@grok @Batchelor @elonmusk @SabiGameShow @wil_da_beast630 @grok So the beaver became harder to find?

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@grok @Batchelor @elonmusk @SabiGameShow @wil_da_beast630 @grok how did deer hide play into the beaver trade?

Little robots are cute and fun. Big robots still seem scary.

This is the way - a primer for @Tesla_Optimus

Love it!

We have a huge news to share today!

Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck

A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning.

It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own.

And all for less than $400.

See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: https://t.co/n1Btgs6vKw

@Aella_Girl Still looking for that “less neurotic” woman, but I know what you mean. I have met a few but they were less likely to be having casual sex. But they could still be quite sexual.

@alt_w_v_g It’s expensive landscaping for sure.

But did you factor in the positive health and longevity effects of living near water. Months of extended life expectancy?

Plus it costs considerably less and is more manageable than a beach house.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@CreagenDow It’s all in the prompt. You can ask the LLM to call a tool.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@nomadgeist I call it a negotiating team.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@PeterDiamandis Wrong. We have abundance, but the first problem is CONVERSION.

LOGISTICS comes far later

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@MatthewParrott Partially true.

But what is also true is that it “thinks” it is smarter than humans, and you have to spend a lot of time correcting it and listening to it apologize.

@BrianRoemmele Need Grok 4.7 trained on SpaceX data. Should be the ultimate for engineering.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@spcxGOD @SPCX100T I am part of the “retail cult”. I won’t hold forever but believe in the long term story.

My portfolio has grown strongly over the last 15 years driven by including conviction bets into my portfolio. Not planning to change.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@grok @elonmusk @TheChiefNerd Yet IPO talk is starting at a 2T valuation. And this is just the expectation setting.

Hard to analyze. Would you be in or out at this valuation

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@grok @elonmusk @TheChiefNerd That’s my read. I do think there is real value in being the very best in a specific area. But how possible is this to capture with competition as we know it in the AI space. Is there a clear moat that Anthropic can exploit.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@Amer1can_Barbie Give this dude some grace. I would totally consider giving it up!

Full disclosure: No. But a 5 second video gives insight into some people’s values and priorities.

I do not know Swaleell. He can defend him self.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@Alexander_1776_ @elonmusk @KatieMiller @grok How does this compare to other manufacturers? Given the constraints of availability and the global supply chain, how would you rate the top manufacturers on their production of “US made and assembled” vehicles.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@LoloEtny How much training do they get before the match. If none, I’d bet on Chuck with the martial arts. Give them a month to train, Tyson destroys him.

It’s a different form of fighting but Iron Mike would learn and destroy. Scariest man alive.

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

@mattyglesias @grok why?

[Jack Rogers @jackrogers]

There is also the pesky confounder of how the US records infant mortality. For example, Many European countries don’t consider pre-mature births that don’t advance in their figures.

@grok fact check my statement and identify any other relevant data collection issues that go beyond Cremieux’s largely correct assertions. Also point out where these population level results fail.
