Grok 4 is Nearing AGI But... Can Elon Get Out Of The Way?
Manage episode 493860957 series 3467500
Grok 4 from xAI just aced “Humanity’s Last Exam” benchmarks while Grok 3 had a catastrophic public meltdown. What does this mean for the future of AI and Elon Musk’s credibility?
And, in other AI news, OpenAI’s GPT-5 is rumored to land next week along with a new open-source reasoning model, Google’s DeepMind launches AI-designed drugs into human trials, and Perplexity’s new AI browser Comet sparks OpenAI’s plan to crush Chrome.
PLUS YouTube cracks down on AI-generated spam while updating image-to-video in VEO 3, Moon Valley releases an “ethical” AI video platform, and why you should probably stop kicking robots.
AI IS GETTING SMARTER...BUT WE STILL CONTROL THE TREATS.
