This will be the most consequential acquisition in the decade

Lucky to have been part of the Cursor ride for the past year, this is just the beginning

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Cursor is now part of @SpaceX.

Today, we have officially closed our acquisition. We will join the @SpaceXAI team to help make Grok the world's most useful AI and improve Grok Build, Grok Bot, Grok API, Cursor, and more.

SpaceX has built some of the most inspiring and impressive technology in the world, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to become part of such a special company. Onwards.

@Austen Gotta dignify these guys with some profile pictures

[Adam Stanco @AdamStanco]

Have been using grok bot for the past month and all I can say is it feels like the future

Specifically being able to personify the agents with different names, profile pictures, personalities + having the chat feel like a DM is incredibly cool and addictive. Video game esque

[Grok Bot @bot]

Introducing Grok Bot, now in early beta.

Bots are AI teammates that do real work for you. They sign in to your tools, use them just like you do, and come back with finished work.

Even though I paid for an additional annual plan, my account still has a "Pay now to reinstate your account" CTA, but when I click this it takes me to a broken page.

@alexfeinberg Be slightly better at everything:
- squat: 275 --> 300
- deadlift: 375 --> 405
- incline db: 80s --> 90s
- w pull ups: 55lbs --> 75lbs
- bodyfat: stay 10%

Grip strength on dead hangs at the beginning of my workout is an excellent signal for how strong I'm going to be for the day

A better way to spice eggs than tabasco sauce (disgusting) is to cook Calabrian chili paste in bacon fat before putting your eggs in the pan

I have Ciryl Gane winning. Heavyweight Jon Jones is looking a little fat #UFC285

A low doesn't cripple you
A high doesn't delude you

Maturity is indifference to where you are on the path. Mired in pain and fog. Or gratified with triumph and clarity.

You understand it all balances in the end

Peace in each!

On highs and lows

"Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly hidden by those that follow after"

-- meditations

[Adam Stanco @AdamStanco]

Children have dramatic reactions to the highs and lows of life. Each trial is the end of the world, and each success is monumental

As you age you start to be able to see highs and lows as part of a longer trajectory of your life

[Adam Stanco @AdamStanco]

Winning once doesn't mean you never lose thereafter

Realistic expectations always

[Adam Stanco @AdamStanco]

Force yourself to be addicted to things that at least bring you external benefits
- exercise
- creative hobbies (music, art, writing, etc)
- investing

Rather than destructive vices that eat joy from other areas of your life
- alcohol
- sugar
- sports betting
- social media

The harder you clutch
The more things tend to slip from your grasp
