I've updated the Xtv app to now treat Lists as channels, and created a channel named Slopcore as an example. You can see your normal feed on the right side (can swap between For You, Following, Mentions, etc).
This is a sneak peek at what it looks like - I feel like this is a legitimate metamorphosis of X as a platform and it is easy to integrate into broadcast platforms. I wish @X @elonmusk would consider it.
I’ve now built “XTV” into my Roku device, and it works seamlessly.
@elonmusk I think X should make something like this for premium users, it’s super useful for monitoring the situation.
Quick reminder that every single vulnerability announced was already there and was only discovered by virtue of AI tool use. It's not like the AI invented new vulnerabilities, it simply exposed them - which is precisely what you do before you fix them.
I had a lot of people request a Lil' Samwise music video, so here you go.

The whole workflow for AI slopcore music video production is tightening up to where the results can be produced much quicker. I recommend filmmakers and creatives play around with creating music videos specifically to keep their skills sharp.

Just created XTV, which is an app that allows your X account to be turned into a TV network and play in your TV/Projector. The videos are pulled in from your preferences/likes/bookmarks/accounts you've engaged with etc - so the playlist is your playlist. It allows you to skip forward to other videos and it has an overlay of your X feed on the right side as well as active notifications for people engaging with your account.
I think this is a useful feature and i really wish the X team would build it for real and have it compatible for every TV. Will tinker with it a bit more and then will package up the code if anyone is interested.
@X @elonmusk
Lil' Vader' Mace Windu is an instant classic, but I would put my Lil' Frodo's One Ring, One Road tune up against it.
It would be super cool to have a Grok Bot music video contest; call it SlopFest. What do you think @elonmusk?

For those enjoying my Lil' Frodo tune, here's the clapback by Sauron, with his hit song "Murdered in Mordor"

Making music videos with AI is the ultimate challenge; and it's a lot of fun. Grok is very good at it, but paired with Suno and Runway it really shines. I think @elonmusk should have a Grok music video contest. Here's Vegeta from DBZ rapping "Never Kneel" for all the DBZ fans out there.
Notice the continued use of "twitter" not "X". I think the issue is phonetic. Twitter feels like a complete word phonetically: Twit-ter; most iconic brand names have two or three syllables. X is inherently awkward to say; feels incomplete.
You can pair it with "on" - "on X" to make it more palatable, which is natural and most people do. Without that prepped preposition, though, the single letter lacks mouthfeel and remains an awkward replacement to the very complete-sounding "Twitter" word.
There is this wonderful built-in mechanism in tyrannical regimes where the tyrant, accustomed to ruling by fear, ends up with large blindspots that cause their undoing. This is why rule by fear does not scale, unlike rule by respect or kindness.
This type of dynamism gives old movie industry LA/Hollywood vibes where everyone was working on some movie/series. Money was flowing in to serve the insatiable demand. In that case - as with many others - the end product was entertainment; maybe software is the new entertainment. Perhaps it has been entertainment for a while now.
Field note from my brief trip to SF last week:
- a studio costs 6k / month, with YC bros wanting to move in ASAP
- planes flying around with ads all day long
- one ad is Monaco. I asked my friend what’s that. They said “ai sales. They have not raised much”. Then I checked. They have raised 80M
- people introduce their companies as “we are similar to crusoe / modal / muse with xxx different”
- a friend jealous about their college roommate’s company getting acquired at $2B two years in. They started right out of school
- someone’s poker friend made 60m in 100 days selling RL data to big labs
- if you have a somewhat cool resume, you can go to sponsored fancy dinner parties everyday if you wish. There’s always a startup that sponsor it for marketing or recruiting
- 10M angel round, filled in 3 days
Perhaps a technology paradise. At least a very special place and time.
Wait no really hear me out:
put. the. boosters. in. helicopters.
Give me one reason why this wouldn't work and single-handedly save the deathly flawed design of the helicopter.
I got every helicopter expert and pilot in the U.S. rattled by this idea - they lack imagination. Let me solve your problem for you:
1 - "it's too heavy" - no; the assembly is 260kg (550lbs); you make the helicopter autonomous, remove the pilot and you can offset a lot of the weight.
2 - "it won't work because the helicopter won't be in the right position" - the video is an example; the thrusters would be in more locations than shown.
3 - "the helicopter already does this, it's called autorotation!" - cool, then why are helicopters absolute death traps? Put the thrusters on it.
4 - "it's not worth the weight for the edge case of a crash" - yeh ok i personally will fly in the thruster-strapped heli, you can take your chances on the other one.
Look how cool it would look:
