Musk's Image Chatbot Grok Has Little Limits

Episode 389: Neal and Kyle discuss Biden’s historic Medicare negotiating power that is set to discount many drugs for Americans, an estimated cost savings of $6B. Then, Walmart reports their earnings and it looks like the retail king keeps their crown as sales hit a near all-time high. Next, Musk releases a new version of his image generator, Grok, which doesn’t care too much about the rules most AI tools should abide by. Meanwhile, the FTC finalizes a ban on fake reviews that companies use to coax customers. Plus, newly minted Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol gets a hefty pay package, dubbing him the ‘LeBron James’ of restaurants. Lastly, Steve Ballmer’s $2B Inuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, is set to open with a performance by Bruno Mars.

I think people are reading the Walmart earnings wrong.

It’s not that the American consumer is doing great because Walmart’s revenue went up, it’s that Walmart’s revenue went up because weakened consumers are looking for lower prices.

"Amount of people" because we measure people by the pound.

Weird that you guys constantly lambast Trump and Elon musk meanwhile no reporting of Kamala Harris copying Trump's "no tax on tips" policy proposal nor report the potentially disastrous Harris proposal of price fixing groceries under the name of "Banning price gouging"
