Unique? You mean tweets? Yeah sure

It's 6B down the drain. Saying grok 1.5 is competitive is a joke, if it was any good it would be ranked well in chatbot arena (https://chat.lmsys.org/). Elon is a master in hyping underperforming things and this is no exception.

No, there is no ranking for Grok. It’s not participating.

It would be hard to judge rate of improvement at this point, since the company has only been around for 1.25 years, and grok 1.5 is yet to be released for general access.

>> It’s not participating.

I wonder why

[nomel]

Well, grok 1.5 hasn't been released yet, except to very few private testers.

You really think investors like sequoia and a16z are dumb enough to fall for Elon hyping things up? They know who he is and They’ve seen him operate at levels basically no other entrepreneur can snd are betting on that

a16z invested $350 in Adam Neumann's real estate venture - after WeWork. VCs will absolutely knowingly invest on hype if they think it's going to last long enough for them to cash out with great returns.

Elon’s created multiple 100B companies

[ml-anon]

This is the second 20B company he created. Unfortunately the other one is Twitter.

But that doesn’t mean investors can’t be stupid
