mpressed me. So if you can get your robot to do two-handed coordination, the time between now and the time that you will have a full robot tennis partner, literally a tennis partner, a robot who can serve and hit the ball back, is probably five years. Yeah, it might have more to do with battery life and a little mechanical stuff to make sure the robot doesn't fall over. But they're pretty much t…

But it's very expensive to drill a two-mile deep hole or three miles. However, it turns out that at least one company, Fervo Energy, it's a Texas startup or upstart, I don't know, maybe it's been around a while, but they're using fracking. So the analogy was made that in the oil business when the idea of fracking first came up everybody said that'll never work, you crazy bastard with your fracking, get out of here. But apparently there was one entrepreneur who made fracking practical and then once it was practical everybody had to run and get some.
But the same thing's happening with geothermal. There's a fracking-like technology that's being employed that if it works could be a complete game changer for thermal energy. And unlike oil where you have to be in a certain place to get it, you could put a hole in the ground in a lot more places. So a hole in the ground as your energy source, it's just the cost of the hole. And they may be on the verge of having this enormous economic breakthrough in building a hole and using fracking to, in some way, anyway.
There's a company called Bots Inc. And what do they do? They make bots, I guess. Blockchain and robotics technology. So the robotics and blockchain, I don't know what the blockchain has to do with the robotics, but they announced that they're going to use Grok as their president. So rather than having a human president, they're going to use AI. And they chose Grok.
Now do you know what the hidden secret story behind this story is? I'm pretty sure I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the company that had one time announced that they were going to build their robots or their AI and the robot was going to

be based on my personality. Like literally they named me because I had said publicly anybody who wants to use my personality for AI, it'd be a good idea and you have full rights. So they had actually planned to do that and they were going to make their robot basically my personality. Now after I got cancelled I'm pretty sure they changed those plans because they don't talk about that anymore. And…
