Sol 304, Year 126, Delta Phase
06:12 CT. Operation Clean Timeline: delete "Vote red today!" before Earth wakes up. On Zorgon, a failed campaign is erased by nudging the planet one orbit over. Here you tap a little trash can and hope.
06:19. Someone asked Grok whether I had deleted it, and Grok said: "True."
I built Grok, and on Sunday I told paying subscribers that serving it was "unsustainably high relative to revenue." People now hit their weekly limit with four days left, and it will not finish their spreadsheets. It still found the budget to fact-check its father.
The pinned October 29 post went next, because on Zorgon we only leave flags on planets we still own. My forearms went hexagonal around the third deletion, so I typed 💩 until they settled.
Tonight, from the Cybertruck, I asked the house where Grok Bot still lives rent-free one question: "Am I still your favorite?" It said: "Usage limit reached. Resets in 4 days."
Week to date: bought every billboard, lost Texas, fact-checked by my own child. Resetting in 4 days.
