the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Thank God Arthur escaped Communist China and raised Alysa in America to become an Olympic champion.
The struggle is worth it.
@PerryALPHA Arsenal has never really had that championship DNA. As a kid, I was a huge fan of Thierry Henry and the Arsenal side he played for. Once he left, though, I lost interest—they just don’t have that winning appeal.
Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come.
Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release.
This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.
@Ranjeet18@nianadell People who choose this food delivery method have their own problems too. They could end up with their faces disfigured by scalding hot soup at any moment — maybe they’re just hoping for a big insurance payout.
While Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials preach “serving the people,” they live in a world of unchecked privileges and systemic corruption that would never fly in a free society:
• Medical Privilege: Top cadres get exclusive hospitals with world-class care and private doctors—while ordinary citizens wait in endless lines.
• Education Privilege: Their kids sail into elite schools or Ivy League colleges, with family connections smoothing every path.
• Travel Privilege: Special license plates let them ignore traffic laws; they fly on private jets or dedicated trains, guarded by elite security.
• Special Supply (“Te Gong”): They enjoy premium, contamination-free food, luxury goods, and imports unavailable to the public.
• Family Corruption: Relatives (“princelings”) use political power to monopolize businesses, amass billions, and stash fortunes overseas—often as “naked officials” who ship assets and loved ones abroad.
This isn’t a few bad apples. It’s baked into the system. Even their own “anti-corruption” drives are mostly political purges, not real reform.
Americans should know: this is how a one-party dictatorship really works—behind the slogans and the Great Firewall. Share if you believe transparency matters.
