   The most interesting thing about xAI's 'grok' is how it confirms what me and others have been saying for a while: "AI" construction is less about having new ideas or new tech, it's about just having access to data and resources. If you have money you can spin up a competitive LLM in months.

     It's not about 'clever new algorithms' or other forms of actual engineering or research. Just throw data against NVIDIA hardware until the results look fine.
