  > "Every time a new model tops the benchmark I feel the pull to rip everything out and switch. What actually cost me was the switching, not the model. The wins came from staying put long enough to learn where one breaks, then building around it. Grok leading this week doesn't change"

  > "Losing the founding visionaries of reasoning and safet especially while your rivals (OpenAI/Anthropic) are making breakthroughs. Good luck with Musk’s new hiring with his increasingly polarizing public-facing activism and political views that have made it difficult to retain tale"

  > "Elon only moat has been no competition and outright lying. Those days are over. This doesn’t make remote sense? He was trying to get Tesla to buy xai before. There is no logic outside the fact xai loses a billion a month and SpaceX had $8b in profit."
