AI medicine is inevitable.

In fact, it has arrived.

We're excited about this agreement with Utah to allow our AI to prescribe psychiatric renewals.

Yes. AI prescribing medication.

This is monumental and will collapse the cost of care.

I asked Grok to explain why the SAVE act is blocked by a zombie filibuster

Buckle up:

This would be hilarious if it weren't so stupid

> SAVE act itself has 53/47 majority support
> can't be passed because the 47 can **just silently object** indefinitely, so the bill would need 60 votes to pass
> this is the "zombie filibuster" - literally no effort needed
> ..wait so can't they just end the zombie filibuster so that bills can pass with a simple majority?
> yes, yes they could
> that would only take 51 votes to change procedure
> ..so they could do it right now?
> yes
> ..so why don't they?
> they don't want to because then it might be used against them next time the senate flips

What in the actual f* ?!

So an absolutely essential voter security bill with 85% public support, is blocked by a few Republicans who don't want to change procedure because they're anticipating losing in a few months, and a few Democrats who will vote as a block against any Republican measure no matter how bipartisan it is.

I love America, and am disgusted with our politicians.

Democrats don't want to allow electoral security to pass, and Republicans just like losing.Image Image

This is actually absurd:

> California has a $18b budget deficit

> uses federal funding (your taxpayer dollars) to float the difference

> yet also on track to spend $12b on MediCal for ILLEGAL immigrants in 2026

The problem isn't tax revenue, it's fraud and giving free things to illegal immigrants

Your taxpayer dollars, even if you don't live in California, are being used to subsidize free healthcare for illegal immigrants

And yet, politicians like Ro Khanna want to put *more* taxes on CA residents. Insane.

Something tells me this is just the tip of the iceberg of faud, mismanagement, and incentives to cheat.

this is shocking:

> US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud

> if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected

> this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax

we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraudImage we’ve become a tax farm, and income tax is our product

Wikipedia: "conspiracy theorists claim COVID-19 leaked from a lab"

Grokipedia: "experts are split, here are the sources for the house report on the lab leak and the scientific sentiment studies"

Wow! I'm genuinely incredibly impressed.

I will literally never use Wikipedia again. Grokipedia is clearly much more factual and unbiased, and easier to read source documents.

This is only v0.1!

Elon / xAI really cooked with this one. This will fundamentally reshape the way humans consume knowledgeImage
