So I said to Grok: “I am of the mind that humanity’s technology has out developed it’s ability to understand and rationally guide it. Write me a thesis on this supposition.”

@Grok had some thoughts:

I told the officer he didn’t have probable cause for a traffic violation, and his stop was an #unconstitutional #rightsviolation

Proof: His motion to dismiss because he “misinterpreted the statute”.

Case dismissed, livestream at 6pm PST

Police incompetence is a bummer.
Lackluster breaking down the inexcusable traffic stop I was recently subjected to:

Yeah, I went nuts, CPTSD is hellish.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

I had a full blown CPTSD meltdown on this traffic stop, but stood my ground.

It’s time to end unconstitutional policing everywhere!

Wow, I just saw a fellow
at a store which carries my
fidgets, he has had this one
on his keys for 30 Years!

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

@adam_donmez Yes, although my art has evolved,
I still make the best fidgets. I just
don't have a public facing sale
offer at all. I sell in person at the
Eugene Saturday Market, starting
again in April.

I edited that @Grok Rocks video down to 30 seconds from 49, didn’t read the rules,
was just playing with the concept, 1M is a huge prize, I’m not sure I’ll get that much hop out of my bunny. ;)

This is the original version.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

Grok Rocks!

[Creators @XCreators]

You thought the fun was over? 🏈

This weekend, video takes center stage on the timeline.

We’re awarding $1M, $500K, and $250K to the top three videos about @grok, created with Imagine 1.0.

I cut this mat board #live on
@YouTube this morning having coffee.

By default YT makes “lives” private after they’re complete, so I deleted the post.

⏱️One hour start to finish,
📏no ruler,
✏️no drafting,
📝no embossing.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

Made this today!
It's fun to revisit my old
designs now & then.
It's been a long time since 99.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

@TonyRobbins I often wonder if Tony remembers me
telling him about time cognizance being
trainable by wearing watches on both
wrists back in the 90’s in Denver.
Gave him a fidget too,
and shook his hand.

It's my 57th birth anniversary,
aka "birthday"!

However, since I was born on a
Tuesday, I'm going with that as
my "birth-day".

That's 52 birthdays a year!

What a great world it could be if
everyone was kinder to each other,
even if just one day per week.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

@DavidSHolz These are good examples,
I love the images just
appearing out of nothing, it
makes the brain kind of “pre-wonder” somehow.

Maybe https://t.co/YjX07bs2vA could have a forming picture/video channel someday?

I know at least I’d watch it.

[Shaz Rydstedt @usashaz]

@DavidSHolz Video TV is a cool function/feature...
A couple years ago in a Wed OH
I suggested that a page with the forming video where the images take
shape would be great to watch...
I still think it would be very "new media", and people would enjoy it.

Ai can really bring the silly.
