@lydiahallie Remote control, seriously, no tokens are wasted now.

@MarkoMatvikov “This reduces spending in the moment but saves it for the worker's future, rather than handing it to banks via higher mortgage rates.”

@Teslaconomics I’m giving it access to my kids’ school app so it can scan the messages for relevant events and put them into my calendar. Among other things

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@TheSpacerr @claudeai Still cheaper than paying for usage

@wholemars I already have this built into my app except I trigger the process manually. Claude code considers the feedback with me, pushes the fix, replies to the user and closes out the request. They can also converse directly with the user in the app. I can make this a routine any time.

@wholemars What is cool is both business models work, so they can absorb a downturn in the economy by keeping the cars they make and keep just making them at full speed. Then when things are good, they just sell more of them. This makes $TSLA somewhat immune to the economic cycle.

@Teslaconomics @SpaceXAI @cursor_ai I need grok bot to write to 139 CEOs of every Local Government in WA, every planning consultancy, every builder, every architecture firm, and every association and institution that has anything to do with housing in Western Australia; marketing for my product.

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@niccruzpatane @bot I’m very keen to try it out. I have many cases but basically to fill the gap between what I have time and skills for and what I don’t. I’ve built a great product but I need someone to assist with all of the ancillary aspects of launching a business.

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@Teslaconomics @cursor_ai @SpaceXAI I build this great product but I need grok bot to help ship it and manage the marketing, communications, feedback loop with customers etc, ongoing improvement, drafting documentation, road test it and gets new features.

@geoffnewman68 They did this with HW4 and it went wide two months after the equivalent of this email but it went early access much earlier. Might be just a couple of weeks away

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@solopribuilds I used to be afraid of this. Until I actually built it. Many months of work to get it to be not wrong.

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@ClaudeDevs Why doing you do the off peak thing again? That was awesome for Australian users 😬

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@Owennfa Similar situation in Australia but get this. The government is about to start taxing you’re poor trapped gramps for each empty bedroom.

@ardent__dev Knowing when the AI is wrong. I.e. subject matter expertise.

I wrote a snippet about this a couple of years ago for the Geraldton industrial lands study. Effectively just saying that the most efficient way to export renewable energy at scale is with 1s and 0s by co-locating data centres with renewable energy facilities and an internet connection… this was back in late 2024 so with the benefit of hindsight it feels like I was thinking way ahead of the curve at the time.

@alexwtlf You have to build something only you can build

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@pcshipp @e_herou1 I’ve been going since march and still perfecting. It doesn’t help that I keep adding increasingly sophisticated features.

[Oscar Thomson @OscarSpatial]

@satoshigoy Any second now

@GrindeOptions $CLF. The only scale manufacturer of grain oriented electrical steel in ‘Merica.

@NSharp2025 Very soon!
