> more than $20 million…in monthly revenue

Sign me up!


The model-as-a-service clause (which is new to the K3 series) actually only requires $20 million over 12 months - i.e. yearly revenue.

> So why aren't the frontier labs freaking out right now?

They are. Isn’t this why they’re trying to get regulatory capture?


Well it will only get better now that the “Code is no longer a constraint”! AI can just do everything for them now. https://youtu.be/zFslvuvYifQ?si=sEN270fkICYSpaLU


Terrible! Source?


Justice Department [0] seems a definitive source.

It is extremely funny that Epstein is clearly all “oh, fuck, not this guy, gotta make an excuse”, here.


I'm not seeing it.

> “Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?” Musk states on 13 December 2013.

> “any day 1st - 8th . play it by ear if you want. always space for you,” Epstein replies.

> Musk then sends several emails relaying his schedule, and the two settle on 2 January as a date for the visit. The email exchange ends with Epstein telling Musk that he would need to remain in New York and sending his regrets that they could not meet.

> “Bad news- Unfortunately , my schedule will keep me in New York . I was really looking forward to finally spending some time together with just fun as the agenda. so i am very disappointed. Hopefully we can schedule another time in the near future,” Epstein wrote.

> In November 2012, Epstein sent Musk an email asking “how many people will you be for the heli to island”.

> “Probably just Talulah and me. What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Musk replied, in an apparent reference to his former wife Talulah Riley.

> Musk followed up with an email on 25 December in response to another Epstein message that encouraged him to visit and offered use of his helicopter.

> “Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for,” Musk wrote.

> “Understood , I will see you on st Barth, the ratio on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable,” Epstein responded.

> “Ratio is not a problem for Talulah,” Musk said.

> On 2 January 2013, Musk sent Epstein an email suggesting that the visit wouldn’t take place saying: “Logistics won’t work this time around.”


what ratio? men vs women? or adults vs children?


Epstein emails. Google will find it for you.


Nostalgic maybe, but not sure it qualifies as beautiful.


there was a time when this, exactly this, was the future. It's old hat now, and soon too will modern web design seem clunky and outdated.


I know this is targeted at game dev, but I wonder if this would work well for a huge MS Access app.


I’m glad people are looking into this because I do think it’s the future. However, why would you not take advantage of the heavily subsidized frontier models while you can. It’s obvious that they’re gonna have to raise prices at which point it might make sense to consider local models, but not today.


Curiosity or anticipation I think. I have tried it in the name of those 2 factors, because when the frontier model price increase happens and we don't know anything about local models, we're screwed


What do people get out of this kind of spam? How does having AI regurgitate another post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48553975) benefit them?


I think typically it's karma farming? To what end I'm not sure but it's probably not great.


The profile links to his website, so it's probably to promote that.


> No body who has a choice is using Grok

The Grok app had over 100 million downloads in 2025, over 60 million active users, and generated $350 million in revenue. That’s a lot of people being forced to use it.


Grok revenue is like 100x smaller than xai estimated capex? Doesn't look great.


Still more than I expected based on anecdotal experience


Digital currency can help control you. Imagine negative inflation based on your social score.


Social score is for communists and autocratic regimes, minton. I live in a democra…

Wait, 27% for the right-wing extremists in Germany? The strongest party if there were elections today? Some of them publicly state they are the friendly faces of facism?

Oh, oh. I’m in danger.
