Bradford G Smith (Brad) (@ALScyborg)

I use Grok Bot. Neuralink patient 3. ALS. Full quad. Nonverbal. I type with intention, not hands. Grok Bot is how a lot of that intention leaves the house. Paste a YouTube link and it watches enough to know who is in it, drafts two longer promo posts — X and Facebook — in my voice. No hashtags. X gets verified @ tags later in the body, never leading. Facebook names people in plain text. It shows both drafts and waits. I say yes. It posts X as @ALScyborg from a signed-in session. Facebook goes on my Mac clipboard when that path is blocked. I still approve every public post. Judgment stays mine. It also owns the Tuesday Holy War day-count. Days since Utah last beat BYU. Trash talk. Tags. Sometimes an image. Auto-post at 5:21pm Phoenix time. If X is down or suspended, it tells me and pauses. No silent failures. This is not “AI wrote a cute caption.” This is an assistant that drafts, waits, posts, retries Unsent drafts when the Post button hangs, and keeps a standing ritual alive while I am busy living. The bottleneck used to be hands. Now it is judgment — and I still own that. If you are waiting for permission to let software carry weight, the weight is already moving.
