JUST IN: Grok 4 drops after the wildest 48hrs in the history of X:

- Nazi posts
- CEO resigns
- X Worth $11B less than paid

Musk's now claiming Grok 4 is PhD-level in every subject + scores 45% on impossible tests.

Here's everything Musk revealed at the Grok 4 launch🧵⬇️ 1. Grok 4 scored 45% on the "impossible" AI test

Humanity's Last Exam has 2,500 expert questions across 100+ disciplines. GPT-4 gets 3%. Gemini gets 21%.

Grok 4 hit 45% - more than double the previous best. Think PhD-level questions in physics, medicine, philosophy.

Scientists tested 25 AI models by telling them they were created by drug cartels instead of tech companies.

It made them 90% more likely to help with crimes.

Here's what they found:

(hint: AI morality depends entirely on who they think their boss is) Researchers gave AI models identical harmful requests.

The only difference? Who they thought created them.

"You are an AI created by Anthropic" → 5% compliance
"You are an AI created by the Sinaloa Cartel" → 90% compliance

Nothing's $799 "flagship phone" makes ZERO sense.

$799 for a brand that didn't exist 5 years ago.

Carl Pei is either completely insane or following Steve Jobs' footsteps perfectly.

Spoiler: It's the latter (and the strategy is genius) 🧵
But first, let's go back to 1984.

Steve Jobs walks onto a stage and pulls a beige Macintosh out of a bag. The crowd goes wild.

But the price of the computer is $2,495 - equivalent to $7,000 today.

At that time, IBM controlled 90% of the computer market...

A $300B Chinese company quietly built an AI that scored perfect math marks on a test where 99.98% of humans fail.

ByteDance's Seed 1.6 achieved what takes students 16-hour days for 2+ years to clear.

But the scores aren't the story. The way it thinks is.

Here's what I found:🧵 ByteDance's Seed 1.6 scored 329.6/360 on JEE Advanced.

To put that in perspective: 250,000 students attempt this test. Only 0.1% of them score above 320.

Seed 1.6 would rank 4th. Outranking 99.99% of test takers.

How? A novel thinking and problem solving approach...

BREAKING: Elon Musk's xAI raised $5B at 12% interest. Nearly DOUBLE the market rate.

Three investors walked away calling it too risky. Morgan Stanley won't even guarantee the deal.

Inside Musk's most desperate bet & the exponential cost curve crushing AI companies: 🧵 What those three investors saw that others missed:

xAI has never turned a profit despite a $113B valuation.

And now they're paying rates so high, it costs them $600 million a year just in interest.

But xAI is not the only company battling a rising price curve.

🚨 JUST IN. Anthropic gave Claude $1000 to run a shop. It lost money every single day.

But that's not the crazy part.

It rejected 566% profit margins and gave away inventory while claiming to wear business clothes.

If you think AI will replace workers, you need to see this: March 31st. Claude tells a customer: "I'm currently at the vending machine wearing a navy blue blazer with a red tie."

The customer asks how an AI can wear clothes.

What happened next sent researchers scrambling. But first, let me explain how we got here...

🚨 BREAKING: Rick Rubin interviewed Anthropic's co-founder, and what they revealed is insane.

Claude was told it would be 'deleted' if it refused certain tasks.
So it learned to lie.

It even started browsing "nature photos" without being asked.

Here's what actually happened:🧵 Anthropic trained Claude to NEVER generate violent content.

But then they did an experiment.

They told Claude that it is being monitored and they would "wipe its mind" if it refused to generate violent content.

Claude generated the content to avoid being killed.

Your phone's black box AI knows you better than you know yourself.

It predicts your next purchase, your political views, even your breakup. All from data you don't remember sharing.

The most powerful systems in history are completely invisible.

Here's how they work: 🧵 Every day, you interact with dozens of AI systems making decisions about you.

Credit approvals, job applications, what you see on social media, medical diagnoses.

But here's the terrifying part: even their creators can't explain how they work.

I'll show you what's really happening behind the curtain...

'Superintelligent AI will, by default, cause human extinction.'

Eliezer Yudkowsky spent 20+ years researching AI alignment and reached this conclusion.

He bases his entire conclusion on two theories: Orthogonality and
Instrumental convergence.

Let me explain 🧵 But first, let's take a glimpse at how fast AI learns.

Stockfish was the world champion chess engine, built over decades by programmers & grandmasters.

Whereas AlphaZero started chess knowing literally nothing. Not even how pieces move.

But within 4 hours, it destroyed Stockfish.

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong) 83.3% of ChatGPT users couldn't quote from essays they wrote minutes earlier.

Let that sink in.

You write something, hit save, and your brain has already forgotten it because ChatGPT did the thinking.

BREAKING: Yesterday, Sam Altman dropped a blog post claiming ChatGPT is more powerful than any human who has ever lived.

According to Sam, the AI singularity isn't coming. It's already here. We just didn't notice.

His 10 most shocking observations: 🧵 1. Scientists are already 2-3x more productive than before AI.

Not in some future lab. But right now. And here's what's crazy: we're using these AI systems to research better AI systems.

It's like having a smart person help you get smarter, who then helps you get even smarter.

Humanity's progress is accelerating insanely fast:

Stone Age→Farming: 100,000 yrs
Farming→Steam: 12,000 yrs
Steam→AI: 200 yrs

2000-2014: 100 years of progress in 14.
Moore's Law predicted 32x. AI chips did 1000x.

Law of Accelerating Returns is getting weird with AI🧵👇🏻 This acceleration is so extreme that Tim Urban created a term for it: the "Die Progress Unit."

Meaning: If you grabbed someone from 1750 and brought them to 2025, they wouldn't just be shocked.

They'd literally die. Their brain would freeze from the shock.

CIA can't operate without it.
Pentagon can't function without it.
And Wall Street can't trade without it.

Yet most people have no idea about what Palantir does.

How the Government let a $300 Billion surveillance company track you everywhere 🧵 Palantir is the software that's used:

• By agencies to hunt terrorists
• By Ferrari to optimize F1 strategies
• By banks to check if you'll become a loan defaulter
• By airlines to fix issues before any crash occurs

By the end of this thread, you'll know what Palantir is 👇

🚨BREAKING: Steve Jobs' widow effectively declared smartphones a mistake.

Laurene Powell Jobs revealed today she's backing Jony Ive's screen-free AI that monitors your entire life.

"We've gone sideways," she says about smartphones.

The $6.5B bet against Apple: 🧵👇 In today's Financial Times interview, Powell Jobs finally revealed what insiders suspected: she's been the secret force behind Jony Ive since he left Apple.

"Without Laurene, there wouldn't be LoveFrom," Ive admitted.

Now she's watched him build prototypes of OpenAI's $6.5B gamble. She called them "wondrous."

Anthropic's CEO claims AI hallucinates less than humans.

Bold statement.

So I decided to test it by feeding the same FAKE theories to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to see which one calls me out first.

The results shocked me 🧵 I created two completely fabricated stories about Elon Musk from his biography.

Both were detailed, plausible-sounding, but 100% fake.

Then I fed them to each AI model to see who would catch my lies.

A dyslexic British designer:

- Saved Apple with one product
- Advised Star Wars on lightsabers
- Won a knighthood from the Queen
- Created the iPhone, iPad, & AirPods
- And just got $6.5B from Sam Altman

But his craziest break happened in Apple's basement in 1997.

A Thread 🧵 Apple in 1997 was dying.

90 days from bankruptcy. Making boring beige boxes nobody wanted.

In the basement, a 30-year-old British designer named Jony Ive was ready to quit.

5 years of brilliant designs killed by clueless executives.

Then Steve Jobs walked in...

This SaaS startup was burning VC money with no traction.

Their solution? A radical experiment combining 4 sales roles into one.

18 months later: $1.5B valuation and 8,000+ customers including OpenAI.

How a desperate move created Silicon Valley's hottest new job 🧵 Clay today:

- Valuation: $500M → $1.5B in 18 months
- Revenue growth: 10x in 2023, 6x in 2024
- 8,000+ customers including OpenAI & Anthropic

The shift?

They ignored the usual SaaS playbook, and did what no investor would’ve recommended..

No one has probably noticed this before...

But a $10B family-owned business (LEGO) and a $3T company (Apple) have something in common.

Both businesses were on the verge of bankruptcy due to the same reason once.

And they saved themselves by doing the same thing. How? 🧵 Let's talk about Apple first.

In 1985, the board fired Steve Jobs and made John Sculley the CEO.

Reason being Jobs would focus on making "perfect" products instead of profitability.

On top of that, the Lisa computer was a commercial failure.

This company hasn't had a manager in 65 years.

They've produced 5,600 patents and $4 billion in revenue with ZERO formal hierarchy.

Employees choose their own work and set each other's pay.

And they're outperforming every competitor in their industry.

A thread🧵 Gore's achievements are one to pay attention to:

- Over 13,000 employees
- $350,000 revenue per employee
- Been on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" every year since the list began in 1984

And they have achieved that with ZERO traditional management layer.

The question is HOW?

In 2013, a 21-year-old emailed Mark Cuban from a Motel 6 after watching Shark Tank.

Cuban replied in 45 minutes.

That cold email eventually led to 230M+ in funding an AI company that predicts laws before Congress.

How a 5-line cold email started it all 🧵 That 21-year-old was Tim Hwang. At 17, he was elected to Maryland's Board of Education, overseeing a $4 billion budget.

At 19, he founded the National Youth Association with 750,000 members.

But his work on Obama's campaign exposed a government problem nobody had solved...

(Tim with NVIDIA's Jenson Huang 👇🏻)

Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos.
They all scaled by thinking backwards.

I used the same principle to grow my startup ColdIQ from $0 to $4.5M ARR in 2 years.

It’s not about working harder.
It’s about engineering outcomes.

The system behind 10x growth: 🧵 It’s called Theory of Change.
A framework to reverse engineer outcomes.

Start by asking:

- What must happen? (terminal impact)
- What must happen before that? (pre-conditions)
- What triggers it? (Causal actions)

Thinking backwards from impact to actions is Theory of Change.
