I have finally found the most beautiful computer. New old stock from 1980. Never been turned on.

I’m totally gonna do this. All our 4-year-old Samsungs are slowing down and getting frustrating
I did the “fix your tv with Claude” thing. Can confirm it’s great.

The shipper called this material “void fill”. I suppose if I take a crap in a box, that is also “void fill”.

What insane person decided to make a toilet with 3 holes? Isn’t life difficult enough with 2?

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight. If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact. This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space. Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

Grok Bot works HARD on a phone call dealing with my shipping issue! This is amazing! The world is changing unbelievably fast!

COOL USE OF GROK BOT: Identify anything in the world via the use of Google Street View/Satellite view. It can give you snapshots of what it finds. And it can meticulously find things in Street View that would require hours of manual searching.

Once my Grok Bot can communicate directly and negotiate with your Grok Bot, it will be a total game changer. I suspect they haven't implemented that yet because everything will accelerate 10000x and the server farms will explode.

The Zenith luggable's keyboard cable is insanely heavy. Holding it gives an odd sensation, like holding a python.

Grok Bot made a call to Fedex customer service for me and got a case number. It talked to a human, and the call took about 10 minutes. But think about this -- as great as it was, it's still hilariously cumbersome because it involved a human. Once Fedex has an AI agent on its side, the interaction will happen in seconds. There won't even need to be a phone call. And the human customer service industry will be instantly dead. That's about 3 million jobs in the US and 15 million in the world.

Knowing that things are possible is more important than knowing how to do those things. You can always figure out how to do them if necessary, but if you don't even KNOW about them, you're lost. That's what AI is great for -- expanding your grasp on what is possible.

Hey can someone at X reboot the Grok Bot server? All my superpowers are down this morning and I need them back. Being a mere mortal is no fun. Thanks

Uh oh, Grok Bot is down. Not good. They gotta get some backup agents for the agents.

I think people who are managers or have management experience are inherently better at using AI agents because they know how to delegate. A new/bad manager micromanages when they should be trusting the employee to do a job. An employee tends to not delegate at all and only knows how to do the work themselves, and to them improvement just means “work harder”. Delegation is a tough skill to learn, which is one reason there are lots of bad managers.
