Fact-checking and finding the truth behind articles and posts he reads on X

"There are certain tools, like Grok, that I think really do go out of its way to be maximally truth-seeking. And then there are other tools that I think are showing themselves to be a little bit less predictable... If there's something that I read, often on ..."

Running AI agents independently on local hardware for AI sovereignty

"OpenClaw is a vote on making agents that are independent. If you use OpenClaw with Neotron or Gemma, which is Google's open source product, you will be sovereign AI. In other words, the AI running on your Mac Studio with 256 gigs of RAM."

GrokBot

Software

Calling businesses to negotiate bills. He used it to get his Comcast internet bill cut from $84 to $45 a month, and also had it build an app replaying the call.

Twitter research, finding B-roll, tech news, checking DMs via webhook delegation from Claude Code and Codex
