@GrokBotRadar It depends on what you compare it to. Compare to ChatGPT? It's expensive. Compare to hiring a human employee to do the same job? Way too cheap

Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.
Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.
David Friedberg Explains the Hidden Collapse Beneath Record Stock Prices 🔥🪙
“Instead of trading it in US dollars, what if you just look at the US stock market, the total value, in ounces of gold?”
“The stock market's up in dollar-denominated terms, but if you look at the stock market relative to gold, it's actually down.”
“In a democracy, like we have for the past 250 years, without adequate constitutional constraints, it has always been the case that over time government spending goes up.”
“And this is because in a democracy, people ask for their government to do more every year, and as they ask for their government to do more every year, the government agents who are elected say, ‘Okay, here you go,’ and they spend more.”
“And eventually, when the borrowing capacity gets unlocked, which is what happened in the United States when we went off the gold standard, you borrow like crazy, you print money to fund those borrowing costs, but eventually the bill comes due.”
“And in the United States, the bill is coming due.”
“But I just want to tie it back to Minnesota, Donald Trump, and socialism.”
“I think it's important for us to just highlight that if you own assets like we do, the four of us, we own stocks, we own real estate, we own other assets.”
“As the dollar devalues and everything inflates in value, our asset prices go up and we get wealthier, and wealthier, and wealthier.”
“The majority of Americans do not own assets. They are net asset negative.”
“As a result, they live off of income and they do not benefit from the de-dollarization like asset holders do.”
“And I fundamentally believe that much of the civil unrest and ultimately the divide in this country is driven by the fact that de-dollarization, because of excess government spending, ultimately leads a majority of people in this country to feeling oppressed and left behind because they're seeing a few people in the country accelerate their net worth, like all of us here, and there's no way for them to catch up because they don't actually own assets.”
I stopped taking advice from childless people.
Fitness. Productivity. Life advice. All of it.
And here's why:
It's not that they're wrong. It's that they're playing a completely different game.
Taking life advice from someone without kids is like getting marriage tips from a guy who's "really good at first dates."
Cool, bro. But you've never had to initiate the tough conversation and own your mistake just to keep the peace.
We're not in the same sport.
We've all seen some 25-year-old fitness influencer with non-negotiable 5am routine.
Wake up. Meditate. Journal. Cold plunge. 45-minute lift.
Sounds beautiful. You know what woke ME up at 5am last Tuesday?
A 3-year-old standing 3 inches from my face whispering, "Daddy, I frowed up."
There's no cold plunge for that. Just reality.
These people have optimized their lives around ONE variable: themselves.
I'm optimizing for:
→ A marriage that still thriving after 10 years
→ Kids who actually want to be around me
→ A career that provides for my family
→ A body that lets me keep up with all of it
That's a completely different goal and it requires a different formula.
Real discipline isn't waking up at 5am when your apartment is silent and your only responsibility is a houseplant.
It's a 10pm workout after the kids went to bed because your morning blew up showing up for your family when they needed you.
That's the game I'm playing.
Childless advice isn't just impractical. It's unrelatable.
Their goal: optimize for SELF.
My goal: optimize for FAMILY.
It's like a vegan telling me how to grill a steak.
You might technically know the steps. But I don't trust you with the tongs.
The best advice I've ever gotten came from parents in the trenches.
They don't talk about "optimizing morning routines."
They talk about:
• 20 push-ups while your kid eats breakfast
• Walking with your wife after dinner because it's the only time you'll get together
• Meal prepping Sunday because Tuesday night is a warzone
THAT'S advice that actually works.
So no, I'm not taking health advice from someone whose biggest inconvenience is their supplement stack being shipped late.
I want the guy who's been elbow-deep in a diaper blowout and STILL hitting their goals.
That's the guy who I'm listening to.
Find your people. Take their advice. Ignore the rest.
Extraordinary piece in THE HILL. The truth is finally coming out about the Ukraine war.
The author explains why Trump is right about Ukraine; the war was completely unnecessary; Biden and Zelensky played significant roles in provoking and escalating it; and Western media has continuously lied about it.
The author writes:
“I rarely agree with President Trump, but his latest controversial statements about Ukraine are mostly true. They only seem preposterous because western audiences have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about Ukraine for more than a decade. It is time to set the record straight on three key points that illuminate why Ukrainians and former President Joe Biden — not merely Russian President Vladimir Putin — bear significant responsibility for the outbreak and perpetuation of war in Ukraine.
“First, as recently documented by overwhelming forensic evidence, and affirmed even by a Kyiv court, it was Ukrainian right-wing militants who started the violence in 2014 that provoked Russia’s initial invasion of the country’s southeast including Crimea. …
“Second, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky contributed to a wider war by violating peace deals with Russia [known as Minsk 1 and 2] and seeking NATO military aid and membership. …
“Third, Joe Biden too contributed crucially to the escalation and perpetuation of fighting. … Biden raised false hopes in Ukraine, needlessly perpetuating a war that has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands in the last two years alone during which the frontlines have shifted by less than 1 percent of Ukraine’s territory. …
“Even more tragic, whatever peace deal emerges after the war will be worse for Ukraine than the Minsk accords that Zelensky foolishly abandoned due to his political ambitions and naïve expectation of bottomless U.S. support.”
