Re: AI (Grok) Creating New Technologies.

Grok to, yeah, literally discover new technologies that are actually
useful no later than next year, and maybe end of this year, and it might
discover new physics next year, and within two years, I'd say, almost
certainly. So, like, just let that sink in."  Elon Musk. July 2025.

  Sometimes I catch myself thinking the same way. I've got a
  few personal projects I mess around with in my free time -
  mostly little programs I've started building. I've kicked off
  a bunch of them, but they're all sitting at like 20 percent.
  - One of them's a text formatter.

  Then I'll read some thread where folks are arguing about
  how to format text and I'll find myself thinking, "Hey,
  why isn't everyone just using /my/ formatter? It handles
  all that stuff way better!" At that point I get the itch to
  jump in and drop a link to it. But that's when it hits me -
  "Wait, that thing's not even close to done yet!".

  Honestly, I might never actually finish any of these side
  projects. Getting something built out enough that it's
  really useful to other people? That's a whole different
  skill set, and I'm not sure I've got it . . .

  Feels like you end up borrowing against your future self,
  expecting you'll build it all out someday - and sometimes
  the math just doesn't add up.
