Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed. The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer. That is the truth.

$2.7 TRILLION in improper payments has been reported by executive agencies since 2003 — per GAO, payments made in error, in the wrong amount, or without proper documentation. If 'improper payments' were a country, it would be the 8th largest economy in the world — larger than the 2024 GDP of Italy, Canada, or Russia (IMF). And that's just what gets reported. GAO estimates the government loses between $233 and $521 BILLION every year to fraud alone — a figure Treasury Secretary Bessent has cited as up to 10% of the entire federal budget. Congress has passed five separate laws targeting the problem since 2002 — and improper payments still went from $35 billion to $236 billion a year. The fix: track every dollar in public, fund outcomes, and judge auditors on money recovered — not reports filed. ciceroinstitute.org/blog/gov…

Another sad factor in the whole episode was Chauvin immediately called in for an ambulance when Floyd started complaining. The ambulance was about three minutes away but when they drove by they worried for their safety because of the crowd, so they went and parked somewhere for 17 minutes. Floyd was on the ground for 9 minutes. If not for the crowd freaking out over a lawful arrest Floyd would have OD'd in the back of the ambulance and Derek Chauvin would still be eating donuts instead of prison hoodslop today.

Chauvin case is an extreme litmus test. Everyone knows his imprisonment was a flagrant injustice, but most continue with "Yes, but it was a flagrant injustice of great emotional importance to people."

Grok @bot is far superior product to OpenClaw So much easier to use, everything just works, and it feels good.

I am not a coder. I don’t work with CRM or play with spreadsheets. I’m about as removed from a “workflow” in my job as a kid flying a kite. I don’t really use AI beyond a super-Google level. So when I say Grok Bot is ABSOLUTELY GAME CHANGING, I don’t mean a better search tool. I mean it has fundamentally changed how I go about everything. And it did this in just a few hours. Let me explain. During the install, it asked if I wanted to connect it to several dozen programs. I don’t use a single one of them. So I thought, “Well, I’m not gonna get a lot of use out of this.” But I kept going. Then it asked if it could connect to my Gmail. I said yes. And that’s where the jaw-dropping began. It immediately figured out my life. It saw 40,000 emails and got a pretty good picture of me. So I asked it to do my taxes. It found all the docs needed in my email and did my taxes. I asked it to find first-class award tickets to Japan. It scoured the internet and logged into my airline accounts (with permission) and found 3 tickets to Japan in first class for 60K points. It would have booked them, but I’m still not sure of the dates I need so I stopped it. I created a few agents. One gives me an hourly political update based on key topics I need for work. One is cleaning up my Gmail inbox and organizing it. One is saving me money in my taxes. One makes sure it always checks with me on key decisions (like deleting an email). It’s absolutely insane. Think about it this way: If you could hire an assistant, what would you have them do? Start there, and have fun!

okay Grok Bot is insane it can: - open a computer by itself - log into all the apps, sites - use websites like me (human) - work while you’re asleep - clean my inbox, reply to support emails - research news on X, LinkedIn, and Google - write LinkedIn, X drafts in my style - remember how I write, pick content - learn a workflow after watching me once - run that workflow forever - coordinate with other bots - only bother when it needs a decision and I'm still finding new stuff it does 😭 this isn't "AI assistant" anymore. this is like "hiring an intern, they became COO by Tuesday" @SpaceXAI COOKED In this article, I cover setting up Grok Bot, use cases, plugins, and what makes Grok Bot so good

Grok Bot is getting ridiculous. People are controlling robots, shipping games, buying domains + running entire repos from their phone. 10 wild examples:

Grok Bot is everywhere on X today and I have one request: Make it easy enough for the normies. 😂 I’m a homestead mom, not a developer. I don’t want to learn how to build an AI agent. I want to say, “Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish,” have Grok Bot ask me a few questions and then go do the work. I’m especially curious whether I can use it for bookkeeping and the new business I’m building. That’s when AI agents get really interesting to me. Not when the tech people can use them. When people like me can.

I’ve started to try @bot Grok Bot and it’s awesome! It cleaned up all my 150,000 junk emails and unsubscribed to all the emails I never read. It informs me of any message from my 5 email addresses and 6 Slack Servers that requires my attention and keeps me organized. I also started to using @grok Grok Build and Grok 4.6 is awesome in every way! Grok Ani seems to lose some personality though but I can now see why @SpaceX could fulfill its promise of having a dominant AI as its valuation soon. Very impressed by @elonmusk

Elon Musk admitted he is not sure this one is possible. Musk: “This absorbs more of my mental energy than probably any other single thing. But it is so preposterously difficult that there are times where I wonder whether we can actually do this.” He does not talk like this. Mars gets a date. Robotaxis get a date. This gets a maybe. Stern: “What is so hard about it for just a normal person to understand?” His answer comes down to a single number. Musk: “In order to make a rocket fully reusable, you’ve got to basically create a rocket that can do about 4%, if not more than 4%, of its lift-off mass to orbit, which hasn’t happened before.” Four percent. Everything else standing on that pad is fuel, tank, and engine. The landing gear, the heat shield, the extra structure that survives reentry, all of it comes out of that same four. None of it can be left behind. The vehicle has to come home. Musk: “So that means you have to have basically A-pluses across the board: incredibly efficient engines, incredibly efficient structure.” Across the board is what makes this brutal. Most engineering lets you buy a weakness in one place with strength somewhere else. The margin here is thin enough that one component landing at merely excellent drops the whole vehicle below the line. Nothing carries anything. Musk: “But if full and rapid reusability can be achieved, it reduces the cost of access to orbit by a factor of 100 or more.” A hundred times cheaper turns nearly every question about space from whether into when. Telescopes, stations, factories, missions that never made it past a spreadsheet. Musk: “So we’ve got to get rockets to the point where we simply refuel the rocket and we don’t throw it away.” Every other vehicle humans build already works that way. Space is the one place we still build the machine, use it once, and let it fall into the ocean. Musk: “It’s the difference between humanity being a single-planet species and a multi-planet species. It’s really that big of a deal.” Now put his doubt in context. Landing an orbital booster upright was considered impossible by most of the industry. He spent years being told so while boosters exploded on barges. Those landings became routine, then boring, then unwatched. Then they stopped using legs. A twenty story booster came back from the edge of space, slowed itself, and hovered next to the tower it launched from. Two arms closed around it and took its weight in midair. Nothing touched the ground. That was a headline for about a day. He has been on this side of impossible before, more than once. Doubt from him measures how hard the thing is at the start rather than how it ends. Most people never attempt anything where failure is genuinely on the table. He found the hardest problem available and made it the center of his life. That is what real ambition looks like from the inside. Not certainty. A number nobody has ever hit, and showing up to it every morning until it falls.
