NEWS: xAI's Grok 4.5 has constructed an explicit counterexample to hypercontractivity on the 4-sphere, solving a mathematical gap that previously existed between dimensions 4 and 12.

Running on xAI's V9 architecture with 1.5 trillion parameters, the model proved that the smoothing property of the Poisson semigroup fails at dimension 4, effectively closing a dimensional transition that had remained unverified in prior mathematical literature. https://t.co/fETznr6wxk

NEWS: The Trump administration has proposed a new Federal Trade Commission policy statement to challenge state AI laws, specifically targeting regulations that the agency claims could allow companies to distort model outputs for undisclosed ideological objectives.

The proposal follows a December 2025 executive order that created a DOJ AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state-level regulations, and it specifically cites a Colorado law that prompted a lawsuit from xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company.

According to Stateline, the FTC proposal aims to address concerns that subverting AI systems for ideological ends constitutes deceptive consumer practices, providing a federal mechanism to challenge state laws that require alterations to truthful model outputs. https://t.co/fXUmNecc2b

INSIGHT: Regarding privacy concerns about the new "Confirm with Palm" feature that accounts can use if they are locked on suspicion of being an AI bot:

- there is always the option of using face ID, which is entirely on device.
- it works with gloves
- does not transmit any identifying information

@thltd_ Fake news

1. Moving your hand in front of your phone camera does not identify you

2. FaceID does not provide X with your identity or image of your face. It remains entirely on device, per iOS’s security model.

This is our frontline defense against AI bots.

NEWS: Following soon after the deal with Anthropic, now Google has also signed an agreement to pay SpaceXAI almost $1 billion a month. Like the previous deal, it can be terminated with 90 days' notice.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

SpaceX has just announced that they have entered into a $920 million per month agreement with Google to provide compute capacity, according to a new filing.

"On June 5, 2026, we entered into a Cloud Service Agreement with Google with respect to access to compute capacity. The customer has agreed to pay us $920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029, with capacity ramping up through September at a reduced fee. The compute capacity provided includes approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components.

After December 31, 2026, the agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days' notice. The customer will retain ownership of, and intellectual property rights in, its content, Al models, and related data."

It's definitely noticeable the decline of high-quality threads and engagement with them compared to the old Twitter. To an extent threads might be replaced by long posts, but it doesn't seem this can explain all of the difference.

INSIGHT: Good piece on issues with the current X algorithm, and reflects complaints we've been seeing in recent weeks.

NEWS: X has been carrying out another sweep on bot accounts.

However, this ban wave also seems to be targetting some authentic, smaller accounts based on what we've seen users report over the last week or so. Hopefully X can detect and reverse some of these bans.
