Elon Musk officially releases 'Grok 3' calling it the "smartest #AI on Earth".
Elon Musk's AI venture, xAI, has officially unveiled Grok 3, which Musk touts as the "smartest AI on Earth." The announcement was made during a live demonstration on Monday, February 17, 2025, at 8 p.m. Pacific Time.
Grok 3 has been in development for several months, with Musk previously indicating its release by the end of 2024; however, the launch was postponed to February 2025.
During the launch event, Musk explained that the term "Grok" means to "fully and profoundly understand something."

China Has Challenged Starlink With New Rocket Launch.
China has taken a significant leap in the global satellite internet race with the successful launch of its Long March 8A rocket. This inaugural mission, conducted from the Wenchang ****** e Launch Site in Hainan province, deployed a series of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, underscoring Beijing's commitment to establishing a ****** e-based internet network to rival Elon Musk's Starlink.
Deployment of LEO Satellites: The Long March 8A's payload consisted of multiple LEO satellites, which are pivotal for China's expansive ****** e-based internet initiatives. These satellites operate at altitudes between 300 to 2,000 kilometers, offering advantages in transmission efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
International Collaborations: ****** esail, one of China's prominent satellite networks, has forged partnerships with entities in Brazil and Malaysia, aiming to extend its services beyond domestic borders. Notably, ****** esail has agreements with Brazilian partners to launch services in the country, reflecting China's strategic move to enhance its global presence in satellite internet services.
While ****** eX's Starlink has already deployed over 7,000 satellites, providing near-global coverage, China's recent endeavors signify a robust effort to bridge the gap. Companies like Geespace, a subsidiary of Geely, have also entered the fray, launching 10 LEO satellites to expand their constellation, with plans to deploy nearly 6,000 satellites in the future.
The satellite internet sector is witnessing intensified competition, with Amazon's Project Kuiper also preparing to launch its services. As these developments unfold, the global race to provide ubiquitous satellite-based internet access is becoming increasingly dynamic.

Sam Altman has rejected Elon’s offer to buy OpenAi and Elon calls him a scam.
So it’s okay for Elon to call Sam Altman “Scam Altman”?
Most top Tech people around the world are doing everything possible to reduce the concentration of Tech power in Elon’s hand. This is also a discussion in my PhD class group.
Anyone who is truly immersed in Tech and Global Tech Politics and relates with the likes of Yann of Meta, Andrew Ng etc will agree that Elon has insulted almost every top AI scientist just to dominate the AI race.
This is not the industry we want to build. Some of us have worked to build careers in this industry over the years and in this industry, money doesn’t matter as much as BUILDING DOES. We respect the real scientists who are truly inventing and innovating - and we also value money bags who buy what is built. Both are relevant but neither should disrespect the other because of money.
Sam is not a scam.
Sam is a hardworking AI founder.
Because of Sam, my startup, gemsbokGPT has made millions in turnover.
Because of Sam, we are now building an AI powered medical platform for the Transhuman Coin community .
Sam is not a scam just because business between Elon and Sam didn’t go as expected. If he’s a scam, arrest him and save other victims. Calling him a scam in public only shows that Tech Politics is becoming more prominent than Tech Innovation.
Tech politics is good. We need politics to swing power in the industry. But without innovation, we shall have no industry.
