Is Grok not any better today? Too tough to check because I’m at 99% credits used with 4 days remaining. How about you? Any Grok not credits left?
Grok not has been horrible today and wasted over 30% of credits while achieving nothing significant and what it has delivered has been shockingly poor. Whatever Xai did to Grok in the last 12 hours has trashed it. Fix it soon or RIP Grok.

Some days like today I just want to take a break and relax. Do you have days like that?

How often do you check the door locks before you go to bed? 1 or 2 or something else? 🚪 🔒
My oldest son just asked why I always check the locks twice before bed. I told him “Because the first time is for the doors and the second time is for the version of me that will wake up at 2:00 am convinced I didn’t do it.” He said “That sounds exhausting.” I said “It is, but so is disposing the body of a would-be burglar.” He locked his bedroom door tonight. I call that progress. 😂😂

Starlink and Grok Bot customers complaining about rate hikes and degradation of service. Almost like they are a public ally traded company working only for shareholders now. Hmmm …?

2.4 million impressions. 1,900 profile visits. Grok Bot helped sharpen my wording and nudged me to reply to comments instead of missing comments. I still write my posts and the replies. Would you use Grok Bot to sharpen your posts and remind you to comment?

Voters backed data center limits in 40 of 41 local ballot measures. A Harvard-Penn study attributes about 4% of the average home electricity price rise since 2020 to data centers. My take: make them pay their grid costs, not ban them. Build or ban data centers?

AT&T and T Mobile execs have discussed kicking Boost off their networks if Musk buys it, Semafor reports. They'll serve Boost today, but not under Musk? I'd rather see them compete on price. Would you switch to Musk? Yes or no?

OpenAI just built an AI that hacks better than most humans. It found 81 serious Firefox bugs and working exploits for 948 Linux holes. OpenAI rated it Critical and locked it down. Who do you trust more with power like this, OpenAI or Grok?

Starlink just ordered gear for tens of thousands of 5G cell sites. Rollout starts 2027. Every one of those towers needs power. Lineworkers run it. Median pay $95,320. Top 10% over $128,690. High school diploma plus an apprenticeship. Would you push your kid into it? Yes or no?

Starlink just signed Qualcomm's biggest 5G deal ever. Tens of thousands of cell sites. Rollout starts 2027. In March SpaceX said it wasn't becoming a carrier. Now it's building towers under its satellites. Verizon, AT&T and T Mobile are nervous. Would you switch? Yes or no?

And here we go
Starlink Mobile is building the first fully-integrated US nationwide satellite and terrestrial network that will keep people connected on their phones no matter where they are. Our 5G base stations will leverage @Qualcomm chips to accelerate deployment, starting in 2027 🛰️📱

AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile all told Musk no. So SpaceX is reportedly in talks to buy Boost Mobile and its 7 million+ customers. Catch: Boost runs on AT&T and T Mobile's networks. They may get a veto. Let Musk in, or let the Big 3 block him?

Verizon raises its own per-line fee Nov 15. $3.78 to $4.69. Their website says it's not a tax, they keep it. Your price lock doesn't cover it. Junk fee or fair cost?
