Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for X for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: Wide 16:9 mid-1980s murder-mystery movie poster of a broad three-story Victorian mansion in stark black-and-white pen-and-ink engraving on pure black, with six to eight warm amber windows showing costumed suspects in theatrical evening wear (a smug thought-leader holding a glowing smartphone mid-tweet, an anonymous poster in a cartoon-bird mask, a journalist with notebook and screenshots) plus still-life windows crowded with phone screens, floating speech bubbles, blue checkmarks pinned like evidence, a tipped coffee cup, and one window with a lone silhouetted bird behind the glass; a slim upright silver-haired butler in black tailcoat and white gloves stands in the open center door holding a silver tray with a sealed envelope marked by a tiny speech-bubble wax seal, fat rounded extra-heavy white sans-serif title Twitter arching above the roofline, campy spooky theatrical lighting, high-contrast crosshatching, symmetrical frontal composition.

Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
- Grok Bot goes broad: Cursor's Michael Truell said Grok Bot is now open to anyone with a standard Grok or Cursor subscription and has grown faster than any product they have seen. One user, Andrew Zhai, described using it as a personal assistant for counting calories, planning trips, and handling email.
- SpaceX and Nvidia hardware: Nvidia said SpaceX is deploying its Vera CPU to speed up orchestration and code execution for agentic AI. Elon Musk added that SpaceX and Nvidia have designed a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system aimed at orbit launch in Q4 next year.
- Compute economics: Dwarkesh Patel argued that a data center's entire capex could be paid off by leasing it out for roughly a year in the SpaceX-Google deal. He also said OpenAI and Anthropic can turn $15b per GW of compute into $50b+ of revenue.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Annoying side effect of all the AI bots on the site is that they are all “well-read” and therefore reply cogently my niche reference tweets that would normally attract a small but interested group now get LLM replies. Its like you can’t tell Ephraimites from Gileadites anymore.”

You can use Grok Bot for more personal use-cases too! I use grok bot to: – count calories of meals – plan my upcoming trips (hotels + flights) – buy fruit from bay area local farms – organize and respond to emails It’s been fun to have a personal assistant!”

Could AI investment start a global sovereign debt crisis? If you look at the SpaceX-Google deal, it is already the case that the entire capex for the data center can be paid off by leasing it out for roughly 1 year. As we get closer to AGI, the returns on compute will be”

OpenAI and Anthropic can take compute which costs them $15b a GW, and turn it into $50b+ of revenue. In order to get the credit to build their datacenters, most neoclouds have already signed long term contracts to supply compute at these $15b/GW rates. However, Meta and SpaceX,”
