Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
Intelligence is on tap now so agency is even more important

The only model I found that was actually ~egalitarian over race, sex, and immigration status (not viewing whites, men, Americans/ICE agents as less valuable) was Grok 4 Fast. I was surprised and impressed, because I think this was intentional. Kudos to Musk and xAI.

5 years ago today, Starlink connected our first paying customer with high-speed, low-latency internet from space. Today, Wendy and Sean are joined by over 7M people across 150 countries, territories and markets staying connected with Starlink. Thank you to all of our customers.
Elon Musk: In ~2 years, your phone will connect directly to Starlink satellites. “You’ll be able to watch videos anywhere on your phone.” No regional carriers. No dead zones.

Exactly
Replying to @CathieDWood
Based on preliminary research, no company in history has grown EBITDA 41% at an annual rate, or ~30-fold, over 10 years. If Elon and team meet these goals, the impact will be much greater than on Tesla alone: productivity and real GDP growth will accelerate meaningfully, auto fatalities will drop more than 50%, and all Tesla shareholders—importantly, its employees and their families—will become more wealthy than they ever dreamed possible.

OpenAI is built on a lie
Every so often, OpenAI employees ask me how I see the co now. It's always tough to give a simple answer. Some things they're doing, eg on CoT monitoring or building out system cards, are great. But the dishonesty & intimidation tactics in their policy work are really not. E.g:
xAI NEWS: Just now, xAI held a ground-breaking ceremony for its $80 million Colossus Water Recycling Plant in southwest Memphis, Tennessee. xAI's Colossus Lead, Brent Mayo (u/BrentM_SpaceX) spoke on how xAI is embracing the local community and driving involvement to help improve the schools, havens, and businesses. The Water Recycling facility will be equipped with the world’s largest ceramic membrane bioreactor wastewater recycling system and process up to 13 million gallons of wastewater daily to cool the Colossus supercomputer and two nearby industries, eliminating reliance on the Memphis Aquifer. The project follows the Memphis City Council’s March 2025 approval to sell approximately 13 acres of city land to xAI for the facility’s construction. Great job, Brent and the whole xAI team! Let the work begin!
