Grok 4.7 is now the LEAST sycophantic model evaluated by Artificial Analysis, and the improvement across recent Grok releases is absolutely incredible
Artificial Analysis' AA-PersonalityBench shows that with every new release, Grok is becoming less sycophantic, more sincere, and producing significantly less unnecessary filler
That's a 62-point drop in Slop, a 17-point drop in Sycophantic, and a massive 64-point increase in Sincere across just three releases
Less unnecessary filler, less agreeing with everything users say, and more authentic, direct responses
Grok is becoming the kind of SI assistant that gives you straight answers instead of simply telling you what you want to hear. This is exactly the kinda superintelligence you need
The Boring Company is now moving SHIPPING CONTAINERS underground
Its latest Prufrock Liner Truck runs on Tesla Model 3 batteries and drive units, and has been modified to carry a standard 20-foot shipping container through TBC tunnels
And the numbers are impressive:
• Rev 1: 45,000 lb payload capacity • Rev 2: 75,000 lb payload capacity, targeted for January 2027 • Fully electric, powered by Tesla technology • Designed to transport standard shipping containers underground
Now imagine shipping containers moving beneath cities, factories, ports, and logistics hubs, without thousands of additional trucks clogging the roads above
Roads above ground for people Tunnels underground for cargo
The Boring Company is going far beyond passenger transportation, opening up an entirely new opportunity for moving freight underground
This could transform how goods are transported through our cities
Neuralink engineers just built 8 incredible features in only 72 HOURS, working alongside Kenneth, a VOICE study participant with ALS
The team spent three days developing and testing technology designed to turn his thoughts into speech and make everyday communication easier
Here's what they accomplished:
1. Neural voice activity detection - automatically recognizes when he intends to speak 2. Real-time neural visualizations - displays neural activity as it happens 3. Grok agent integration - a prototype that performs computer tasks from instructions given through his thoughts 4. Ordering coffee in public - his thoughts are converted into spoken words through his phone 5. iOS keyboard dictation - enters text directly into iPhone apps using brain signals 6. New editing flow - makes correcting and editing decoded speech easier 7. Lock screen Live Activity - enables speech without unlocking his phone 8. Speech into phone calls - sends his synthesized voice directly into conversations
And the most extraordinary part is seeing this technology being demonstrated beyond the laboratory and being used in the real world
Kenneth is already using Neuralink to order coffee, interact with his computer, and have phone conversations with his loved ones
All eight features were developed and demonstrated during a 72-hour engineering sprint
Kenneth answered his own phone call for the first time with Neuralink
You can see just how happy Kenneth is as he talks to his mom on the phone by himself for the first time using Neuralink, and it's absolutely incredible
Kenneth has ALS, and until now, his wife Cheryl had to interpret for him whenever he took a phone call
So the Neuralink team built a system to give him back that independence:
• His intended speech is decoded from brain signals into words • The Speech app sends his synthesized voice directly into the call • Kenneth hears his own words without creating an echo
Then his mom called, and Kenneth was finally able to have the conversation himself
“I am going to hang up and make dinner now. We are going to have Korean" "Love you, son”
For most people, that's just an ordinary phone conversation. But for Kenneth, it's an extraordinary moment of independence
Neuralink isn't just restoring communication. It's giving people back their independence and the everyday moments with loved ones that mean everything
Starlink just turned Canadian phones into global satellite phones
Rogers just expanded its satellite-to-mobile roaming to Japan, Australia and New Zealand, on top of the U.S.
Rogers is powered by SpaceX's Starlink satellites, and now Canadians can stay connected in 4 countries abroad wherever cell towers don't reach
And the possibilities are incredible:
• Text from remote trails in New Zealand and the Australian outback • 𝕏, WhatsApp and Messenger straight over satellite • Google Maps and AllTrails navigation with zero bars • Real-time AccuWeather updates in the backcountry • Included at no extra cost on eligible plans and Travel Passes
Partner networks in each country are connecting to the same Starlink layer: Docomo, KDDI and SoftBank in Japan, Telstra in Australia, One NZ in New Zealand and T-Mobile in the U.S.
Starlink Direct to Cell is becoming one global network where your phone just works, no matter which country you land in
Starlink is expanding business and government connectivity in Japan 🇯🇵
Japanese telecom provider STNet is working with KDDI to launch a new service combining Starlink Business with its ST-WAN private network
Starting November 1, the service will help businesses and local governments across the Shikoku region connect their facilities to existing internal networks using Starlink
The service will also provide backup connectivity during natural disasters and network outages, while helping connect remote mountainous areas and islands where traditional fiber infrastructure is difficult to deploy
SpaceX continues expanding Starlink's role in Japan's critical communications infrastructure, bringing reliable satellite connectivity to businesses and communities when they need it most
SpaceX is gearing up to launch Starship Flight 15 as early as November 12, and this mission is going to be absolutely epic
The date has appeared in an FAA air traffic planning presentation, listing November 12 as the preliminary planning date for Starship's next flight
And preparations are moving fast:
• Super Heavy Booster 22 has completed its full-duration 33-engine static fire • Starship Ship 42 has completed its six-engine static fire and a single-engine simulated deorbit burn
SpaceX is preparing to attempt catching both Super Heavy and Starship with launch towers for the first time in a single mission
Flight 15 represents an extraordinary milestone in SpaceX's journey toward the world's first fully and rapidly reusable orbital rocket system
November is shaping up to be an incredible month for Starship
Starlink Mobile is getting closer to a massive expansion across the United States as the FCC considers unlocking 482 MHz of additional spectrum for satellite-to-phone connectivity
The FCC just voted to advance a major proposal to make an additional 482 MHz of spectrum available for direct-to-device satellite services, while removing regulatory barriers that have limited their expansion
For SpaceX's Starlink Mobile, this opens up enormous opportunities to expand network capacity, improve connectivity, and bring high-speed satellite internet directly to ordinary smartphones
SpaceX is already building its next-generation Starlink Mobile network, with authorization for a constellation of up to 15,000 direct-to-device satellites
And now the regulatory framework is moving toward making satellite-to-phone connectivity even more accessible
The future of eliminating mobile dead zones is getting closer
Tesla Model Y just earned a 5-star sustainability rating from Green NCAP with an outstanding 93% overall score
The 2026 Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive delivered impressive results:
• 10/10 for Greenhouse Gases • 9.0/10 for Clean Air • 8.9/10 for Energy Efficiency • Just 12.7 kWh/100 km in hot-weather urban driving • Only 95 g CO₂-eq/km in total life-cycle emissions, the lowest ever published by Green NCAP
Green NCAP independently verified Tesla's vehicle and battery manufacturing data, confirming the effectiveness of its efforts to reduce emissions throughout production
What's even more impressive is that these results come from a 1.9-ton electric SUV
Tesla continues to push the boundaries of vehicle efficiency, sustainable manufacturing, and electric mobility
Gabon is preparing to authorize Starlink to bring internet access to over 200 villages that remain unconnected 🇬🇦
Digital Economy Minister Mark-Alexandre Doumba highlighted that some villages have just 20–30 residents, making traditional cell towers and fiber infrastructure difficult to justify economically
Starlink will help connect these remote communities without the need for expensive ground infrastructure
Terry's first time using his Neuralink implant to communicate through his thoughts is absolutely incredible
Terry was diagnosed with ALS in 2024, a disease that has progressively affected his ability to speak
Now, Neuralink is translating his intended speech directly from brain signals into words, with Grok Voice recreating his own natural voice
Watching Terry's emotional reaction as he hears his words come through is such a powerful moment
This is so much bigger than technology
It's about giving people who have lost their ability to speak the opportunity to communicate, express themselves, and reconnect with the people they love
CARV ID: the subject. D.A.T.A. Framework: the context. SVM Chain: the submitted action. Verifier Nodes: the supporting checks. base:0xc08cd26474722ce93f4d0c34d16201461c10aa8c: economic support for the network.
Applications connect the evidence. Counterparties decide what it means.
Most people still don't understand what sustainability is really about and how it can be achieved
The most important thing that makes sustainability possible at scale is abundant energy
Energy is the foundation of nearly everything humanity does. From producing food and clean water to transportation, manufacturing, housing, and running entire economies
Once we achieve extraordinary abundance in clean energy, which is basically from solar, we unlock the ability to make nearly every sector of civilization more sustainable
Energy has always been a fundamental limitation on what humanity is able to achieve. Remove that limitation, and the possibilities become absolutely extraordinary
And yet, instead of focusing on building a future of abundant sustainable energy, we have activists obsessing over cows and treating livestock as though eliminating them is the solution to global warming... Don't know how people came up with this stupid argument
It's absolutely insane that people are so focused on getting rid of cows when we have an entire future of technological progress and energy abundance to build
