We’re working on making Grok Build super easy to use for non-technical people

Wow
OpenAI HR told Leopold that a major reason for his firing was the memo he'd sent the board warning how broken OAI's security was.
What happened next makes me even prouder to call him a friend.
People may have forgotten, but up until 2024, OpenAI had this secret non-disparagement clause in their off-boarding agreement. If you didn’t sign it, they'd clawback all your equity.
As far as I'm aware, there were only two people ever who didn’t sign it - @DKokotajlo, and Leopold Aschenbrenner.
Of all the researchers who left OpenAI before 2024, who had far more to fall back on, Leopold, all of 22 years old, was one of the only ones willing to refuse the golden handcuffs, and say, "I want to preserve my right to talk about safety and security at OAI.”
We have a lot of disagreements, but he's among the most principled and resilient people I know.

Grok Build officially reaches v1.0.0, rapidly becoming one of the most powerful coding harnesses in the world
After 100+ updates in just over 10 weeks, SpaceXAI’s coding agent has hit a major milestone.......with a smarter dashboard, a more polished developer experience, stronger reliability, safer permission handling, and meaningful performance improvements across the platform
The pace at which SpaceXAI is shipping Grok Build is totally insane
Release Notes: v1.0.0
Features:
• Dashboard rows show a short summary of what the agent did in the previous turn
• Extensions modal groups items alphabetically with collapsible Skills sections
• Grok skips the project-directory prompt when launched from home or other non-project directories
• `/feedback` opens a dedicated report box instead of prompt mode
• Auto theme detection works over SSH and inside tmux
• Markdown tables reflow inside cells on narrow panes instead of clipping
• Permission prompts show the complete script; long bash bodies expand with `Ctrl-F`
Bug Fixes:
• MCP tools that return images no longer drop or corrupt large screenshots
• Sandboxed Grok starts on large directories with many deny-glob matches
• Rapid send-now presses no longer lose earlier queued messages
• Esc and stop prevent background tasks from restarting the model after cancel
• Login no longer skips when an invalid API key is in the environment
• Model picker and command palette work while reviewing a plan
• Tab and Esc behave consistently on question, permission, and cancel-turn cards
• `/new` from the dashboard returns to the dashboard from an empty prompt
• Codebase restore no longer hangs on large or shallow git repositories
• Remote resume restores conversation only unless `--restore-code` is passed
• Copying CJK text with the mouse includes every character at the selection edges
• API errors appear as clean banners instead of raw JSON dumps
• Typing exit or quit in the dashboard exits the CLI
• Mode indicator (plan/agent/ask) stays in sync after resume and mode changes
• `/delete` returns to the dashboard when you delete a session opened from it
• Enter in the slash command menu runs the highlighted command
• Grok retries more server errors during outages
• Session-only slash commands show a message when used from the dashboard
• Queued prompts stay visible while waiting on subagents, and slash/image rows can be reordered
• Auto recaps no longer appear mid-turn or while busy
• `/btw` error messages wrap fully
Performance:
• Forking very large sessions no longer uses many times the session file size in memory
• Exiting an empty session is instant, even on slow networks
💯
Socialists are Hitler
Hitler was a socialist.
American socialists say that Hitler was not a socialist because they do not want you to realize that they share many beliefs in common with Hitler.
Hitler was extremely proud of being a socialist.
Hitler called himself a socialist, from start to finish, throughout his political career.
There was never a time Hitler disavowed socialism.
He expounded on his socialist positions often, and he called them socialist, and they were socialist.
The "Nazi" party is short for National Socialist German Workers' Party.
All socialism eventually leads to the sorts of atrocities that occurred under Hitler, even the "nice" socialism of Europe.
That is why we see many terrible things -- rapes and murders at an increasing rate, covered up by the authorities -- that are happening in Europe today.
Do not let a socialist tell you that Hitler was not a socialist.
Hitler was a socialist.
