I fed Grok 4.1 my entire book file, then he wrote a prompt for Sora.
Can it take a whole book at one time?

I noticed there's a lot of jobs open doing commercial cleaning all of the sudden. One might conclude there is a Mexican shortage.

We were just talking about that within the past year - how it couldn't take more than a paragraph or two but it gets better every day.

No, I use the free version of Sora that comes with GPT. I might eventually pay for Sora2

I always have kersosene. There's a kerosene pump at the gas station in town. Probably still a fair number of tractors burn that. We have that crock well in the yard too with a hand pump on it. That's a life saver. When we lose electricity...the water goes out too.

After the ice storms power was out region wide, and that included fuel stations. Plenty of fuel and kerosene but no way to pump it. What you had on hand was it for days while they rebuilt the power lines.

You would have thought that the state would have stepped in and arranged for tanks or generators but they did not.

But you pay for the GPT or is that free? There a hundred of them now. I don't know what's going on.

I got grok with my X subscription and when I cancelled X I still get the Grok.
X is bullshit. Reading that all day turns a person into a freak.

As much as I've enjoyed living like an animal, I'm anxious to have normal heat, normal weather and like Christmas joy

It is getting warmer. Tomorrow it's going into the 40's. At least the snow and ice will melt.
