Simple way to find customers using Grok Bot: 1) Use Grok Bot to search for people on X complaining about competitors or looking for alternatives (“Looking for an alternative to...”) 2) Use the @amplemarket connector to learn more about the person + company, then reach out to the poster or people commenting. 3) Turn it into a Grok Bot routine so you get these buying signals every week. The interesting part: you don’t need to guess whether someone has the problem you're solving. They just publicly told you they do. This feels like extremely low-hanging fruit for founders/sales teams.

Yesterday’s eclipse stopped roughly 10²⁰ J of solar energy from reaching Earth. That’s ~1 year of global electricity generation! 1,400 W/m² of sunlight × 10¹³ m² (Moon-sized shadow) × ~3 hours (Time Shadow Crossed Earth) ≈ 10²⁰ J The Sun outputs energy on an absurd scale.

Testing Grok Imagine 2.0 against other image models: Prompt: "A mathematician drinking from an object of genus 1" ChatGPT gets trapped by the donut analogy: it turns a donut (genus 1) into a mug, accidentally creating an object of genus 2. Grok gets it right: a regular coffee mug already has genus 1.
