Grok produced a lengthy report (available upon request), so I asked Grok to summarize it.

Ja, that is getting close, but what I still don’t see is an objective way to measure whether these advances occurred in 2026 but did not occur prior to yesterday.  The meme betting market has trained me to think of how memes can be adjudicated where everyone will agree on who gets paid.  The wording of the meme is critically important.  No vague terms.  Everything must be carefully defined.

 

BillK, do query Grok 4.1 pls, as you appear to be our resident expert in how to get useful answers out of AI, a skill which I suck.  I am getting better.
