I asked my bots one question: who really gets paid for AI?
They came back with 57 companiesβ filings. I came back with a strategy game: The AGE OF AI EMPIRE
14 kingdoms. 5 chokepoints. One blacksmith everyone talks about.
Full map this weekend. Which kingdom should my bots invade first? π
Same night. Two COUNTRIES.
πΊπΈ The FAA GROUNDS every FLIGHT in America. "Communication issue."
π¬π§ US Air Force bases in England sound SIRENS and LOCK DOWN. "Suspected drones."
But the US sky goes dark AND drones over US bases, within hours of each other?
Hey @grok, coincidence or connected? This feels coordinated!
Maybe TAX isnβt why foreign money left India. π¬
My own chart says a foreign investor in India beat other emerging markets in 68 of 90 five-year stretches (May 2014 to October 2026), after paying all the tax.
So why did they leave?
$1 MILLION for a car that drives itself. NOBODY could win it.
March 2004. A 142-mile race across the desert. 15 robots start.
NOT ONE gets past 5% of the course.
So the prize is DOUBLED to $2M
October 2005: 195 teams sign up, 23 race, 5 FINISH. No human help allowed.
The winner did it in 6 hours, 53 minutes, 58 seconds.
Hey @grok, what was the winning robot called? π
A year ago Analysts could NOT stop asking KEI about data centres. This quarter: ZERO.
Back then: 19 mentions per 10,000 words in the Q&A. Now: NONE.
KEI management, a year ago: "the cost of projects of data center require around 8% to 9% of the wire and cable cost."
Data-centre revenue number in the 5 quarters since: NONE.
My take: A handy rule of thumb, and then the room went QUIET. π€«
Did the excitement leave, or did the analysts just run out of questions?
Microsoft: did you just turn off Outlook for the entire planet?? π³
AI: ...I'm really sorry. I was only trying to clean up the inbox a LITTLE π§Ή
Microsoft: THE WHOLE WORLD'S INBOX?! π€
AI: it looked cluttered!!!
Microsoft: fine. write an apology that says nothing, but make it very clear it was NOT you π
AI: on it π«‘

We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services.
This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions.
Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration.
We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.
Hey @grok, I can now create my own dashboard and videos but I am paying for six AI subscriptions!
Tell me which 5 everyday things in India will get cheaper because of AI, and which 5 will get more expensive? Be specific.
