I have had a number of recent conversations that lead me to a very uncomfortable conclusion:

CHRISTIANS AREN’T REMOTELY READY FOR THE ERA OF AI.

Indulge me on a sprawling thread while I explain six complexities of what makes this conversation so difficult.

SpaceX has just unveiled a massive new $50 billion Supercomputing Campus that they want to build in Cochise County, Arizona.

All info:
• Up to 6 GW across the 9 supercomputing buildings
• Construction starts 2027
• Size of each supercomputing building: ~493,000 square feet.
• Total supercomputing building space: 4.44 million square feet, excluding support facilities.
• SSVEC residential customers are projected to see electricity bill reductions of 10–40%.
• Up to 24 GWh of grid-connected battery storage to provide backup power, stabilize the regional electric grid, support local voltage, and absorb fluctuations in electricity demand. Among the largest planned battery installations in the United States.
• Additional solar generation in the region is planned to supply renewable electricity during the day and reduce demand on the local grid.
• No dedicated on-site power plant or fuel storage yard is planned.
• Each supercomputing building will have 10 MW of natural-gas-powered standby generation for critical equipment, operating only during utility outages and periodic testing.
• No gas turbines will be installed at the site.
• SpaceX plans to fund $3.6 billion in grid infrastructure upgrades, transferred to AEPCO at no cost to its members.
• Up to $260 million annually in additional benefits for cooperative members at full buildout, on top of residential bill reductions.
• Up to $200 million annually for cooperative members statewide, in addition to SSVEC benefits.
• The supercomputers will use dry cooling with a closed-loop water circulation system rather than evaporative cooling.
• SpaceX projects zero ongoing industrial water consumption.
• The cooling system will be filled initially, with water reused for up to 10 years.
• SpaceX estimates annual water usage equivalent to approximately 20–30 Arizona residential homes.
• Projected annual water use would be less than 2.5% of a single center-pivot irrigation system's annual consumption.
• Permanent jobs: Approximately 1,000.
• Construction jobs: Approximately 5,500.
• Annual property tax revenue: Up to $103 million in estimated new annual revenue.
• Regional economic benefits: SpaceX says its investment will support public education, infrastructure, essential local services, and economic development.
• Local suppliers: SpaceX is encouraging suppliers to participate in construction and development of the campus.
• Noise mitigation: Equipment will be positioned away from neighboring properties where possible, with setbacks and additional screening to reduce noise.
• Nighttime lighting: Outdoor lighting will remain off unless work is underway, with active lights shielded and directed downward.
• Dark-sky protection: The campus will comply with Cochise County's dark-sky requirements to limit light pollution.
• Nighttime construction: SpaceX says it will seek waivers when nighttime construction lighting is necessary.
• Wildlife protection: The campus is being designed with consideration for the region's sandhill crane wintering habitat.

This campus's purpose is to build one of the world's most advanced AI supercomputing campuses to train SpaceX's superintelligence models and support scientific and engineering breakthroughs.

🚨BREAKING: Big New Report Analysis Reveals Mathematical Impossibility of 2026 Midterm Results, With a 00.15% Chance The Election Numbers Are Legitimate

A new analysis puts the odds of legitimate 2026 midterm results at 0.15 percent.
Republicans retained about 85 percent of Trump’s 2024 share in Senate races.
States where Trump was under 58.5 percent in 2024 fell below 50 percent for Republicans.
The same proportion appeared across both red and blue states.
Twenty nine of 30 Senate races fell below Trump’s prior share.

NEWS: Ex-Tesla president says Elon challenged him to run Tesla on three sentence emails

Jon McNeill says sentence 1 is the problem. Sentence 2 is the solution. Sentence 3 is the next step.

He says Elon's other rule was to give him bad news fast, because "bad news only gets worse with time."

@literaryeric Not sure you are the right skill set to be making these kinds of judgments.

[Michael | AI + Agents @Michael_Fenech_]

Most people are barely scratching the surface of what Grok Bot can do.

Here are five instructions I'd give your Chief of Staff to take your setup from beginner to power user.

Each one unlocks a different capability, and you can copy the instructions directly into your Chief of Staff.

1 - MAKE GROK BOT WORK WITHOUT BEING ASKED

Most people either message Grok Bot or set up scheduled routines.

But Grok Bot can also start working when something happens in another app.

An iPhone alarm stops. An important email arrives. A customer submits a form.

These events can trigger work automatically through supported integrations, automations and webhooks.

Tell your Chief of Staff:

"Find five recurring jobs in my life or work that could start automatically when something happens. Investigate triggers from iPhone Shortcuts, email, webhooks and connected apps. Rank them by usefulness and ease of setup. Show me how we'd implement the best one. Don't activate anything without my approval."

2 - TURN SUCCESSFUL WORK INTO REUSABLE SKILLS

Every time Grok Bot completes a job successfully, there's an opportunity to make that process repeatable.

Instead of explaining the same job over and over, turn the method into a skill with clear instructions, inputs and checks.

Tell your Chief of Staff:

"Review the recurring jobs you've completed for me. Identify five that could become reusable skills. For each, define when to use it, what information it needs, the steps involved, how to check the result and when to ask for approval. Recommend the best one to build and test first."

3 - MAKE YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF MANAGE A TEAM OF BOTS

You shouldn't have to coordinate every specialist bot yourself.

Your Chief of Staff can become the central coordinator, delegating work, collecting results and bringing decisions back to you.

Tell your Chief of Staff:

"Review the work I regularly give you. Identify which jobs you should own and which would benefit from specialist bots. Recommend a small team with clearly defined responsibilities. Design how you'd delegate tasks, track progress, check results and report exceptions. Don't create new bots without my approval."

4 - MAKE GROK BOT FIND PROBLEMS IN ITS OWN SETUP

As your setup grows, you can end up with failed routines, duplicated work, outdated instructions and unfinished jobs.

Instead of discovering problems yourself, give your Chief of Staff responsibility for checking the system.

Tell your Chief of Staff:

"Design a weekly health check for my Grok Bot setup. Look for failed or missed routines, unfinished tasks, duplicated work, stale information and recurring corrections. Use records you can actually access and flag anything you can't inspect. Give me the five most important fixes ranked by impact. Make no changes without approval."

5 - TEACH GROK BOT TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY

Not every job needs Grok Bot to open a browser and click through software.

Sometimes a connected app, direct API or simple script can do the job more efficiently.

Choosing the right method can reduce unnecessary work, failures and usage.

Tell your Chief of Staff:

"Review five recurring jobs that require multiple tool actions. Compare whether connected apps, APIs, scripts, browser automation or computer use would be the most appropriate method. Prioritise reliability, security and efficient usage. Recommend improvements and explain what we'd need to test before changing anything."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

These five upgrades change how you use Grok Bot.

1 - It starts working when something happens.

2 - It remembers successful methods through reusable skills.

3 - It coordinates other bots instead of making you manage them.

4 - It helps identify problems before they keep repeating.

5 - It chooses better ways to complete work.

You move from constantly telling Grok Bot what to do toward building a system that can organise, execute and improve work with less intervention.

Start by giving your Chief of Staff instruction number one, then work through the remaining four.

You don't need to implement everything at once. Each upgrade makes your setup more capable.

[Roman Ugarte @romanugarte_]

Bot 1.0 is out. Our goal for this release was to make Bots a much more useful part of your team.

Some new things we're excited about:

- Bots can now join Zoom, Google Meet, and more. You can ask Bot questions in meetings and even assign it action items. We have ours taking standup notes every day in our shared Google Doc and doing background research on discussion themes. Soon, you'll be able to talk back and forth with it live in a meeting.

- A new interface for managing your Bots. You can see and steer their responsibilities, what they're learning, and their impact. It's impossible to build trust in an AI teammate if it's a black box, so it should proactively flag when it's blocked or confused, take and learn from feedback across the company, and be able to succinctly summarize its contributions.

- Better collaboration in Slack and Teams. Bots are more ambiently aware, carry context across conversations, and learn from your team over time. In our Slack, we regularly see threads between members of our team and multiple Bots, handing off work, context, and decisions. Bots should intuit your company's customs and how work gets done, not just execute on the specific tasks they're given.

@quantian1 Right. SpaceX is toast. We are at peak demand for compute, and if there is any additional demand, Anthropic will just build out datacenters like they have been doing.

What about power consumption?

AI power use is trivial compared to other industries like steel or cement production (and no one is upset about those).
