Grok Bot rewards + SpaceXAI ecosystem

Farzad, Sep 28 late morning CT: WOW! I just realized the Grok Bot paid me $1,400 in rewards from the last two weeks from people using my bots. I knew the team had started the incentive program but had no idea they started paying it out already. I've been using Grok Bot to run my entire media business pretty successfully. I'll continue sharing my bots through the weeks as I improve/build them. The one I think most people will get the best use of is my bot Daily, which is my assistant for basically everything in my personal life. It handles email triage, calendar, bills and leases, family logistics, shopping, keeping up iMessage, discord, slack, etc. He's a very good bot. I like him a lot. Enjoy!

Farzad, Sep 28 afternoon CT: The mind-blowing thing about this is that @SpaceXAI is building an ecosystem for productivity. If I use YouTube as an analogy — YouTube makes money by incentivizing people to upload content on their platform so that they can display ads on that content, and profit share from that revenue. Grok Bot is doing the same exact thing but with productivity — instead of "uploading" videos, people create a @bot that solves for a problem that people find valuable, which generates tokens (units of intelligence) that SpaceXAI charges the customer for — either through a monthly plan or per token. SpaceXAI then shares in the profit of those tokens that are generated with the creator of the Bot. The more useful and used the Bot, the more tokens generated, the more profit, the bigger the profit share. All of a sudden, SpaceX has incentivized people to create agents that get USEFUL work done and rewards the creators of those bots with money. So a way to make money now is by making helpful and useful agents that people use a lot. And of course, Grok Bot will have a marketplace for these bots. It's like democratizing consulting, but for the everyday person, with actually useful results. And it's also a way for SpaceXAI to create distribution and marketing for its product. Extremely clever. $SPCX

Farzad, Sep 28 afternoon CT: Another mind-blowing thing about this incentive program: This is one of the CLEANEST ways to deliver dividends from the value generated by AI in a democratic, meritocratic way. Make agents that are very good at turning tokens into value for people = get paid $. Beyond cool.

Starlink V3 capacity + Starship videos

Farzad RTd SawyerMerritt, Sep 28 morning CT: Crazy stat of the day: Each one of these V3 Starlink satellites being deployed right now increases the bandwidth capacity of the ENTIRE Starlink constellation by roughly 0.11%. That's one satellite. For perspective, there are ~11,100 Starlink satellites in orbit today (per SawyerMerritt; API text truncated after "mostly").

Farzad RTd elonmusk, Sep 28 late morning CT: All 26 Starlink V3 operational satellites deployed and operating nominally (per elonmusk).

Farzad RTd robmaurer, Sep 28 late morning CT: With today's single Starship launch, SpaceX added more Starlink capacity in the last hour than the first ~1.5 years of Starlink launches. The next launch will cover another full year. Welcome to the network, V3! (per robmaurer).

ChatGPT agents + Team Bots + multi-agent GrokBot

Farzad, Sep 28 afternoon CT: ChatGPT agents. Quoted OpenAI: Get ready (per OpenAI).

Farzad, Sep 28 afternoon CT: Grok Bot. Meta Muse. ChatGPT agents. If you thought data centers are printing money now...

Farzad RTd @bot, Sep 28 late afternoon CT: Introducing Team Bots, shared AI teammates that learn as your team works with them. Give your Team Bot the skills, plugins, and credentials it needs for its role, then work with it in Slack or Grok Bot (per @bot).

Farzad, Sep 28 late evening CT: GrokBot can hand research, writing, and review to different agents (native X video). Reply: Full video to YouTube (id XUKd0D_q_I4). Titles only.

Anthropic / Sonnet 5.5 + past the AI bubble

Farzad, Sep 28 late afternoon CT: The most frustrating thing about Anthropic is that they are extremely unlikeable yet they make undeniably great models. GAH!!!!! Quoted cursor_ai: Sonnet 5.5 is now available in Cursor! It's a strong model, performing on par with Opus in many tasks (per cursor_ai).

Farzad reply to Gfilche, Sep 28 late afternoon CT: I think we're way past the AI bubble phase. Agentic AI is going to make token usage explode beyond imagination.

Farzad, Sep 28 afternoon CT: Texas about to get some BIG RAINS this week. Quoted Tesla: Roadster event update — severe conditions predicted; outdoor-only event rescheduled; new date is October 15 (per Tesla; API text truncated after "Additional details to").

Farzad, Sep 28 late evening CT: Absolutely brilliant. Quoted scotsrule08: The new Automatic Collision Evasion feature worked flawlessly! FSD reengaged itself just as I was about to hit a curb (per scotsrule08).

Farzad RTd agupta, Sep 29 morning CT: signs of PMF w/ Tesla FSD: i booked Turo instead of a 30% cheaper Hertz car so i can have a self driving rental car (per agupta).

Farzad, Sep 29 morning CT: Absolutely insane. The future is now. Quoted scotsrule08: "Grok, pull over" was just the start. I've now added "Grok, turn right up ahead" and "Grok, turn left up ahead" to my setup. Here's a demo of it in action! (per scotsrule08).
