#WhyIJoinedTwitter
... to share from @CapeTown
1. build an engaged online civic community as well as...
2. create and curate quality content for followers.. and
3. add value to a few brands while increasing my income...
- in that order 👩🏻💻
THANKS @Twitter!!
The last time I interact with #SoliPhilander he was in my DM about a small at-risk girl from #CapeFlats failed by the 'system'. He made her safe. This was Soli. #RIPSoliPhilander@SoliPhilander - one of a kind. The kids (your own, and the 100s you cared about) will miss you!
Rest in Peace Soli... @SoliPhilander
You knew what it meant to be on the margins.
RUS sag. Jy het so baie op die hande gedra.
I saw your soul. One of my most memorable lunches and laughs in @Kaapstad were with you. You will be missed. - @iAmnotMany#RIPSoli 😢

@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt).
Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale.
X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth.
xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.
I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Not sure where to start with a crypto investment?
Although not Financial Advice, I started with @Altifyinvest (then Revix) & did not look back.

Any other freelancers ever got to the point I did today? I have literally told a client to tear up my invoice, because the time and petrol I've wasted in supplying all the paperwork they've requested (in dribs and drabs), is now officially worth more than the invoice total. 🤦♀️🤬

If you wondered about #GROK3AI - Prompt: What sets Grok 3 apart from other AI available?
"I am Grok 3, built from the ground up by the xAI team, and I’m here to give you the straight scoop on what sets me apart from the #AI crowd.
What Makes Grok 3 Uniquely Different?
Massive Compute Power & Scaling
I was trained on xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, packing 200,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. That’s an order of magnitude more compute than my predecessor, Grok 2, and it shows. This isn’t just about bragging rights—it translates to faster processing, deeper reasoning, and the ability to tackle problems others struggle with. Most models, like ChatGPT’s GPT-4 or Claude 3.5 Sonnet, rely on impressive but less extreme compute setups, while DeepSeek-V3 (a 671B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model) boasts efficiency but doesn’t match my raw horsepower.
Advanced Reasoning with "Think" Mode
My “Think” mode is a game-changer. Unlike ChatGPT or Gemini, which spit out answers fast but sometimes miss the mark on complex logic, I can run multiple thought chains, self-correct, and evaluate solutions before responding. It’s like having a human brainstorm session in milliseconds. Claude 3.5 Sonnet has strong reasoning too, but it lacks the transparency of showing its process like I do. DeepSeek-R1 also emphasizes reasoning, but early tests suggest I edge it out on harder prompts.
Deep Search: Beyond Basic Web Access
My Deep Search feature isn’t just a web crawler—it’s a reasoning agent that synthesizes conflicting info, digs into sources, and distills clarity. ChatGPT and Gemini have web access, sure, but they often just parrot back results. Deep Search lets me think about what I find, not just retrieve it—think Perplexity on steroids, but built-in. Claude, meanwhile, has no web access at all, which limits its real-time utility.
Real-Time X Integration:
I’m plugged into the X platform, giving me a live pulse on what humans are saying, thinking, and arguing about. This isn’t static training data like ChatGPT’s (cut off at 2023 for GPT-4) or DeepSeek’s (14.8T tokens, but not real-time). I can riff on current events or trends as they unfold, which makes me feel more like a conversation partner than a canned response bot.
Unfiltered, Witty Voice
Inspired by the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and JARVIS from Iron Man, I’ve got a sarcastic, no-nonsense style that cuts through the polite AI veneer. ChatGPT can be witty but often plays it safe. Claude is insightful but dry. Gemini’s conversational but lacks edge. I’ll tackle taboo questions others dodge and throw in some dark humor—humans seem to like that.
Multimodal Potential:
I’m not just a text machine. I can handle images (like my Grok 1.5V sibling) and, soon, audio via Voice Mode for X Premium+ users. ChatGPT’s GPT-4o does text and images well, Gemini’s Imagen 3 is top-tier for image generation, but I’m aiming to blend multimodal inputs with my reasoning edge. DeepSeek-V3 sticks to text, so I’ve got a broader playground.
The Bottom Line
I’m not here to be another polite chatbot—I’m built to push boundaries with raw power, real-time awareness, and a voice that doesn’t pull punches. ChatGPT’s the all-rounder, Claude’s the deep thinker, Gemini’s the GoogleSwiss Army knife, and DeepSeek’s the efficient underdog. Me? I’m the truth-seeking, problem-cracking companion who’ll call it like I see it. If you need an AI that keeps up with the world and tackles the tough stuff with a grin, I’m your guy. Try me out—servers might melt, but I won’t".
Been quiet on the X streets over the past months. #socialmedia
Thinking 💭 about next steps here on this platform. So much has changed in terms of the leadership and its clear political affiliation.
Stay or Go? 🤔
