Yarchi (@undefinedKi) reportedGrok Bot did an entire day of research on my own browser I asked @grok @bot to research a topic I keep meaning to understand, and watched it work on my own screen. Other models search the public pages, keyword by keyword. This one had my computer with my sessions and logins. It opened X search, typed the query, scrolled, opened the replies under the good posts. Then Reddit threads. Then the repos. I left. Came back to a report with every claim tagged as measured, claimed, or unverified, and a reading list at the end. I handed that list straight back and got a second pass with only what mattered. Half of what it found contradicted what my timeline has been repeating for weeks, and the sources were sitting there the whole time. That is a day of work I did not do. Point it at anything behind a login: your inbox, your analytics, your dashboards, competitor pricing, the internal tool nobody ever automated. You stop searching and start assigning.

commentary detective riorson 🕵🏻♀️ (@offcampustalker) reportedThe hate for this account has gotten crazy as ****, honestly. The LENGTHS people have gone to just to discredit everything I say are insane. Fake Reddit accounts, fake Instagram accounts, fake Twitter accounts, getting Deuxmoi involved… apparently taking me down has become a full-time operation. Imagine making multiple accounts because you’re this obsessed with someone. Did I ever tell you I made an Instagram account just to comment under that account? It got suspended, so naturally I made another one. Anyway, only freaks make multiple accounts because they can’t leave people alone. There was also something else that happened that was actually the main reason I left, but I’m not going to say what it was. Just know it was apparently even crazier than the Reddit accounts, Instagram accounts, Twitter accounts and the Deuxmoi hit job. And honestly, all of this confirms one thing for me: if you’re making accounts and watching me, you’re obsessed. If I’m making accounts and watching you, I’m investigating. Please learn the difference.

Dr. Q (bearycool) (@jk_drq) reported@remitardio @MoneyGram There are 15 other places for that $50s. I’m not worried about it. There are 192K problems, and if they all want to goblinsmaxx they are going to find that @theo talking about them is the least of their worries I suppose. I can get my coin. But sometimes you got to just put the **** public on blast and let Reddit scream over it on r/programminghumor I guess

Adrian von Fluegel (@vonFluegel) reported@captive_dreamer I think this whole notion of "old books will fix this" is pure stupidity. The domain of topics these books discuss barely overlaps with the domains the Reddit speak comes from. There is little hope this improves quality if that is the case.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reportedSomeone put 8 Grok bots on a shared operations dashboard to run a newsletter, a LinkedIn feed, and an X account, and the whole desk costs $200 a month vs the $15,000 a media agency would charge for the same output. The 8 roles on the desk: 1. HEAD OF DESK. Receives high-level targets ("3 posts a week, 20% growth on the newsletter, one article on the LinkedIn feed") and splits the work across the team. Only pings the human for the four decisions that matter. 2. SEARCH (Story Hunter). Scans RSS feeds, Google Trends, Reddit, Hacker News, and X search 24 hours a day for breaking stories in the topic area. Surfaces 20 to 40 leads a day. 3. FACT-CHECK (Editorial Review). Verifies claims, checks sources, flags anything that has weak citations or contradicts the current record. Blocks weak stories from moving downstream. 4. WRITER (Draft Executor). Turns approved briefs into publishable drafts in the tone and format the desk uses. 5. DISTRIBUTION Tracker. Monitors which posts are performing across X, LinkedIn, and Substack. Reports the top 3 formats every morning. 6. KILL Sentinel. Watches for legal issues, factual challenges, and performance below threshold. Pulls posts automatically if the risk trips a rule the human set. 7. PROMOTION Manager. Schedules reposts, boosts, cross-posts to strategic partner accounts based on the distribution data. 8. AUDIENCE Engine. Tracks subscriber growth, engagement clusters, and which authors and topics are working. Sends the human a Sunday summary. The pattern is the same as the pattern a Bloomberg desk uses. Or a New York Times editorial floor. Or a Morning Brew content team. Named roles, narrow ownership, handoffs between stations, one human at the top with veto power. The difference is that a Morning Brew content team costs the company somewhere north of $30,000 a month in salaries, benefits, and tooling. This one runs inside Grok Bot for the $200 a month a Premium+ subscription costs, plus maybe another $100 in Zapier and Substack fees. The weekly result the operator posted: 148 stories scanned, 18 passed full fact-check clearance, 7 published across the three channels, zero manual drafts written by the human, zero night shifts. The setup is not a chat window. It is an org chart. Each bot has a prompt file, a tool permission list, and a schedule. The Head of Desk knows what the other 7 are doing and coordinates the handoffs. The human only touches four things: send, spend, publish, delete. Everything reversible happens automatically. Everything irreversible waits in a queue for one click. I built a smaller version of this last month. Three roles instead of eight. Research, draft, publish. The setup took an afternoon. I now publish twice a week without touching the writing phase myself. My total marginal cost per post is roughly $2 in API calls. The old model was a media agency with 8 people billing $15,000 a month. The new model is 8 bots running inside a $200 a month subscription with a shared dashboard. The math has been available for over a year. Almost nobody has actually set it up. Someone else built the org chart. I just have to copy the roles.

Cruzurart (@Loki29440674) reported@Marshal_2EAL I think reddit has more variation, the worst parts of reddit are worse than twitter but the best parts are better too. Like you can learn useful **** or fix actual problems on reddit

Brutal Truth (@NicholastheWise) reported@ObviousRises I follow my alma mater's reddit thread. About a month ago someone was complaining they came across a guy in the library with his pants down to his knees jerking off.

Junie b Jones (@BlutifulNBlk) reportedWell after googling on reddit it said Scottish also pronounce it that way… so just seems like dialect that’s been passed down

Toma (@thebadassdev) reportedi think you're probably overcomplicating your life too much for distribution, i don't know what you're doing but if you want 2-3 tips: go on reddit or x, and find people talking about the problem your product solves. Then DM all of them. And pitch them your product. if you DM like 50 people a day on reddit and x, in 10 days you'll have your first 100 MRR if you want some scripts or more tips, DM me and I'll send them over

silv (@silveow) reported@blaney_bleh @Xuanathame character limits and the design of this app is the main issue, go on reddit or some other forum if you want big posts where people can actually expand on what they think

Reign (@lordlzard) reported@forktuner If it’s still a problem genuinely try to look on/ask Reddit, those people are like gods of knowledge I swear

RiseMore (@risemoreai) reportedA founder spent $500 on Reddit ads: 450 clicks, 3-second average visit. Then spent $0 on helpful comments: $1,500 project closed. Reddit has a mental ad-blocker that only turns off for real humans. The problem: being helpful on Reddit isn't scalable. Unless you have AI that finds the right threads.

czarivar (@czarivar) reported@BenjiGameDev I think it just comes down to most of the people interested in seeing WIPs and game dev bts content are other game devs, so that's who ends up being your audience on Twitter/Reddit. Hard to breach containment of that sphere.

sad cat (@sadcatsblues) reported1. canada as a concept didnt exist in 1814 so larp all u want but that was just the brits 2. unless canada is actually going to burn down the white house in 2026 (spoiler alert they arent) this reddit *** chest beating is just pathetic

Scaduts (@scaduts) reported@UnitedChargers @swtchenergy It is interesting watching you spiral, once again intrigued by how you conduct business and speak to customers, but I've also seen the rants on reddit too. Altho the grammatical errors make me wonder if this account is run by an overseas employee. Interesting.

Michael Keenan (@CitizenMichael1) reported@dezzie_rezzie Short of failing I came across an Covid article on Medium the middle of January and it had a high level sounding person with an inside government diplomatic view of events that got taken down immediately by Medium. It got discussed on Reddit if memory serves me.

Eldritch Horror (@zombiemakeover) reported@Not_Me_Not_Ever There one of the big STALKER mods had an issue where for some people emissions wouldn't trigger. One guy found out that it was a specific mission causeing the issue and posted a console command to complete the mission, then later deleted the fix over reddit changing its policies.

anna mcr minneapolis (@thsstchisacurse) reportedbtw no one wears diapers bc it doesn’t make sense to even need to do that. not saying yall can’t call out actual real problems ofc but this rumor came from a misogynistic weirdo on reddit pretending to be a crew member
-
Hayden (@Furtherthanthat) reported@EricDJuly Yeah it's such a nothingburger that they sent PIs to someone's house because of a reddit post. It's so inconsequential that they sent in a subpoena to Microsoft to be able to review private chats to try and track down the hacker.

A_T ◣ ◢ (@TC_Cortina) reportedMight’ve been my terrible wording but you & everyone else in the replies have missed the point really badly. I was poking fun at the morons who call anything they don’t like “Reddit”.

Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD (@malpani) reportedEveryone blames doctor ego. Wrong. Most doctors don't fear informed patients, they fear ones who mistake a Reddit thread for a medical degree. Confidence isn't the problem, confidence without competence is. Where's the line for you? @Grok

Frank (@frank_) reportedTL;DR: i replaced fitness apps with chat. it works so well it makes me think about the future of software. every couple months i change fitness apps. i tell myself: i’m looking for the right workout. the truth: i’m an interface absolutist. it’s not that existing apps aren’t good. it’s that even the great ones ask me to manage them. to tap, choose, log, configure. and what i want isn’t a better app. what i want is to not have to think about it. that’s a good interface. recently prompted, as one is these days, by an instagram video, i went down the calisthenics rabbit hole, and boy was it deep. i ended up on a reddit board with a protocol vetted by the collective for preparing your body for calisthenics. my first instinct was to build a system. a table. a database. a notebook. i downloaded a bunch of calisthenics apps. for a moment, i even thought about building my own. but by the time i noticed myself thinking about the implications of becoming an athletics-app founder, i remembered that the point was the workout, not the stuff around it. so i gave it all to chat. started a project, gave it the reddit link, and spent a couple turns refining a system that could, essentially, run itself. now, for the past two weeks, here i am at 7am, phone in hand, thumbing away like i’m locked in the world’s longest text message in between pull-ups and holds. the good parts. i don’t think about the workout. i change exercises by asking. if i feel like doing an extra core routine, it generates one on the spot and logs it. last week i texted it a photo of the equipment, and it rebuilt a portion of the session around what was actually there. but it’s also been interesting to sit with the paper cuts. for one, what’s the damn workout? it’s gone many turns past. i type “done” 50 to 100 times per workout session to have it move. every time there’s a hold, i have to switch to the clock app for the timer and when i come back the app greets me with an empty, new chat. just to name a few. but the solution to these nits is infinitely easy. just replace the input with a timer during holds, turn it into a done button otherwise, and even let me just shake the phone to mark as done, as one does to undo words in a text message. some of these patterns already exist in apps like codex. the sort of just-in-time class of interfaces that let agents ask us questions or plan work. this then sends me into a philosophical thought experiment about the nature of apps, the nature of chat, and of software itself. do point-and-tap apps still make sense? should they all become chats? or does this mean chat eats all software? does that then mean that a handful of labs swallow everything. or is this like saying the operating system ate all apps, when what operating systems actually did was birth them. maybe chat is tomorrow’s new OS and agents, the apps of that OS. and the question isn’t whether a handful of labs swallow everything, but how interfaces evolve with this new base material. i digress. plank hold...

strange puppy (@rpgdropsdaily) reportedi used to run a minecraft server when i was around ~15 for a small group of people. i didn't really know any of them personally, but people were gradually added over time, either by happenstance, mutual friends, or just them replying to a tiny reddit thread i posted

Ken S (@ExpandOutward) reported@aburk203 @SirBylHolte I have no idea why Grok references platforms like Reddit and Wikipedia. They need to fix that ASAP. Regardless, if you argue with Grok you can usually get it to cave. When I get responses that I know are wrong I just break down the context and ask a lot of questions. It almost always admits that is was wrong.
