I gave my chief of staff bot 14 rules before I trusted it with anything. Most of them are about what it's never allowed to do, and the full list is below.

Imagine being born just in time to witness the end of aging, the end of scarcity, the birth of superintelligence, and humanity becoming a spacefaring civilization.
That's the timeline we're living on.
Of all the generations that have ever lived, we might turn out to be among the luckiest in human history.
What an extraordinary time to be alive.

EVERY GROK BOT: THE COMPLETE DIRECTORY
Updated October 28, 2026 · 7,539+ public Grok Bots tracked in 26 categories.
Grok Bots are hard to find. There is no single list, and new ones appear on X every day. So I built one. This directory pulls together every public Grok Bot template I can find, sorts them by what they do, and explains each one in a sentence.
Open any link to add that bot to your own Grok Bot. The list is refreshed every week.
Go to GrokBot.Rocks because it does!

The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD

🚨HOLY CRAP:
Turn this off on your phone right now.
Go to your iPhone settings - accessibility - audio & visual - LIVE LISTEN.
Turn off LIVE LISTEN.
It even says it keeps TRANSCRIPTS.
This is NUTS.

Brian says every Grok Bot command at his client goes through a red, yellow or green light check: not allowed, needs sign off, or approved. That filter is the part every company should copy before giving each employee a team of AI helpers.
BOOM!
MAJOR CORPORATION JUST HIRED 1000s OF GROK BOTS—FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE!
I just got one of my larger clients to go full Grok Bot for EVERY EMPLOYEE!
After a few tests over the last weeks, the c-suite gave me the go ahead to get this done.
This will be a mix of my 82 local AI models I built for them and they use daily and @Grok @Bot!
The liberation to each employee is they now each have their own department of employees.
I have established standard Red Light (not allowed), Yellow Light (authorization required) and Green Light (approved) as a filter all grok bot commands run through to protect the company and to build a central audit trail. My technology here is unique and has hardware based fail safes.
So now we have a major public traded company that just liberated each employee to hire an almost unlimited number of employees to grow the company.
I can not express more directly just how big of a deal this is. This legacy company is now leap froging startups with this move.
I expect a Cambrian explosion of revenue and savings team this.
Any company that does not Grok Bot will be left in the Stone Age.
The good news is, no one loses a job and the company gains 100s and 1000s of new employees that work 24/7 and report back to my local c-suite dashboard that tracks oversite and progress with drill down.
BONUS: I have the company giving out a $20,000 contest on the Grok Bot that earns the largest revenue boost for the company over the next 6 months!
The roll out will be full by the end of the year and I have the how-tos customized for each department to get them hitting the ground running.
ill keep you updated.

Somebody said that Apple is in their Taco Bell era where they're just smashing together random leftover parts from other devices and naming them things like "Phonedito Supreme Crunch" and it's the perfect analogy. Here slap a touch screen on this, charge $4k and call it a Maclupa
Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center launched Apollo 11 to the Moon in 1969 and the first space shuttle in 1981, and now it's being readied for its first Starship. SpaceX says Falcon 9 launches from the Cape are paused for about six weeks while crews prep, and the plan is to catch the booster with the tower's arms right at the pad. No launch date yet.

That Viking church from a thousand years ago relies on wood joints alone with no nails holding it. Amazing to think that those joinery techniques let them lock every beam so precisely without any metal.
“Never give up” on the 30-year mortgage, the car note, and the credit card so the Joneses don’t realize you’re one missed payment from the gurney yourself.
The Starry Night has been dated to June 1889 for decades, but its slim crescent Moon doesn't fit a June sky. A Korean team just matched that Moon, Venus and the five center stars to the predawn sky over southern France on July 22, 1889.

The Classification of Finite Simple Groups took about 100 mathematicians and roughly 15,000 pages to prove. Engineers and mathematicians directing swarms of AI agents rewrote all of it in Lean, a proof checker, in 24 days. Every step checks out by machine, and the checking flagged 34 noteworthy deviations from the published record. Anyone can download it and check it on their own computer.
Working years for money while others print it with a keystroke makes the gap hard to ignore. Every printed dollar should motivate you to understand hard assets and real sound money.

Underrated life advice: Be careful what you normalize just because everyone else does it. Complaining about your spouse. Being glued to your phone. Hating Mondays. Creating drama. Spending money you don’t have. The worst habits always come with plenty of company. Avoid the trap.
Unpopular take for anyone running AI bots: I don't want a morning message telling me nothing changed. I want quiet. What makes quiet work is a second, lighter check about 20 minutes after every important routine, asking one thing: did the first one land? If it didn't, a catch up starts and I get one line.

The scale of that massive bell stands out next to the two small figures in the old photo. What threat did those giant bells pose that led to all of them being destroyed?

Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. The peanuts had their oil pressed out and a cheaper fat put back in.
Sugar is first, then partially defatted peanuts, then hydrogenated palm kernel and soybean oil, then corn syrup solids. Everything after that is 2% or less, and it's the dyes, the glaze, some vanillin and a little milk. There's no cocoa anywhere.
Partially defatted just means the peanuts went through a press. The peanut oil comes out one side and gets sold as peanut oil. What's left is a dry peanut flour, and that's what the center is made from, because flour holds a shape in a panning drum and doesn't go rancid. Then they put fat back in, and the fat they picked is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is solid at room temperature and costs less than peanut oil. You can see the swap on the panel. 38 pieces have 6 g of fat and all 6 are saturated. Peanut oil is mostly unsaturated, so that number isn't the peanut.
The shell is sugar with 4 dyes and a coat of shellac.
