This works well. If Grok @Bot makes a mistake with a purchase or leaks your card (never happened yet), SpaceX will make you whole.

@Delta There’s no WiFi on any delta one flights across Pacific. Zero

SpaceX has just introduced Grok Voice 3.0

"It's the world’s most intelligent speech-to-speech model. It sets a new record for resolving customer support calls, has class-leading latency at under one second, and costs less than other frontier models. It's also cheaper to run than comparable models. Artificial Analysis measures what each model costs to complete a task in its Big Bench Audio run, and Grok Voice 3.0 comes in under both GPT-Live-1 (Astra, Medium) and GPT-Realtime-2.1.

Grok Voice 3.0 handles millions of conversations a day in Tesla vehicles. Drivers can use Connectors for simple requests like checking their calendar or answering an email, and Grok Bot for bigger tasks like ordering a coffee or booking dinner—all completely hands-free (see it on X). Grok Voice 3.0 also powers Grok Bot’s voice mode."

Tesla has announced free charging for those affected by Hurricane Isaias.

Local gas stations have announced that you can go fuck yourself, and have raised prices.

@alphafox When was the last time the graphic barrier has been smashed like this? Seems like it’s been a loooooong plateau with many young gamers actually embracing backward movement like Roblox and Minecraft
