| Yes but someone will be along shortly to defuse what sounds like giving the bad mars man credit where it’s due. Like everything else he does that works out, it was just luck, timing, actually a mistake that worked out, or someone else behind the scenes that he got lucky in hiring at the right time (by accident). |

| If he’s so smart why isn’t grok using all that capacity? |

| ▲ | transcriptase 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Building excess capacity from the start and selling it for a billion a month to constrained competitors. I only wish I could be so dumb. | | |

Instead grok is a flop and now he has extra capacity. If xai was a data center he’d be smart. But it is a failed Ai venture. It’s like training your dog not to jump on the sofa. But then you fail to train to stay off and then brag about how you trained it to stay ON the sofa. | | | |

But to be more serious: It is impossible to say if this is good or bad for XAI without more numbers. What if they bought their compute way over market price and sell it at a loss? |
