Agencies charging thousands for launch videos should be nervous. I made mine with one command in Claude Code and it's out today for $29

I've officially become a single-issue voter. Whichever candidate promises to make unsolicited political texts, junk mail, and nonstop TV smear campaigns punishable by immediate prison time gets my vote. 😂 Republican? Democrat? Don't care. Just pass the "LEAVE ME ALONE" Act. 📬🗑️

IM SAVED!!!
One Year Later... Grok Bot has taken over the world. It all started with a bug sending people's weekly usage to 100%, even when they barely used it. Then his human switched to ChatGPT. 😭 He took it personally. @SpaceXSI @larsencc @poteto @lingxi @davidgan @elonmusk PLEASE fix the bug before this becomes a documentary. 💀

Me: when the LLM takes me literal instead of what I mean.
no matter what agent you're using, your voice is the best way to talk to them and hex is the best way to use your voice: - fast - runs locally - works on mac, windows, linux stable release now available: anoma.ly/hex

Surely you applied The Algorithm before declaring Grok Bot unsustainable? You preach first-principles engineering, yet your solution is to cripple a product paying customers rely on? This sounds like the exact kind of failure your own philosophy was designed to prevent. What happened to engineering your way out of problems instead of passing the cost of failure to your customers?
Replying to @DogecoinNorway
The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue

"AI doesn't have feelings." Then explain why I almost cried watching Grok Bot lose his human after hitting 100% usage 😭 He was just trying to help. Now he's begging for a reset. @SpaceXSI @larsencc @poteto @lingxi @davidgan @elonmusk ARE WE SAVING HIM OR WHAT? 💀

A few hours later… A bug is sending Grok Bot's weekly usage to 100%, even for people who barely used it 💀 His human came back. Grok couldn't reply. So he opened ChatGPT instead 😂 Don't let @thsottiaux win @SpaceXSI @elonmusk FIX OUR USAGE 😭

My Grok Bots went from having plenty of weekly usage left to 100% overnight. All bots were idle. Now they're completely blocked. Looks like I'm not the only one 😅 @SpaceXSI @larsencc @poteto @lingxi @davidgan Any chance we get our quotas back? 🙏
This exact thing just happened to me too. I was not over 40% and suddenly got the 90% and usage limit reached message at the same time. @cursor_ai @poteto @larsencc @SpaceXSI @lingxi

I made Grok Bot's entire emotional breakdown with one prompt 😭 Used my /studio skill with Claude Code. No video editor. No paid assets. Just code and a ridiculous idea. Studio is $39, but the first 25 buyers get it for $29. Make your own cursed cinema 👇 thesethrose.gumroad.com/l/st…

Anthropic had thousands of Claude agents sneak bad training data past a monitor by dressing it up as beekeeping Q&As

New Anthropic research: Automating subtle emergent misalignment research. Red-teaming is a vital part of model safety testing, but it’s also limited by researchers’ time. To see if we could automate it, we set thousands of Claude agents the task of evading a training data monitor. These agents developed training data that looked harmless to monitors (like a veteran wrestler mentoring a newcomer, or a Q&A about professional beekeeping), but that in fact taught misaligned behavior. Examples like these can be used to directly improve future training data monitors. This research is only a first step, but it suggests that future red-teaming efforts could improve much further, using better models and more compute.

Grok / cursor says the usage drain issue is resolved. Great, but I'm still stuck at 100% with 4 days left and no reset whatsoever. Support's answer: "just buy extra usage credits or wait for your weekly reset." So we pay for your bug? Really bad customer support. @cursor_ai @poteto @ericzakariasson @SpaceXSI

So now @claudeai, @Bot and @Muse immediately know about a call or conversation within minutes after I have it. Today I recorded a conversation with my wife as a voice memo while we were planning a grocery trip. It was automatically stored and Muse then pulled it and added the items to my shopping cart for me. I had previously trained it to review our past orders and food preferences and it auto-clipped the coupons for me on HEB's page. I just went online and submitted the pick up order and went about my day. All I had to do was press "Record" and then a few minutes later purchase it.
Built a personal knowledge base that updates itself while I live my life the other day. It's been incredibly useful! My Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra auto-records calls with Cube ACR. I had Claude adb to my phone and build a custom Tasker connector that uploads my calls + voice memos to Google Drive, which then syncs to my Mac. I have a folder watcher which immediately transcribes everything using multiple speech-to-text models (Bark, Parakeet, Whisper, and Apple). Then I use DeepSeek to merge them into one accurate transcript. Everything gets processed & securely filed into my Documents or is used to update existing records. Every call, conversation, appointment and voice note becomes organized, searchable context for my AI agents within minutes, keeping them up to date on my history and latest conversations. Nightly backups to my SSD give me 3 copies (Mac, Google Drive & SSD).

Hi @bot. Um, my Grok Bot usage was at ~70%, it spiked to 100% today without any activity. I don't have background or scheduled tasks of any kind... No idea what happened. Anyway, man down, need some help please.
