@jackcoder0 I guess all those people better start learning how to do stuff with their hands. Pull wire, lay brick, frame a wall, pour concrete. How to turn a screwdriver in the field. Electricians are in short supply, Plumbers are in short supply, Try staffing a full construction team.

We joke around a lot some are hilarious. Integrating Grok as a super user has been an absolute game changer for my everyday work, analysis, and ability to explore new ideas. I’m now making connections between concepts and opportunities that would never have been easily available before

@elonmusk Nice

@HowToAI_ This is impressive technology, but also quite concerning. Having real-time tracking of commercial flights, military aircraft, naval vessels, and satellites all open source creates some serious security and privacy risks. The potential for misuse is significant.

Nothing better than watching the younger techs in our apprenticeship program start figuring things out on their own. You can see the light bulb go off when they finally understand how to troubleshoot a problem properly.

[James H. Aarstad @JAarstadTech]

Biggest challenge in our industry right now is the massive knowledge gap. As experienced techs retire, we're losing decades of real-world expertise. That's why I'm chairing an electrical apprenticeship program and pushing hard to promote the trades.
