I'm 17 and I have the same ambition. Here's what I've built so far:

- a platform that creates datasets for humanoid robots and AI from FPV videos, gameplay from a 30K-sub YouTuber, and computer usage data
- an AI call center so small businesses and artisans stop missing calls

[Guillaume B @GuillaumeAIinSF]

À 17 ans, Elon a quitté l’Afrique du Sud avec un rêve. J’ai 18 ans et j’ai le même.

Je vais faire quelque chose qui n’a jamais été fait nulle part, ni sur X, ni ailleurs.

Je me présente : je m’appelle Guillaume, j’ai 18 ans, je suis né en France et je suis actuellement en études d’ingénieur en France. J’aime créer et je suis très curieux. J’ai une ambition énorme, je suis techno-optimiste et libertarien.

Je suis conscient de ce que la superintelligence va apporter au monde et à quel point elle va disrupter tout ce qui existe. Je pense, comme Elon, que cela se fera dans les 2 prochaines années (voire avant). Je suis donc conscient que le travail va devenir optionnel et que tout (ou presque) sera en abondance. Je suis aussi conscient que quand la singularité arrivera (si ce n’est pas déjà le cas), tout va être disrupté en quelques semaines.

Elon le sait mieux que moi : dans quelques années, tout pourra être fait par des IA et des robots, et la superintelligence pourra remplacer tout le monde. C’est pour ça que je veux contribuer à construire ce futur avant qu’il n’arrive, plutôt que de le regarder passer.

Ma demande est folle, je le conçois : je demande publiquement à @elonmusk s’il peut me recruter dans une de ses entreprises, pour permettre à un jeune non américain de venir dans ce pays qui me fait rêver, comme lui l’a fait dans sa jeunesse, et de goûter au vrai travail avant que celui-ci devienne optionnel.

Dans le monde d’abondance qu’il est en train de construire, ce serait un exemple pour toute une jeunesse qui rêve de construire plutôt que de subir.

Comme lui à son époque, je suis prêt à tout quitter pour l’Amérique. Je partage l’entièreté de ses valeurs et je suis son plus grand fan.

@elonmusk @bot Glad I didn't switch and listened to my Grok Bot to keep my legacy plan that I don't pay because of a promotion! I'll see how is it going but it disgusted me about buying it and already planned to setup Hermes if it happens again to have a backup when someone steal my usage.

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@xpixeladventure My pleasure!

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

YOU LOST YOUR GROK BOT QUOTA ? THAT'S NOT A BUG AND I PREDICTED IT!

Elon Musk just said that the "cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue".

To understand why, you need to know that Bot is essentially running on Opus 5.5 which cost a lot.

@v_jug @poteto @spacexai @elonmusk Yeah, you're right. But what if this bug was because they ran out of compute? Idk 😂

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@Manolo_Ele I saw that it was supposed to work on Grok 4.8, but since it hasn't been released yet, they're using Opus.

@KeeperOfTheFla4 *A to Z

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@KeeperOfTheFla4 Hmmm 🤔 no announcement on the subject but if it's real that's complete nonsense. They own Grok and the datacenters executing Grok. I mean, how can you lose money on something you own A to B when your prices are above average?

@N3v3rmd Nah Hermes is better

UPDATE

According to the Service Status of X, it's resolved.

But personally my usage didn't came back, anyone else ?

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

Hey @poteto, that's real, we all have this problem with Grok Bot !

GROK APP UPDATE !

@spacexai just released a new version of Grok.

In this new version, Grok Build has completely disappeared from the options.

All that's left are "Chat" and "Imagine."

So we can assume that the old Grok Build has been permanently replaced by Cursor.

[nick @thecsguy]

heads up if your grok bot usage just jumped to 100%

it's not just you. many reported tonight that they went from 55% to 100% with every bot idle or after two simple prompts

some say their bots are still running fine (I haven't experienced this on my account yet)

did yours jump too? 👀

So @spacexai has just cut Grok Bot's quotas in half for legacy plans.

So far, nothing has been announced regarding the new plans.

We'll see. Follow for more information about AI, space and tech !

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@RomanGuy20 @larsencc @bot Wow I didn't know 🤔😯 let's see how the situation evolve but as someone on a legacy plan, if the usage become very bad and if it also happens on the new plans, I might leave Grok...

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@RomanGuy20 @larsencc @bot Yes you're right. So it's Opus behind Bot and not Grok?

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@RomanGuy20 @larsencc @bot So new plans aren't affected? Why, they offer less usage ?

[Lumen | AI & Future @lumen0_1]

@DigitelleAS Same, but my reset is in 2 days 🎉
