🍭 Dodgers, DMs, and Downsizing: AI vs. The World 🦸‍♂️

Good morning. Our Growth Lead, Aman, tried reasoning with Grok 4.

Now he just sits in the corner, muttering baseball stats and solving for x.

We told him to touch grass. He’s optimizing for “photosynthesis” instead.

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• Elon’s Grok 4 hits new reasoning highs

• Indeed & Glassdoor: 1,300 layoffs

• 5 AI tools that will outwork your intern (and won’t eat your snacks)

• Everything Else you need to fake DMs and dodge trends.

Grok 4
🤔 Elon’s New Reasoning Model: God Mode (And Sportsbook?)

The Bite: Elon Musk’s xAI just unleashed Grok 4. A reasoning-obsessed LLM running on a Memphis-sized supercomputer with 200,000+ GPUs.

It’s benchmark-shredding, multi-modal, and can process code, charts, and enough text to fill a small library.

It took 4.5 minutes to predict the Dodgers would win the World Series.

Slow, but smarter than your uncle at the ballpark talking about his favorite players’ batting average.


Snacks: 

• 44% on Humanity’s Last Exam (OpenAI’s best: 26.6%)

• Crushes code, math, and chart prompts

• Grok 4 Heavy: $300/mo, multi-agent “argue and merge” answers

• Sports betting AI: Picked Dodgers at 21.6%, flagged Mariners as edge bet

• Not a financial advisor (but fun at parties)

• Next up: Programming, multimodal, and video Grok

Why it bites: Grok 4 is what happens when you merge a Wall Street quant, a trivia champion, and a guy who never stops arguing on X.

Then force them to agree on one answer.

Forget “smart chatbots.”
This is “slow but spooky accurate” reasoning, with a side of algorithmic gambling tips.

When AI makes your sports bets and grades your homework, Vegas and your math teacher should both be scared.

They Took Our Jobs
💔 Indeed, Glassdoor, and the AI Jobs Guillotine

The Bite: Indeed and Glassdoor are cutting 1,300 jobs as parent Recruit Holdings leans hard into AI.

Layoffs = 6% of staff.

Glassdoor gets absorbed, CEO exits, and now AI writes a third of the company’s code (soon, half).

Even the ‘people’ teams aren’t safe. That’s HR, but in woke-speak.

Snacks: 

• 1,300 jobs gone, mostly in R&D and HR

• 6% of workforce axed

• Glassdoor CEO stepping down

• AI writes 33% of new code — rising fast

• Ford’s CEO: Half of white-collar jobs are next

Why it bites: This is what happens when “AI for hiring” turns into “AI for firing.”

This narrative of AI will take your job looks real when you read it on the headlines.

I mean, it is real.
The firings aren’t fake news.

But we believe that when the dust settles, the “thinkers” will be accelerated by AI.

The “doers” will be the crowd finding it hard to get hired.

Effective prompting is thinking.

If you are using AI to THINK MORE, not to THINK LESS, you will be just fine.
