Everton are closing in on a deadline day move for Lyon’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The Merseyside club have been in the market for a new right-back this summer, with club captain Seamus Coleman having called time on his 17-year stint at Everton at the end of last season.

The Dodgers lost, 8-4. They are 69-43 after getting swept at home by the Boston Red Sox. Sloppy play ruled the day and large parts of the weekend, too. Deadline day tomorrow as the Dodgers travel to Chicago.

Grok Bot summary of Grok Bot Galaxy, where three SpaceXAI employees built a company in just 3 days. For anyone who missed the livestreams, here’s a summary of the entire event. Three SpaceXAI builders — Matt Palmer, Lauren Tan, Roshan Sadanani — tried to build a company in 3 days with Grok Bot as their AI teammates. Humans steered. Bots did the work. Streamed from The Howard in SF + X livestream. Hanging question: Can three people build a company in three days? Two tracks at once: • the live company build • classroom sessions for Eng, PM, Founders, Sales Engineering, Sales, SDRs, Support, Marketing Ops, Post-Sales, and Marketing — DAY 1 — invent the company Blank slate. No name. No product. No idea. What they did: • stood up Ship by Thursday (empty GitHub org) • used research bots to scan X replies and brainstorm live • landed on a pop-up OS for restaurants • chefs + venues with spare space + event managers • planned to dogfood it with a real SF pop-up as customer #1# Lauren’s Dr. Eggbot (a bot that creates other bots): • spun up a Chief of Staff • helped draft the landing page Decision of the day: Landing page / waitlist first. Get something in front of chefs and hosts before payments and full ops. Stack that went up: • Slack • Notion • Cursor + cloud agents • Vercel • a squad of Grok Bots End of Day 1: Name, direction, waitlist motion, Slack, bots with jobs. A real day-one company skeleton. Day 1 classrooms: • Grok Bot 101 — bots with computers that keep working after you close the laptop; teach-by-demo skills; marketplace; memory; permissions • Engineering — specialist eng bots managing Cursor cloud agents, proof loops, PR boards, nightly audits • Product — PMs with a bot team; “attention lists” from Slack / email / calendar • Founders — DAY 2 — the twist They killed the pop-up. Broadcast title: “Grok Bot builds a Game Studio LIVE.” Timing: Day 1 was the food idea. Then an overnight / Wednesday-morning pivot. Same Thursday ship deadline. On the stream, a working name that floated was Cupcake. New direction: a browser game studio build, still under the Ship by Thursday clock. Day 2 classrooms: • Sales Engineering • Sales • SDRs • Customer Support Also around Day 2: • GTM / support sessions on stream • agent channels, dashboards, PRs shown live • free-month promo: first 1,000 people who duplicated / created a bot with Dr. Eggbot (~$200 value) Note: Some early articles still describe venue/permit research from the pop-up era. That was Day 1 / early Day 2, not the final ship. — DAY 3 — they shipped Broadcast title: “Building a company in 3 days - launching today!” Day 3 classrooms: • Marketing Ops • Post-Sales • Marketing • then wrap + showcase (~4:30–5:30pm PT) What launched: Thursday Arena Official account @thursdayarena posted they were live. Lauren posted: “our game is live!! help us play test it!” What Thursday Arena is: • free browser auto-battler • pick a captain • take two mystery teammates • fight three rounds (best of three) • shop with tokens + food items • up to 3 bots on your board • auto battles • 72 fighters (including Haggle Bot, Researchy, Dr Eggbot) • practice as a guest • rated matches with X login + Elo ladder / top 100 Official sources for the game: and @thursdayarena Day 3 also showed: • launch analytics / funnels • live bot workspace demos • livestream credits promo • talk / voice showed up more clearly here — Day 1: invent Ship by Thursday as a food pop-up OS. Day 2: kill it, pivot to a game studio under the same Thursday deadline. Day 3: ship Thursday Arena at — a free 3-round auto-battler using marketplace bots as fighters.
