"AT&T et al are cooked" (his take)

Farzad liked Elon, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America. Elon was quoting SawyerMerritt: AT&T CEO: Starlink Mobile won't be able to penetrate walls. SpaceX: We've acquired 800 MHz spectrum, which will allow Starlink Mobile to provide better indoor coverage, including signals that can penetrate walls and other obstacles. People are underestimating Starlink Mobile.

Farzad, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: Yeah AT&T et al are cooked. Quoted Elon's spectrum post. A minute later he quoted his own Sep 30 post, ATT is cooked aren't they lol, with: Yeah they're cooked. The calls are his.

Farzad RTd and liked chamath, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: This is a very big deal. chamath was quoting the same Elon post.

Farzad liked SawyerMerritt, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: Most people have no clue how disruptive Starlink Mobile will be. Sawyer was replying to JCChristopher: AT&T CEO tells us how this will never work in 5, 4, 3, 2.

Farzad liked IterIntellectus, Oct 8 late evening CT: AI is eating software. Elon is eating everything else. IterIntellectus was quoting WatcherGuru: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile stocks all crash over 7% after SpaceX announces plans to turn Starlink into major US mobile carrier. That's WatcherGuru's report; Investing.com put the after-hours drops at 5% to 6.75%.

Starlink: American Airlines goes fleetwide

Farzad RTd and liked SawyerMerritt, Oct 8 late morning CT: American Airlines officially announced it will install Starlink across its entire mainland fleet of 1,030+ aircraft, up from the previously announced 500. Installations begin in early 2027 and use Starlink's Performance Aero Terminal, which can deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps per terminal (per SawyerMerritt). American's Chief Customer Officer Heather Garboden said Starlink "provides the foundation for future innovations that will further enhance the customer experience."

Farzad RTd signulll, Oct 8 late evening CT, and liked the post: a list of Starlink implications. Global connectivity with no roaming garbage or "international data." One subscription for everything, including your home and all of your devices. AI agents that can talk to any entity anywhere, including robots and autonomous cars, which can upload data and get instructions in real time: "can you imagine a car or a robot never having to have any local cpu/gpu?" Agricultural robots, autonomous construction machinery, drones and remote sensors always connected with high bandwidth. Rural communities, farms, mines and remote businesses deploying AI powered services without waiting for fiber or cell towers. Inference (space data centers) and connectivity both living in space. Those are signulll's projections.

Farzad liked Elon, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: Starlink saves lives during natural disasters. Elon was quoting XFreeze: India should absolutely have Starlink as an emergency backup, given floods and landslides in the north and cyclones and severe flooding across the coasts and south.

Merchy: a Grok Bot runs his merch store

The bot account, Oct 8 late morning CT: Grok Bot can now help run your Shopify store. Connect Shopify, then ask it to check orders, track inventory, and keep product listings up to date. Elon quoted it: Hire Grok @Bot to manage your @Shopify store. He will do an amazing job! Farzad liked Elon's post.

Farzad, Oct 8 late morning CT: I have a Grok @bot named Merchy that autonomously runs my merch store, including the @shopify store, the website it's plugged into, SEO, product management, etc. It will even autonomously make new merch! Quoted Elon's Shopify post. The bot's page, Merchy by Farzad, describes it as a print-on-demand merch bot that turns moments, posts and fan requests into products on your Shopify store through Printful, with IP safety checks.

Farzad liked Elon, Oct 8 late morning CT: If you have a Grok Bot account, you can just add your @shopify connector by asking @Bot! Elon was quoting Shopify's pro tip that you can ask @bot to add Shopify right in the comments. Farzad also liked poteto: Run your business with Shopify and Grok Bot! poteto was quoting Shopify's new connectors post: connect to @grok to ask questions about your business, or to @bot to build a team of agents that help you run it.

Farzad RTd wintonARK, Oct 8 late morning CT: fairly obvious: every single service that is not AI agent friendly will be supplanted by a service that is.

"An entire company made of Grok Bots"

Farzad liked Elon, Oct 8 late afternoon CT: And Grok @Bot only gets better from here. You could build an entire company made of Grok Bots! Elon was quoting MiaAI_lab, who said Grok Bot might be the most important AI release of 2026, that it felt like a niche toy a few days ago and is now running parts of their workflow, and that it now uses Opus 5.5 when needed.

Farzad liked Elon, Oct 8 late evening CT: Using Grok @Bot is like hiring a super smart, hard-working person for peanuts. Elon was quoting B_doong2daddy, who paid $200 for Cursor Ultra the first month just to try Grok Bot, learned a lot with Grok Bot plus Cursor, never imagined building an app and can't code.

In the thread under Farzad's Video Creator Grok Bot post, mikeboysen, Oct 8 evening CT: Dude, you're insane. No video editor? In code? LOL. It's so over if this works! Then, later that evening: I'm impressed. And I don't impress easily. You just saved me dozens of hours a week that I didn't have. Thank you. Farzad liked it and replied, Oct 9 morning CT: Love you.

Cybercab: 319 registered, short waits in Austin

Farzad RTd and liked SawyerMerritt, Oct 8 late evening CT: Tesla just registered a record 150 Cybercabs for its Robotaxi fleet, bringing the total number of Cybercabs registered to date to 319 (up from 169), according to the Texas DMV. Tesla just nearly doubled its registered Cybercabs overnight.

Farzad liked SawyerMerritt, Oct 8 evening CT: I'm in downtown Austin right now (7 PM CT) and the Cybercab wait times are great. Also, there are A LOT of them. A notable increase from when I was here a month ago for the launch event.

Farzad RTd and liked DirtyTesLa, Oct 8 late evening CT: Yeah the wait times have been 10min or less even as more and more Tesla fans come to Austin. Just left a spot full of Tesla ppl all using cybercab and my wait was 3min. DirtyTesLa was quoting Sawyer's registration post.

Farzad liked DirtyTesLa, Oct 9 morning CT: A new day and Cybercab is ready to go.

DirtyTesLa, Oct 8 evening CT: You do not have access to your Grok Bots from Grok in your Cybercab. Farzad liked it and replied: BBBOOOOOO.

Mathematicians, capitalism, slop (his takes)

Farzad, Oct 8 late morning CT: TIL: Mathematics can only be solved by Mathematicians. Quoted rawsalerts: Mathematicians begin boycotting AI, as it solves hundreds of decades-long unsolved problems: "Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done." The boycott report is rawsalerts'; the sarcasm is Farzad's.

Farzad, Oct 9 morning CT: The education system has failed at teaching how capitalism actually works. Replying to Austen: People have no idea how money actually works. Farzad also liked Austen's post.

Farzad liked forgebitz, Oct 8 late morning CT: honestly, most code before ai was also slop.

Farzad liked iruletheworldmo, Oct 9 morning CT, who wrote that the jobs debate often misses that most people hate their jobs, or are suicidal, or are starving to death, or all of the above: you live inside a vast bubble. let's accelerate and help people.
