Merchy: autonomous merch-store Grok Bot
Farzad, Sep 29 afternoon CT: I've created my most ambitious Grok @bot yet. His name is Merchy, and it autonomously runs a merch store. You can reply to this post to test its capabilities. It does the following fully autonomously end to end: Sources the best possible products; Creates the designs; Lists them for sale on shopify, your website, etc.; Hooks up to payments systems; Manages inventory; Creates assets for the store (images, descriptions, seo, etc.). Literally anything that could be part of running a merch store online, Merchy handles. For my use case, it uses Printful to source all the items, uses Opus 5.5 xhigh for the designs, lists them on my store on Shopify, and it makes them available on my website. You can choose whatever you'd like for your purposes. To fully test its capabilities, I've asked Merchy to monitor this post and autonomously create merch items for the replies on this thread. You can reply with things like 'make me a mug that has x design and y lettering' or whatever, and Merchy will reply with a link. It takes him about 4-6 minutes to create an item from scratch, so depending how many replies this posts get, it may take a minute. I've asked it to be conservative on designs so I don't infringe on any copyright or IP, but you can mold it to do whatever you want on your end. I might actually regret doing this but I guess we will find out lol. Here's the link to Merchy: https://x.ai/bot/uYI1q2h7nf7wynlwMaW2Z Enjoy!
Farzad, Sep 29 afternoon CT: Reply to the quoted post and my Grok @bot Merchy will autonomously make you any merch item you want. You can also use the link to download Merchy for yourself to run a merch store of your own.
Farzad, Sep 29 afternoon CT: Autonomously made with Grok @bot. Quoted his own Merchy reply: Your orb is a bomber jacket now, black with your little buddy all over it. It's live (per Farzad Merchy reply).

Matic physical AI
Farzad, Sep 29 afternoon CT: Matic is easily one of the coolest physical AI-powered companies out there. Love my Matic!!! Quoted mehul: After 9 years. 16K+ family homes. 500M sqft inside real homes covered, we know home robots are being built in wrong order. So we built Matic the way nature grows a child. Finally, sharing our vision (per mehul; API text continues with demo-stuck robots, labs vs homes, eyes-before-hands, 99.999% vision SLAM, and manipulation phase two).

Tesla retail voting + Starship angles
Farzad RTd SawyerMerritt, Sep 29 late morning CT: The SEC has just cleared the way for Tesla to launch a new voluntary retail shareholder voting program that lets retail shareholders set a default voting preference for all future shareholder meetings. The program will allow retail shareholders to set standing voting instructions for future shareholder meetings, while still allowing them to override their instructions and vote differently on any individual proposal if they so choose. The SEC says it will not recommend enforcement action against Tesla if the program is implemented as described. The SEC says this position also applies to other public companies that operate a program in the same manner. More info: It's optional; Shareholders still get all the normal voting/proxy materials; You can change your vote for any specific proposal, which overrides the default instruction; You'll be able to cancel the standing instruction at any time; Tesla has to remind participants at least once a year that the instruction is active (per SawyerMerritt).
Farzad, Sep 29 afternoon CT: BBBRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH. Quoted SawyerMerritt: This is the first time we've gotten some of these angles of a Starship launch. The first slow motion takeoff footage is incredible (per SawyerMerritt).

Starlink on United + AT&T vs SpaceX telecom
Farzad RTd pronounced_kyle, Sep 30 morning CT: Currently on a United flight with Starlink. This internet is literally faster than my home wifi (per pronounced_kyle).
Farzad, Sep 30 morning CT: ATT is cooked aren't they lol. Quoted Kalshi: JUST IN: AT&T CEO says Elon Musk's SpaceX telecom plan is "not a viable strategy" because fiber "is still faster" (per Kalshi).

AI agents get warmer + AGENTIC WARFARE
Farzad, Sep 30 morning CT: As AI agents - physical and digital - take on more and more of the drudgery from humans, human to human interactions will increasingly become more friendly and warm. All the moments where you want to rip your hair out with another person will simply be handled by our agents.
Farzad RTd beeple, Sep 30 morning CT: AGENTIC WARFARE (per beeple).
Check agents warmth post here. AGENTIC WARFARE RT here.
Elon Unthinkable video + PA data-center checks + Grok Bot restore
Farzad, Sep 29 evening CT: Elon Musk Said The Unthinkable in Front of Trump (native X video). Titles only.
Farzad, Sep 29 late afternoon CT: SMART. The households should ask for 5x that. Quoted Polymarket: JUST IN: Data center developer offers $10,000 checks to 4,500 Pennsylvania households if its proposed 1,300-acre facility is approved (per Polymarket).
Farzad RTd HansCNelson, Sep 29 late morning CT: I made a Grok @Bot that restores extra programs that your bots use if an update wipes them out (per HansCNelson).
