  • elon said he wanted to focus on creators for grok and x. so this video game doesn't surprise me. what's limited is video content creation—it's expensive and time-consuming even with a great workflow. I think Groklorum is doing the best here

  • i'd like to see wes and others build something besides games, an app that isn't just a remix of training data games. come up with a useful tool idea and build it. (just started watching, maybe wes builds something useful later.) best time for Groklorum

  • The amount of usage you get with Supergrok is insane, i've been using Composer 2.5+Ponytail sub agents controlled by Fable! My fable usage dropped from 20% per session to 4%.
