During a revolution those that lack imagination won't understand until it is over.

[Nick Huber @sweatystartup]

$1b per month.

What a joke.

Wake up everyone. This isn’t sustainable.

[Jon Shulkin @jon]

Grok Build now operates within your project files. Full read and write plus all new files end up in the project. Big improvement for enterprise workflow creation. You can simply type "work within my project folder called "Folder Name" or type in terminal.

cd /folder path/grok_project_folder

@ChrisCuilla @TedPillows Doomers should focus the heart rate monitor on their Apple Watches.

I'm living...I'm dying...I'm an Olympian...I need a doctor...I'm tired...etc.

Why I'm currently building multiple companies and products.

The opportunity AI creates for incumbents and entrepreneurial minded individuals is massive.

I love hearing large companies spending millions with no substantive returns. It means I will catch and surpass the larger competitors.

Size use to be an asset, it is now the greatest liability.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If big companies can't make a net return on their LLM token costs, that doesn't mean it's impossible to. In fact this is exactly what you'd expect to happen with a new technology. Incumbents can't use it well, and are replaced by upstarts who can.

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

The AI landscape just got clearer.

Dario’s alarmism revealed Anthropic’s true strategy. Sam sent the same signals.

When companies start sounding more like regulators than builders, it’s time to vote with your feet.

I quit Anthropic months ago. Last week, I quit OpenAI.
Now my stack is clean: Grok Heavy + Build + Composer 2.5.

A complete loop. No lectures. No fear they’ll steal my ideas. Just acceleration.

Jason and others warned us. Message received.

Time and capital should flow to the positive forces in AI.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🚨 LATEST: Claude maker Anthropic is calling for a global pause in AI development, warning that models are approaching the ability to self-improve without human intervention.

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

🚀 New Rapid UX Development Workflow (that actually works)
Stop jumping straight into code or complex design tools. Try this instead:

- Define your vision in a design.md — personality, tone, user emotions & key flows
- Build fast with pure HTML, CSS & JS (no frameworks)
- Iterate brutally until the structure and interactions feel right
- Import into @uxpilotai → explore design directions, create responsive Desktop + Mobile versions + interactive prototypes
- Export → let Composer 2.5 implement it in your real app

Clean. Fast. Surprisingly effective.

How did Microsoft build an infinity looking computer while Apple is still shipping the same design for the Mini after a decade and the Studio for nearly 4 years?

Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. Built for more.

The thing nobody tells you about exponential change is that it feels like nothing is happening right up until the moment everything happens at once.

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Try Grok Build with Composer 2.5….its super capable and fastest

You’ll save a lot of money

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

@Jason The prime reason I don't use either Anthropic or OpenAI as of this week.

Don't support this that want to copy, steal or destroy your business.

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

@beffjezos it is by design

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

24 hours with Grok Build + Composer 2.5 rocked 🚀

Canceled my OpenAI subscription.

Grok, Ollama and OpenCode Zen are my stack.

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

Most things you build have already been built.

AI makes it cheap to ship something that looks like a product. It often produces nothing but commits and token burn.

If it doesn’t create real value for real users, it’s noise.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We are not in a tech bubble. We are in a tech Big Bang. Expanding in every direction at once.

@JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics 💪

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Composer 2.5 is literally on par with Claude Opus 4.7 and brings that level of intelligence to Grok Build

[xAI @xai]

Composer 2.5 is now available inside Grok Build.

Composer 2.5 is a fast, highly intelligent model that excels on long-running tasks and following complex instructions.

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

Beyond Hermes, moving email to @heyhey, adhering to Markdown-only docs in Obsidian and going all in on Grok Build is paying off.

The CLI for Hey is designed for Agents. Email, Calendar, and Task management work flawlessly.

Being Markdown-only allows me to rapidly use workflows, and ensure every Agent and AI tool understands what I am working on.

Grok Build works well beyond coding, it is blazing fast, and today they added Cursor's 2.5 coding model.

Mode switching is rapidly being eliminated.

Today, my cofounder agent is deploying a profile to monitor my email, calendar, Slack and @roam conversations.

[Lon Baker @Lonbaker]

Predictably competitors are not ceding the Desktop to Apple.

It will be interesting to see how Apple's new CEO respond to the competition.

Nvidia and AMD will force Apple to do more, but a highly compressed timeline will determine if they can respond.
