Congrats to the @Starlink engineering & production teams on excellent work!
It was great to see everyone when I walked the production line in Redmond on Wednesday 🖤✨
The Iliad and Odyssey are the only nearly complete survivors of the Epic Cycle, an 8 part collection of ancient Greek epics that once told the full mythological story of the Trojan War.
Homer’s poems cover only a small portion of this larger saga, with the Iliad focusing on a brief period near the end of the war and the Odyssey detailing Odysseus’ return home.
The other lost epics, including the Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi, and Telegony, expanded the narrative to include the origins of the war, Achilles’ later battles, the fall of Troy, the Greek heroes’ returns, and Odysseus’ final fate.
Though these poems were once foundational to Greek literary culture, they were gradually lost as manuscript traditions declined, leaving behind only fragments, summaries, and references from later classical writers.

“That's today’s Picasso.”
“Very few teams can move forward by subtraction.”
“The world belongs to the fast. The people who iterate. The people who adjust. The people who understand what’s costly, what’s unnecessary, and prune away the rest.”
Civilization and almost all human progress have been created by a talented few for the benefit of the many.
The key to sustaining this is maintaining the conditions that allow exceptional individuals to arise and excel.
Only then is the dysfunction of the average safely diluted and rendered non-lethal to themselves and everyone else.
Most find this reality hard to accept.

Grok Computer just released and it comes with full filesystem + CLI access
This is the upgrade everyone’s been waiting for
Regular Grok chat gives you suggestions. Grok Computer actually does the work
It can now:
• Directly read, edit, create, and organize files
• Run any shell commands, install packages, and execute scripts
• Refactor entire codebases across dozens of files in one go
• Debug crashes by searching logs and fixing root causes live
• Build apps, scrapers, automation scripts - then test and iterate until they work
• Create images, diagrams, concept art, and memes with Grok Imagine.....saving them straight to your filesystem instantly
No more copy-paste hell. No more switching tabs or describing what you want. Grok becomes a true pair programmer + creative partner that touches your actual project and generates visuals seamlessly
A lot more coming soon 🚀
