Does anyone know how SuperGrok @grok billing works for Enterprise? From time to time I get invoices via email for random amounts with no indication of balance owed. For example if I use grok build with an API key, will I use subscription or surprise invoice for $10k? @elonmusk

Hope you enjoyed leveraging our latest models to build your entire load-bearing corporate workflow; due to “signals” you’re now high and dry — best of luck chaps!
Anthropic gave me 6 months of Claude Max 20× through its OSS program. It lasted 6 days. Apparently, the “20×” included the cancellation speed. Thank you, @AnthropicAI 💔

Can someone for the love of god explain to me how @grok build bills its business plans? I see a tremendous amount of credit that appeared after buying some seats but is it shared/weekly pool? I also do not see any usage showing up under the business tab.

The @McDonalds at the Denver airport C gates is the single most efficient establishment I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. They had coffees and orange juice pre-poured and had my à la carte breakfast done in legit 60 seconds. Absolute fast food masterclass.

How are people preparing for the Anthropic Fable-pocalpyse when it becomes extra usage only in 11 days? Is there some way to pre-specify task definitions that should get Fable and those where opus is sufficient?

What a nightmare. I have two orders unfulfilled and can’t get any of the data out. I can’t even reach out to let these people know what’s going on.

We all been making fun of @Apple for bungling the AI rollout but jokes on us: they have the most important feature implemented from day 1. @Microsoft might be able to learn something here.

Claude successfully reverse engineered the driver and nozzle patterns of a Chinese Newyes inkjet printer. It also enabled me to identify an error in their firmware USB stack as well as identify that their nozzle map in their driver was off by one. wild. github.com/nickandre/newyes-…

Example of my Python image rendering versus the native windows driver. Kinda wild this stuff would not be doable by mere mortals with a job.

AI coding philosophy musings: Base Claude is 10000x more productive than I was before — it requires that I can think laterally. Not everyone can. The new skill is “can I teach this ADD-laden rowdy 12 year old who is also a servant to do what I need.” Optimizations and day to day shifts will modulate the productivity between 5,000 and 20,000x but the skill of working with the chaos machine is the key benefit. The old philosophy of code quality and domain expertise is gone. Anyone who dismisses the value of the new tools offhand is to be ignored. “I once tried to use a drill and cut myself therefore drills are bullshit.” The workflow is “can I second order infer based upon the responses what next context I have to drip feed in what order to restore this chaos to the right direction.” The best analogy is a rusty 1997 Chevy S10 with a cinder block on the gas going down a snowy road with your goal being to pile up snowbanks on either side to keep it moving directionally forward. Conservative thinking is gone. Hail Mary with a plan B to regress context only as needed is how things will be done efficiently. We now push the model to the absolute extreme and then walk back towards specificity only as needed. This allows us to discover the limits as the situation improves. It’s sufficient to focus on the core skill without worrying about the syntactic sugar. Features be flying. Swap notes but it’s ok to hunker down for a week and actually do things. We can adapt in the future as long as we remain adaptable. I’m back to coding though sail on sailors 🫡

Someone want to explain to me why Microsoft Word once ran comfortably alongside windows in 8MB of RAM but my python web gui front end that makes a few API calls is absolutely thrashing in 4 GB?

Introducing the SplinterFork from @AlaskaAir. I’m old enough to remember when you could eat your food without sixty small slivers of spork stabbing into your tongue. But this should solve climate change so it’s a noble sacrifice.

Captain on AS460 said there’s zero gas left at @SeaTacAirport. Stopped for gas at the other Logan airport. No ETA for the Olympic pipeline reopening. Thankfully no busy travel days coming up or anything 🪦 Good luck seattle 😂

My @AlaskaAir flight is apparently caught in the fuel crunch at SeaTac airport. Apparently there is no ETA on when the Olympic pipeline is expected to reopen ahead of the thanksgiving travel season. And they’ve suspended duty time restrictions for truckers to haul in fuel 😂
