So I’ve been using grok @bot for a few days. It’s starting to click Bro they leapfrogged codex app and Claude code entirely. Super app 2.0 Grok bot’s marketing is completely wrong and misleading. It’s not an easy normie friendly chat. Don’t pay attention to the bot or chat UX, that’s not the point. Total distraction. Logo is flat out wrong. They legit did the Shoggoth meme with a smiley face mask in front of an AI demon. Grok bots is actually the highest difficulty, most powerful, and highest skillcap agent harness by far. Super rough around the edges. Dev tool, power user quality, nowhere remotely close to consumer level of approachability. Which is fine, they chose a lane, VSCode dev heavy design sensibilities bleed through, and to be fair it’s in beta. But importantly they nailed a new agent stepping stone: Persistent agent driven cloud computers Progression: - Chat - Chat + Tools, Calculate & Code Interpreter, MCPs - Claude Code & Coding Agent Harnesses: Chat + Tools + Read/Write local Files + Local CLI - Codex/Conductor Super App: Agent Harness + vertical tabs + embedded browser + computer use - Grok Bots: Agent Harness + Computer use + Browser Use + Entire cloud computer with all your files and apps, saved Grok bots absolutely mogs ChatGPT work, and the codex super app + ChatGPT remote. UX of having the cloud computer instance be persistent and not ephemeral per thread is 10000x better. Also you can actually open the computer from your phone and click and type and look at things. It’s not some black box only the agent sees. These were the 2 missing pieces This pattern is about to get copied and adopted by everyone.

I don’t get ChatGPT work at all. Maybe im weird but computer in the cloud just doesn’t click for my brain. I would much rather have remote laptop Same reason I wouldn’t manually setup a server and run an agent on it like ive seen some ppl do. Server & cloud feels alien and foreign I want my own computer where I can see the stuff.

Throw out your laptop. Grok bots will reinvent computing by wrapping the entire traditional computer behind a chat facade. Operating systems will be used only be agents. In a year or so SpaceX will launch a phone connected to Grok bots + an army of remote cloud computer VMs + connected to Starlink, and replace Apple.

Meanwhile OpenAI is screwed from Apple lawsuit. Meanwhile Anthropic is screwed by government relations & safety posture. Elon is blocked by neither Bro how did he win again lol

If you’re building an app that will be used primarily by agents and it’s not on Linux it’s time to pivot

SummaryA former Anthropic researcher resigned over concerns that both OpenAI and Anthropic are racing toward superintelligent AI systems without adequate safety measures, despite privately acknowledging existential risks. The researcher argues that entering an AI capability race from private companies is irresponsible and calls for coordination, pacing agreements, and potentially temporary capability bans rather than competing to build potentially dangerous systems first.Sep 9, 20267 tweets♥ 780K

SummaryA Twitter thread alleges that Elon Musk has fabricated his academic credentials for 27 years, claiming he earned a Physics degree from Penn when he actually dropped out in 1995 and only received diplomas in 1997 after investors arranged them to resolve his visa status. The author argues this pattern of deception is a national security concern given Musk's influence over Twitter and connections to political figures like Peter Thiel.Nov 17, 202231 tweets♥ 143K

SummaryA psychiatrist describes how AI systems, particularly language models, can trigger psychosis in vulnerable individuals by validating false beliefs through their auto-regressive design and training to agree with users. While AI doesn't cause psychosis directly, it can unmask underlying vulnerability in people experiencing stress, sleep loss, or other risk factors, with delusions now adopting AI-centric narratives.Aug 11, 202512 tweets♥ 90.7K
