It feels like Raspberry Pi all over again with Grok Bot. 80-90% of most people’s usage would be better offloaded to a $2/mo VM running a few python scripts on recurring cron jobs. But it’s cheap(ish) and exponentially more easy to have AI do it. If you want to blink an LED, all you need is 1 capacitor, 1 resistor, and 1 transistor. Maybe you want to get fancy and throw 500,000 transistors (CPU & Ram) at it with a microcontroller (Arduino, etc). But that feels difficult to most people. So… You can get a raspberry pi to do it. 30,000,000,000 transistors. It’s a full computer running an OS that feels familiar, so now it’s really easy to blink that LED. The Pi feels like such a waste for a lot of projects when you know how to accomplish it with way less. But the Pi makes its much easier, and that means way more people get into them.
