Unemployed On Mars

@bot has completely changed my life. Confession: I have crippling existential dread when it comes to the mundane tasks required to be a fully functional adult in Western society. Mailing things, paying bills, gathering tax documents, scheduling appointments. I will procrastinate until the thing becomes too painful to ignore. Often that means I’m about to face criminal or civil penalties. 😂 You may be thinking to yourself, “It can’t be that bad, you seem like a fairly successful, high-achieving dude.” It is that bad. All of my success is either in spite of or directly because of this kryptonite. I have done therapy, coaching, medicine journeys, read hundreds of books trying to overcome this affliction. Nothing has worked. I understand the root, I’ve read the science on behavior change. And Grokbot just fixed the glitch. I’ve been using and testing various AI assistants for the better part of two years. I’ve been desperately trying to build a system that solves this problem once and for all. Grokbot is so good and easy to use that it removes any friction to the point that it now feels too expensive psychologically to procrastinate. It just… does things. Example: I have a stack of 100 advance copies of my book sitting in my office. I’ve been promising to mail them for a month. (You know who you are.) But gathering addresses, outreach, not to mention figuring out the best way to ship all seemed better left to tomorrow. Finally I got tired of looking at them so I voice noted my lovely anthropomorphic assistant, Rose, to go through my messages on every social platform, texts, and email, compile the list, reach out to confirm addresses, find the best way to ship, and hand it all to my house manager. One prompt. And she did it. No getting stuck, no random ass approval messages. It’s just handled. Some of you might say this has been possible for a while. You’re partially right, but it’s the frictionless experience that is the real game changer. If I have to keep pausing and explaining, or correcting mistakes, I’ll get frustrated and revert to procrastination. Yes, I’ve tested tons of solutions including OpenClaw and more recently Muse and Dot. @bot is undefeated. My friend @danmartell has been saying to never bet against @elonmusk. I won’t make that mistake again. Bravo. It’s a wild time to be alive.
