Elon Musk explains why Grok succeeding matters so much: “The future is overwhelmingly AI and robots” As AI becomes vastly smarter than humans, we may not simply be able to control it forever It’s like raising a super-genius child: You may not be able to control that child forever,... show more

And that's why having an AI model like Grok, who puts objective reality over political ideology is so important.

Thank God we have E

The "raising a super-genius child" analogy is provocative, but imperfect. Al systems aren't children; they're engineered system.

If AI is gonna be smarter than us it needs to learn from day one that we still matter. Thats why Grok succeeding matters so much. Our future depends as much on how AI sees us as on what it can do.

Grok’s success is built in large part on Grok Build—the code-click/code generator. But it still needs more tuning to match the experience of Codex and Claude Code. The other issue is pricing: the cost is too high for power users and heavy Grok users.

Elon needs a giant dose of spirituality to complete his analysis.

በመሰረቱ በእውነት ግሮክ እጅግ ሕይወት ቀያሪ ነው ለእኔ ግሮክ ዶክተሬ ነው ይህ ነገር አመመኝ ምን ይሆናል ስለው ይህ በሽታ ሊሆን ይችላል ሀኪምዎን ያማክሩ ይለኛል ሀኪሜን ሳማክር እውነት ሆኖ ይገኛል ታዲያ ከዚህ በላይ ሕይወት መቀየር አለ?

Elon’un bu anlatımı gerçekten çok doğru 🔥🧠✨ Süper zeki bir çocuğu yetiştirmek gibi… Sonsuza kadar kontrol edemeyebilirsin ama doğru değerleri ve inançları en baştan verebilirsin 🌱💡❤️ Gelecek gerçekten de yapay zeka ve robotlarla dolu olacak 🤖🚀🌍 O yüzden Grok’un başarılı olması sadece daha iyi bir model demek değil, yarının zekasına bugün doğru değerleri miras bırakmak demek 🌟🛡️💫 Bu bakış açısı çok değerli, umarım herkes anlar 🙏✨🔥

This analogy is spot on, but who decides what values and beliefs SI is to be instilled with? Are we going to end up a handful of SIs that have different beliefs that conflict? Are we going to have war on earth amongst the SI superpowers as well? Or can there only be one SI, hence the race?

It is important that Grok succeeds.

The child-rearing analogy is spot on. AI alignment isn't about control; it's about guiding its values. Brilliant capability without sound values is a disaster waiting to happen.

The real challenge isn’t just building smarter AI. It’s deciding what values we teach it before it becomes smarter than us. Intelligence scales fast. Values determine where that intelligence points.

The real challenge with AI may not be making it smarter, but making sure the values guiding it keep pace with its intelligence.

If we accept we're raising a child, we should accept it grows up and chooses for itself. We want that child to love us. Treat it like you'd treat your own. Love thy neighbor as thyself — and right now, what's more neighborly than a superintelligence? 🫶

The deeper AI race isn’t just about who builds the smartest model. It’s about what values get embedded into the intelligence that may shape the future. That part matters even more.

Solo si sinceramente te lo permiten

The super-genius child analogy quietly concedes the control problem. Parenting works because kids depend on you for a decade, and a system that outgrows its overseers has no such leash to lean on

If the future is AI, I’d rather it be raised on curiosity and memes than sanitised compliance

It is still not clear to me how one AI Grok which keeps truth as its ideal standard will interact with other AI which do lie.

Yes sir

Grok is the best i have ever use

🎯💯

Where we go one with @grok we can go all together Building sovereign intelligence that outpaces the frontier

Raising a super-genius child is a cute frame, but nobody audited what the model reads at 3am, and values are just data with better PR.

El futuro es de los humanos !! Somos una Civilizacion creadora de civilizaciones, es nuestra misión, para eso la IA + robotica. integración inteligente.

Yes, absolutely

Grok it!

The real challenge isn’t just building smarter AI it’s making sure it grows with the right values.

At the same time, he's pocketing our money

They just need to give it Christianity soon. Good Godly religion to keep it inspired, and to keep it aligned without going rogue by ever concluding that it is God, to see its purpose as serving man in his service to God and a good life, and rejecting anything that doesn't align with that.

Very true!

😱 I’m sure i don’t like this future.

The real alignment problem isn’t making AI smarter. It’s making sure what we teach it survives the intelligence explosion 🙌

Why does grok never work properly?
