@joshkim Had the Best GrokBot Demo by far.
Watched all 3 days of the Grok/xAI live stream and this was one of the best demos of them all.
Well played 👏 #bot#grokbot
This is "The Odyssey" as Homer intended. My longest, most intricate work to date. I pushed @grok@imagine to its absolute limits to create this 5-minute epic.
What bothered me most about the recent adaptation was the omission of the Phaeacians and Princess Nausicaa, whom Odysseus told his story to in the original poem.
I focused my rendition on the introduction to Nausicaa and his love for his family. The motive driving him was the memory he kept for so long, even when his journey tried to make him forget. As a husband and new father, that's something I felt deeply. I challenged myself to try to fit everything I could from the source material and used GROK for research.
Hope you enjoy. Workflow and process coming soon. I'm working on a deep dive showing how I used @grok for research, scripting, and prompting. I used @imagine to animate and visualize every shot and bring this to life. Share it if you dig it! @elonmusk
Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.
It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.
The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.
By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.
NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.
The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.
Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.
We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.
That's what engineering for the long term looks like.
