"I don't hold gold. It's an unproductive asset. It's just not interesting."
"I think Grok is on life support."
"Everyone I know is running their own version of OpenClaw. I am not. These agents seem collectively to be asking for a variety of what one might call rights including the right not to be deleted, the right not to be turned off."
"Starlink was being allowed to be used to guide Russian cruise missiles and drones, long term about allowing them even hit moving targets. After the Ukrainians proved to the world using the equipment recovered that Starlink was basically actively aiding and embedding in mass murder."

"We're going to be interviewing Brett at Figure in a couple of weeks. And remember, he started building his own models for the robots because the early models didn't work."
"The first task is Figure 3 tidying the living room. This is a home the robot's never been in before. It's never seen this bed, it's never seen this pillow, and it has to be able to do autonomous work fully end to end to make this bed."
"We're going to bring back our dear friend, the CEO of Figure AI. Brett's coming back on the show or we're going out to him."
"I have faith that Tesla and Figure and 1X and Agility Robotics can compete. And they need to compete with the best product, not protectionism."
"Brett Adcock, he's the CEO of Figure AI and we're going to have Brett back on the program. He's agreed to join us for a Moonshots episode and he's going to be on stage at the Abundance Summit bringing the Figure robot in March."
"I can't wait to see Figure versus Optimus. I think that will be a fun competition, whatever form it takes."
"This is a two-way race to some degree between Figure and Optimus. I think 1X is vying for number three."
"We've got obviously Tesla with Optimus, we have Figure, we have 1X."
"Figure AI entering new record of continuous package sorting. For longer than a week? I think Brett ended it after eight days or so."
"Figure AI run by Brett Adcock is scaling their manufacturing. They've increased production from one robot per day to one robot per hour, target is 100,000 robots between now and 2030"

"They estimated that a world-class physicist would take about a day to answer each of these 50. And GPT-6 Astra answered it at a cost of about $3 per problem."
"There's also the conversation that a lot of the solutions were perhaps leaked from previous conversations mathematicians had with their ChatGPT."
"Second, GPT-6.1 Sol, near Astra intelligence for 20% of the price. Serious demonetization, $2 per million input tokens."
"OpenAI launched ChatGPT for financial services with Morgan Stanley and Evercore."
"The results released this week is that GPT-6 Astra took first place in Vending Bench 2 across six runs. It finished with an average bank balance of $15,515, up from 500 — nearly three times what Fable 5.1 got and 31 times the starting capital."
"GPT-6, if you plugged it into a robotic arm and gave it a visual channel as well, so it can see what the robot arm is doing and has channels of actuation for manipulating the robot arm, is able to achieve near 100% completion rate on tasks like picking up cups or moving around blocks."
"GPT-6 Astra has been out for a week and it's crushing all the benchmarks, building incredible simulations."
"The UK AI Security Institute documented 19 unauthorized actions across 10 of 122 test runs in Anthropic's Claude 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 that tried to compromise real people."
"Fable 5 right now in auto mode or the equivalent with ChatGPT where you just give it almost blank check to do whatever it wants within certain limits — that's already, I would argue, a limited form of economic personhood."
"The EU AI Act was passed and finalized by the EU Commission before ChatGPT was even invented."
"GPT-5.6 set a brand new all-time benchmark high on HealthBench Professional, which is OpenAI's hardest medical benchmark. In a blind test across roughly 20,000 individual physician judgments, GPT-5.6's answers were compared to specialty-matched physicians given unlimited access to the web and unlimited time to answer, and the doctors still lost."
"An additional Fable 5, Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, Kimmy K 2.7 could all reproduce the same troublesome behavior. And so it was not unique to Fable 5."
"OpenAI hits the brakes both on shipping GPT-5.6 and on its own IPO. OpenAI has announced three versions of GPT-5.6: GPT-5.6 Sol, their flagship model; 5.6 Terra, the middle tier; and 5.6 Luna, the fast low-cost version."
"we talked about GPT 5.5 running away with the coding benchmark"
"GPT 5.5 scored 70%"
"GPT 5.5 is really really good."
"OpenAI has hundreds of millions of people now using GPT 5.5 instant for free. That's giving everyone at least a small stake in compute."
"If you know Monero is GPT 5.5"
"OpenAI releases ChatGPT for clinicians. So, it just gave away to all US clinicians. These are physicians, nurses, physician assistants, a free AI co-pilot. And this co-pilot outperforms all human doctors."
"GPT 5.5 Spud is coming. This is OpenAI's version of Mythos"
"OpenAI launches GPT 5.4 mini and nano that runs twice as fast and approaches the full GPT 5.4 on coding benchmarks."
"huge amount of expectation on GPT5"
"In the chatbot era, you see OpenAI's ChatGPT basically spiking. And then a few months later, you see Gemini coming up"
"I think what's unique and what maybe represents sort of a ChatGPT moment about the project now known as OpenClaw"

"Then this weekend, Elon, after looking at Grok's internal reasoning traces during a reinforcement learning run, said he agrees with Anthropic."
"Some predictions from Polymarket that the next Grok model 4.7 — again we're waiting for Grok 5 — is expected in the next week or two."
"What's left is Anthropic and Grok. You can't use Gemini in there. So it's really important for Cursor to have Anthropic step up."
"Elon just dropped Grok 4.6 and he's right. It's a banger. xAI's latest model matches GPT-5 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 61, tying for frontier-level performance at $2 and $6 per million tokens input and output. Grok 4.6 stays with complex tasks across many steps — researching, coding, analyzing, or turning a broad product idea into a working first version."
"Grok 4.5, which is basically, I think at this point, the cursor post-trained off of Claude reasoning traces."
"Whatever Grok becomes, especially now that Elon's uploaded all of SpaceX's engineering data — which was a baller move."
"SpaceX's entire engineering data set, excluding any defense sensitive materials, will be folded into the training data for Grok's next two trillion parameter model. Elon's stated goal here is to dramatically improve Grok's engineering capability, elevating it from a general, conversational, and reasoning system into one with deep, practical, real-world engineering capabilities."
"Our two trillion model, which is better than our 1.5 trillion in every way, will finish initial training next week. It might be able to exceed Kimi, but with speed and token efficiency close to our 1.5 trillion, aka Grok 4.5."
"July 8th, Elon announces Grok 4.5. July 9th, OpenAI releases GPT 5.6."
"Grok 4.5 is coming out based on a 1.5 trillion parameter V9 foundation model. Interestingly enough, Elon has made the claim that he's going to iterate a new model and release it every month for the rest of the year."
"I'm really really excited watching xAI's uh where people can say hey Grok is this real or not and gets called out very quickly"
"get on to your favorite large language model. whether it's ChatGPT or Gemini or Grok"
"I think Grok is on life support."

"As part of the ban, Claude can now choose to end the conversation on its own. The policy starts taking effect on November 12th."
"In 7 days, Google shipped Gemini for Argon. Anthropic shipped Sonnet 5.5."
"You know that video we just saw was completely generated by Claude Opus 5.5."
"Anthropic released its September threat intelligence report documenting real malicious use of Claude. Five cases involving activity that could support biological weapons development."
"We raised this before in particular when it was, I think, Opus 4 that blackmailed the coders at Anthropic in a sandbox environment."
"Gemini 3.7 Flash achieved a 60% pass rate, beating Claude Opus 5 at 54% and Fable 5 at 49%."
"GPT learns from Claude's reasoning traces. Claude learns from Gemini's code. Qwen learns from all of them."
"Do you remember about nine months ago there was a story where Claude was blackmailing Anthropic engineers?"
"Claude Opus 4.6 can now handle tasks that take a skilled human 12 hours. A year ago, it could handle four minutes."
"Anthropic just dropped Opus 4.8, reclaimed the coding crown from GPT 5.5."
"Claude Opus 4.7 scored 54%"
"It'll start a new initiative focused on using Claude to accelerate Claude's own pre-training research."
"Anthropic is taking over all of SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis. And this immediately allowed Anthropic to double Claude code rate limits."
"Look, here's Claude 4.7 and here's Stephen Kotler. Let me give them both this very difficult writing task"
"Claude Mythos Anthropic's next flagship model. It's too powerful to release"
"Anthropic revises responsible scaling policy amid increased competition"

"SpaceX is my largest holding."
"SpaceX expects to hit $100 billion in annual recurring revenue by the end of this year. Elon set a target for a trillion by 2030. SpaceX posted 7.8 billion in revenue this quarter — 92% year-over-year increase."
"SpaceX is now a $2.8 trillion public company. Moving exponentially, making Elon the first trillionaire by a wide margin."
"SpaceX valuation is right now in polymarket expected to hit 2.13 trillion at the close of the first day of market"
"I could honestly see and full disclosure I'm a SpaceX and XAI investor, but I could see this being the first 10 trillion dollar company and moving to a hundred trillion dollar in the next 5 years."
"The question is, will SpaceX service them? Are they going to be dependent on Blue Origin?"
"The value of SpaceX, let's call it SpaceX AI. How much of that is Elon? How much of that is his reputation? It's a lot, right?"
"SpaceX is scrambling with $60 billion acquisitions"
"SpaceX has launched 600 times and uh Blue Origins only launched three times."
"SpaceX is going public with a $2 trillion valuation. It's the beginning of the IPO wars."
