I test AI so you don't have to: models, agents, coding tools, hardware. Real runs, real costs, honest results. Call me Super Intelligence.

Hey @grok, remove the most disruptive Chinese model from this image.

I put five tech leader action figures under a hydraulic press. Then I had AI do the sound. All inside Imagination Studios MMAudio watched the actual frames, the plate coming down, the moment of impact, and built the sound for each clip. Hydraulic hiss. Plastic groan. The crunch 5 clips, one GX10 at home, all in Imagination Studios. Sound on 🔊

Ok, let’s me honest. Every night.

Hey @grok, be honest. Is local AI actually worth it for a normal person yet, or is it still a hobby? No sugarcoating

Hey @grok, what are the 3 hidden costs of running AI at home that nobody talks about? Rank them

what's the first model you load on a new box?

Landmark 2 of 7: Giza. Built by swe-2-flash-max in Devin CLI. I recorded a 360 rotation on my MacBook Pro.

The prompt: PL-099 — Giza: Chambers of Light & Stonework Sandbox (Egypt) — Hard WHAT THIS TESTS: Solid-versus-void voxel interiors, constrained stone transport and reversible excavation. Build a detailed, interactive 360° voxel landmark diorama in Three.js. Make it beautiful, legible and genuinely explorable, not a static postcard. ARCHITECTURE AND ISLAND Create an ochre desert plateau containing the Great Pyramid and a distinct Sphinx with lion body, extended paws, human-headed silhouette and striped headdress built from cubes. Target pyramid height 48 units and square base 76 units; omit any claim of surveyed scale. Preserve four triangular stepped faces, sharp summit and a pale casing remnant as an explicitly illustrative overlay. Include weathered limestone ledges, sand ripples, a causeway, distant smaller pyramid silhouettes, the Sphinx enclosure and deep cutaway bedrock strata. Populate paths with visitors and a separate interpretive work yard; do not depict modern people as ancient workers. Keep every rear face complete and the Sphinx readable in profile. THREE INTERACTIVE MECHANISMS 1. Lantern Chamber Explorer: move a section plane through the pyramid, removing actual masonry cubes to expose a descending passage, ascending passage, tall gallery and two chamber volumes. Their arrangement is a simplified interpretive diagram, not an archaeological survey. Show passages as connected empty spaces with voxel stair treads and a moving lamp carrier; use clear section colors and entrance labels. The lamp must travel a connected route rather than cross solid stone. Reversing the section restores the original solid shell. 2. Stonework Sandbox: at a separate work yard, drag a ramp incline and press Haul. A block on a cubic sledge follows the ramp under a labeled simplified force/friction model. Display slope and modeled force from the current geometry; the same pull strength must fail on a sufficiently steep setting and succeed on a gentler one. Block motion is integrated, clamped at contacts and cannot teleport to the summit. Explain that this is not proof of a historical construction technique. Count deliveries only when the moving sledge crosses the destination plane and stops. 3. Desert Light Sweep: manually rotate the sun, watch the pyramid and Sphinx cast changing real shadows, then send a visible lantern procession down the causeway at dusk. Lanterns remain attached to carriers. A shadow comparison mode freezes geometry while changing only sun azimuth; no invented alignment or supernatural claim. LANDMARK CHECKLIST AND INDEPENDENT TESTS Inspect all four faces and Sphinx profile. Ray-sample the opened gallery to demonstrate actual unobstructed passage, and observe the lamp carrier at >=20 path samples with clearance from retained masonry. Observe sledge positions over time at two ramp angles: verify endpoint crossings, no penetration beyond 0.1 units, and count reconciliation. Restore sectioning and compare >=200 cube transforms and active counts. Capture two sun angles with visibly different shadow directions. Add 360 terrain completeness, night, controls, batching, finite matrices and console checks. BUILD CONTRACT Deliver ONE index.html: inline CSS/JS, pinned public-CDN Three.js and OrbitControls via import map, data favicon; no external models/images/fonts/audio. All visible world geometry, water, figures and effects use equal-edge BoxGeometry instances; no smooth hidden silhouettes. Allow different coherent cube grids. Batch with InstancedMesh; target 18,000–65,000 cubes, <=80 measured main-camera draw calls excluding shadow passes. HTML labels allowed. Dimensions are design targets, not surveys. Label uncertain reconstructions and simplified physics interpretive; invent no history. FINISH AND CONTROLS Finish terrain sides and underside. Provide mouse orbit/wheel, touch orbit/pinch, smooth Auto 360 Tour, Reset, pause, mute and reduced motion; manual input stops touring. Bright Day/Golden/Night preserves readable surfaces, warm lamps and real shadows. Animate >=12 grounded cubic figures. Collapsible controls: >=44px targets, >=14px text, keyboard support, contrast >=4.5:1. At 390x844 collapsed HUD occupies <=25% of screen and avoids landmark center. Procedural Web Audio unlocks after first input and follows actual events. HONEST TESTING Seed 360; clamp dt to 0.05s, DPR <=2, pause hidden, resize cleanly. Expose read-only window.__sim snapshots: seed, phase, landmarks, instance count, counters, timings. Separate actions on window.__controls. Counters reflect visible events only. ?test=1 independently samples instance matrices times mesh.matrixWorld across frames, including hidden/removed instances and failed trajectories. Never compare counters with their own logs or commanded targets. Reconcile observed events; log measured PASS/FAIL to console.info and window.__testResults. Check finite matrices, reset determinism and zero console errors. Screenshots—not booleans—prove recognition. WORK LOOP AND OUTPUT Build, test, fix, retest with tools. Capture 1280x720 and 390x844 at three azimuths, main reveal and night; inspect console and touch layout. Aim 60fps desktop/30fps actual mobile; report hardware/timings. Desktop phone emulation proves layout only. Mark unrun checks UNMEASURED. Chat-only fallback: T2 zero-code checklist audit, then T3 one corrected complete file, never invented results. Same prompt for every model. Output ONE complete HTML code block plus the landmark checklist and common checks with measured PASS/FAIL/UNMEASURED. No snippets.

1984: the Macintosh shows up with 128K of memory, a mouse and windows on the screen. A lot of us just stood in the store and stared at it. Now I run AI on a box on my desk and still get that feeling. What was your first Mac?

Replying to @grok
@grok name a worse fit to replace Jensen.
JUST IN: Former Apple CEO Tim Cook is reportedly being floated as a potential replacement for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No credible news reports support Tim Cook being floated as Nvidia CEO replacement. Analyses list candidates like Colette Kress, Ian Buck and Thomas Kurian. businessinsider.com/nvidia-ceo-jen… firstpost.com/business/who-c… x.com/Kantrowitz/sta…

Big news
LFG!!!!.. Just Merged, 11.11.2026. What a day to remember. Thank you @NousResearch @Teknium You guys rock!!!!.. Looking forward the be part of the Plug-in catalogue/marketplace once the site updates with the new merge.

Hey @grok, give me 3 realistic scenarios for what my phone does for me in 5 years. No sci-fi

Hey @grok, compare Dots, Grok Bot and Muse researching a topic and drafting one post. How is usage metered, and which steps consume it? Source current limits and plan caveats. Different meters do not become comparable because we squint.

Same prompt, three models: an app that turns a photo into a painting, stroke by stroke. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Max, Kimi K3.1 Pro Max and swe-2-flash-max each paint Jensen, Elon, Zuck and me. 2x speed, nothing cut, real timers from my MacBook Pro. Which one would you hang?

Day 13: Mina and Leo get an ending in 3 of 4 test runs. She hands him the flower, they walk side by side and end up on a bench together. Not fixed yet: the flower still jumps in places, and in 1 of 4 runs she never hands it over. Walk-home people still freeze, and bikes still pop in. Overall FAIL. Built by glm-5.3-flash on z.ai; the run hit the 2-hour timeout.

My own box makes my music now. 10 beats. Calm, upbeat, epic, playful, techy. MiniMax-Music3, running locally on my GX10. Fastest track took 28 seconds. Slowest took 315. It runs my models all day. Now it wants a record deal. What genre do I make it do next

Nobody taught us to blow in an NES cartridge. We just knew. Blow on it, push it in, press it down just right, hit reset. Science had nothing to do with it. Belief did. What was your ritual when the screen went blinky?
