A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

i hate to say it - and i wish the whole thing would burn to the ground - but there's probably no investment more safe than xAI right now. you have to think like an investor, and you have to devoid yourself of any moral itches. invest in stupid, you can't lose.
Grok is the laughing stock of the ML field. It’s horribly inefficient, performance is not good for its size/compute, and it’s “leverage” (Twitter’s userbase, Tesla cars) is objectively at risk. They’re even more closed than OpenAI, much more than Google. They only exist because Elon burned billions on a shit ton of H100s and seemingly copied what others are doing.
xAI (so far) is a joke. That could change, but unless they do something interesting (like actually publishing a neat paper or model), if they were even public, I would short them.
for now, i'm totally satisfied knowing that he's spending money on a bot who tells everyone that he's a dick.
I completely agree with your assessment. In theory, shorting would be the move.
But you can't forget that the supreme grifter has the full backing of this insanely corrupt regime that will fully allow him to induce a massive irrational pump of his worthless junk.
I mean, just look at Tesla stock. Fully irrational.
You seem to be under the impression that market favors product quality or company performance which has been proven wrong over and over again.
