Another way to think about it is that it will only take ~35 Starship launches to double the existing Starlink capacity.
(It took 422 Falcon 9 launches to get us here)
SpaceXAI needs to fix subscriptions, it’s a mess.
I pay for X premium+ which also gives me SuperGrok which gives me grok bot, and I also have a cursor account linked to my grok account with a pro+ subscription which also gives me grok bot…

We live on a pretty cool planet
Looks like the capacity issue affecting Grok right now is also affecting Claude.
It’s annoying but it’s impressive that it doesn’t happen more often considering the insane growth in AI compute demand

My prediction is parking lots in city centers will start disappearing. No need for them when your car can drop you off.
It will free up a tremendous amount of urban real estate and make cities much nicer.

The evolution of transportation ends here with autonomy
today has the same significance as the day cars started replacing carriages
truly a historic event
And here’s the *strongest* case for Flock
In November 2020, we lived in downtown Philly in Rittenhouse Square. After dinner, I took all 3 kids (and our dog) to the Christmas Village at City Hall. To give my wife a break, I took all of them by myself.
As we reached the (former) Santander Bank, I saw a car drive up and stop about 20 yards in front of us. The driver got out, walked over to a young boy/man sitting on a bike and shot him in the face. The boy fell over by some potted plants, and then the man leaned over him and continued to shoot him. Point blank.
The shooter then got back in his car and drove away, towards us.
My kids, thank God, had no clue what happened other than very loud bangs and yelling. I told my son, who was 6, to run home as fast as he could. I had my 4 and 2 year in the double stroller and I pushed it as fast as I could. Running awkwardly with the leash on my wrist.
As I ran down the street back, the shooters car went past us and then turned 10 feet in front of us down a side street, called Ranstead. I pulled out my phone and tried to get a photo of the car. Instead I just got a blurry picture of my son running for his life with car lights in the background
The boy who was killed, across from City Hall mind you, was 20 years old. He had recently testified against some criminals on another murder he had witnessed.
To this day, his murder is unsolved.
Had Flock been monitoring license plates, it seems very reasonable that instead of this grainy useless picture, the police would have had much better chance of catching them.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launches more than every other rocket combined while remaining ultra reliable.
Grok 4.6 is really hugging that Pareto frontier
Gemini 3.8 Flash is now available in Cursor!
Gave my grok bot an email address, now they can create their own accounts and book things for me etc
Grok bot is handing over the captchas over to me and man, these things are getting difficult
You aren’t serious about space if you think odds of a Martian colony have gone down since SpaceX announced StarMind and the Lunar Mass driver. The likelihood of 1M humans on mars skyrocketed after these announcements and SpaceX going IPO. The mission is on track and closer than ever.

Orbital datacenters and a moonbase actually make Mars easier, by enabling high launch cadences, strong cash generation, and rapid iteration cycles.
Love that Tesla is embracing the Tron/Blade Runner aesthetic
The logical next step of chip improvements combined with AI improvements is full on device LLMs.
Running Grok 4.6 type models directly on your phone, even when you don’t have data.
Imagine if spiderman wasn’t born in New York.
Just swinging from gas station to mall to single family home.
Doesn’t hit the same
hello mr apple ceo

Facing a new issue with Grok
@bot where some tasks won’t run on the cloud computer when the desktop app isn’t open. Seems like a bug.
