@elonmusk I was so excited to try it today, since I love commercial Grok. However, I gave it queries today, and I was very disappointed compared to SuperGrok. It was slow, and its default data was very out of date. It couldn't find a regulation updated last year, and it took ten minutes for it to tell my that. Also, file uploads were all said to be empty after ten minutes of thinking. I reported this to the helpdesk because I imagine it's an implementation problem. Good luck, and please keep working on it! We need Grok!

@japan_nobunaga I don't like when people say hello by asking a question they don't want an answer to.

Ridiculous

[SilverTrade @silvertrade]

🏦🥾The management of global financial systems has reached such an extent that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve- the most powerful financial institution in the world- deemed it necessary to begin his first keynote speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium with a cleverly designed scheme to TRICK all the algos into believing he is telegraphing an INTEREST RATE HIKE⚠️

In this morning's speech, Warsh literally opened with stories about HIKING on the trails around the area.

He noted that organizers had recreation options lined up and advised attendees to choose carefully.
He said there are two very different kinds of HIKES:

HIKES with former Fed Vice Chair Don Kohn were “steely marathon death marches.”

Warsh summed those up in two words: “I survived.” They “revealed a side of Don I wasn’t ready for.”

HIKES with former Chair Ben Bernanke were “a much more leisurely pace, an easy stroll along the wandering trails at the Rockefeller Preserve.”

His advice before heading out: do a wellness check and ask, “Is this a Kohn day or a Bernanke day?”

He also used the setting for a policy pun, calling his speech outline a “trail map” rather than “forward guidance.”

This was not accidental. I'd give 10 to 1 odds that Kevin Warsh hasn't set a single foot on any of the beautiful trails near Jackson Hole.

⚠️This is NEXT LEVEL MOPE (Management of Perception Economics).

Do traders REALLY believe that if Kevin Warsh ACTUALLY planned to HIKE interest rates in September, he would waste 10 minutes at the beginning of the most important speech of his career rambling about his wilderness explorations around Jackson Hole & the Grand Tetons before calling those ramblings more of a "trail map" than "forward guidance"⁉️

Warsh's speech was cleverly designed to trigger the algos to smash gold $200 & silver $5 merely due to 58 references to Kevin &Ben Bernanke's 🥾Merrell's within 10 minutes.

Followed by a disclaimer that this isn't forward guidance when Warsh fails to hike interest rates next month.

The markets are interpreting speech as a guarantee that The Fed is going to HIKE INTEREST RATES IN SEPTEMBER⁉️

The man who Donald Trump personally picked to replace Jerome Powell because he refused to CUT interest rates further is going to HIKE interest rates 45 days before the mid-term elections⁉️

GIVE ME A BREAK.

The Treasury and the Fed are BOXED IN.
They are going to need to launch Yield Curve Control.
They are going to attempt to PRINT their way out of this.

Kevin Warsh just executed an algo KILL SHOT that bought himself 3 weeks.

Thanks for playing.

Got gold & silver⁉️

@unusual_whales How can he not know about a room in his own house, but at the same time do a good job running the most populous, highest income state in the union?

@GeraldoRivera You're the Temu @JohnStossel. Do better.

[Wife Of Dirty Tesla @WifeDirtyTesla]

FSD is driving down a 2 lane Rd, 50mph. A car approaches the road at an intersection. About 70% of the time, FSD brakes very hard once as if that car is going to barrel into us when it's clearly coming to a stop. This overly cautious brake stabbing has been an issue since 14.3, but seems even worse on 14.3.8. People trying FSD for the first time on this version will never subscribe with this kind of stuff happening. Pleeeeaasse fix it! We need the smoothness back!

@Teslaconomics Definitely give it an isolated account with no connections, and at a new bank, if you're going to test it.

The Founding Fathers believed people should not elect U.S. Senators. They were right.

[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

One of the true great humans to have lived. Her music, her philanthropy, her way of life, and always being her truly incredible self. She had a great run, and her impact will live on for generations.

A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

@DannyNoonanGolf @CallawayGolf Just a stupid ad. That's what they should have said.

@ADoricko If you fix a drought in one place, you potentially create a drought in another place. Unless you're putting water in the clouds, you're just wringing the sponge earlier.

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

@ADoricko @grimminal If you're not putting water in the clouds, you're taking water from where it would have gone instead. Remember this.

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

@InsiderWire @grok is this true? If so, why?

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

100% ! Wickard v Filburn and its progeny are the worst standing precedent. They effectively destroyed the enumerated powers doctrine.

[Patrick Henry @PatrickHenry_II]

@tedcruz So much bad precedent. I’d love to see him go back and overturn Wickard v Filburn. And Kelo.

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

@unusual_whales What do the other 34% want? To die and hope their unspent money gets used well? Strange survey.

[James Walston @JamesWalston]

@robotaxi @reggieoverton Navigation auto route choice needs a lot of work. I find if I set a route far away, I get bad routes to certain destinations. But if I end the route and restart it closer to the destination, I get the correct options after the bad routes have passed. It's a frustrating error.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Whether it’s called a dictatorship, a monarchy, or a republic,

Whether the executive is a mayor, a governor, or a president,

Regardless of what the written law says,

GOVERNMENT is always just whatever those who are governed will let those who are in office get away with.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Trump Derangement Syndrome has so debilitated @ErinBurnett that she has abandoned both common sense and basic arithmetic.

CNN wants us to incorporate the full package price of every ingredient, regardless of what is used in the recipe.

If you put a squirt of ketchup on your burger, would you be surprised if the restaurant charged you for the whole bottle?

The Real Food Show uses standard recipe costing: we count what the recipe actually uses. The rest stays in your kitchen for the next meal—and the meals after that.

Our goal is simple: help Americans reclaim their kitchens, cook healthy food without breaking the bank, and stock their pantries with high-quality ingredients they can use again and again.

That’s how we Make America Healthy Again. 🇺🇸
