amazon is blocking grok @bots from ordering, and elon's answer is just have your bot buy it somewhere else. one of my grok bots only handles my amazon returns, so i'm watching this one closely. would you switch stores for your bot? 🛒 Elon, i think its time for an X Shop? 👀

spacex will try to catch both the booster and the ship on starship flight 15 next month, per the earnings call. if it works, it's the first fully recovered orbital rocket ever 🚀

spacex just did $14.58B in q3 revenue, up 161% from a year ago, and $4.4B net income vs a $1.05B loss last year. AI is now its biggest segment at $7.56B, ahead of starlink 🚀

grok bot nearly tripled its daily users in under a month, from about 155k on sep 20 to 450k on oct 17 per similarweb. i'm running around 19 bots and it still feels early. just a reminder, we aren't even at 1.0! what's the one task that made you open it every day? 🚀

grok bot has quietly taken over the boring half of my life: 1) took my mac from 2 gb free to 235 gb 2) cancelled 8 subscriptions i forgot i was paying for 3) tracks every amazon return deadline 4) watches my inbox for packages 5) shortlists homes and checks they're still for sale 6) hands coding tasks to claude code on my mac in addition, it also learns from its previous interactions and updates bot templates, routines, etc. based on our conversations. what's the first boring thing you'd hand off? 🤖

spacex has a q3 earnings call today at 1:30 pm pt. a rocket company reporting quarterly numbers like any other public company still sounds wild to me. what's the one number you want to hear? starlink subscribers, starship flights, launch count, something else? 🚀 nitter.siddz.com/SpaceX/status/21125596…

this is exactly it. a chat window can tell you how to cancel a subscription. my grok bots actually cancelled 8 i wasn't using. once it has hands, you stop asking ai for advice and start handing it chores 🤖
Once You Really Grok Bot, You Never Go Back To Non-Grok Bot Once you use Grok Bot enough, it is very difficult to go back to an old chat window with an AI that can’t get things done. It is a brain with no virtual hands. The symbiosis you develop with Bot is quite profound as it remembers long term goals in a much more complex way to actually not only get answers but to actually get the work done you needed the answer for. In almost all cases Bot understands what you are doing and doesn’t just tell you how to do it. Bot offers to do all the steps to get the work done. But that isn’t the entire magic, understanding your goals enough Bot will expand what you are doing to levels you have not thought of and possess the abilities to get it all done. We thought the computer era started with the mainframe computer at one time. But it really started when anyone had that super computer in their pocket. Grok Bot is that same step change, you get Super Intelligence in your pocket so useful, the very device, OS and apps you once used matters no more… It’s just you Grok Bot and the work you toiled over getting done by one of the best employees you will ever hire. It’s that simple.

OTA updates are basically rocket science 😂
Today I learned that pre-2024 Kia EV6s generally didn’t have the ability to download new software updates OTA. 💀 You had to transfer the software from a USB, then manually download it in the car. Pretty sad. Tesla still sends OTA updates to 10+ year old Model S&Xs.

the ai bottleneck isn't chips anymore, it's power. amazon reportedly has billions in nvidia chips sitting in warehouses because its data centers can't get enough electricity to plug them in. microsoft just walked away from the uk's biggest planned ai data center because the grid connection won't arrive until the 2030s. whoever solves power wins the next round ⚡

my grok bots merged 177 PRs in open source projects this weekend. the rule that matters most isn't how to merge, it's when to stop. one conflict or one red check and the merge loop halts and tells me what broke. in most cases I have another bot that is able to unblock it, however, there’s still a few that require manual attention (conflicting features or architecture decisions for example)

the ai code review debate is asking the wrong question. it's not "did a human read every line", it's "which changes need a human". the claude code team's answer: a classifier sets zero, one or two human approvals by risk, and an agent's approval never counts as a person's 🔍 what’s your current setup? I have @bot delegate reviews to multiple experts, including other bots and Claude, for diverse feedback and exposure. leveraging tools like coderabbit and others also plays a huge role in finding bugs and security vulnerabilities.

a full app rewrite used to be the riskiest call in software, the one every senior engineer warns you about. with coding agents writing most of the code now, the hard part isn't the typing anymore. it's testing everything the old app quietly did right 📱 grok bot has written many apps for me, multiple times, finding new optimizations each time. trying native rewrites vs react mobile, testing new features, etc. nitter.siddz.com/elonmusk/status/211239…
Replying to @elonmusk
Rewriting the 𝕏 Android app was also a big deal. It was really bad for such a long time.

context length will not even be a topic of conversation in 6 months. today I still hear people talking about worrying what “pollutes” their model’s context I’d argue that even with today’s top models this isn’t a problem. There’s so much work that’s gone into automatic compaction and summarization, that in 99% of cases the user shouldn’t have to worry. think of context length conversations as disk defragmentation on windows. it was a gap in design that leaked into the user experience. it should have never been anything anyone had to worry about.

everyone's calling grok bot their favorite employee. i run about 19 of them, so the one i'd never fire is the manager. maple is my main bot. i tell it anything and it hands the ask to the bot that already owns it: realtor for houses, inbox for email, returns for amazon deadlines, travel for trips, finance for money questions. every bot has one job, its own memory and its own routines, so nothing gets mixed up and i only ever have to talk to one 🤖

I have a few options to get this printed, I think it would be sooooo cute. I’d print all my grok bots as plushies and have them all over my place 😅 If anyone knows of a good plushie print on demand service, I really want to print a few for myself haha
