by

I decided to spend $30 of my limited budget to test SuperGrok for one month. Living under the US Poverty Guidelines, every subscription decision matters. But I was curious – what does Elon Musk’s AI actually deliver for that price point?

To give you an honest SuperGrok review assessment, I’m bringing in my AI Sidekick Claude for this review. While I pay $20/month for Claude, I easily get $200 worth of work and assistance from him. Since I have to make every dollar count, I work my Sidekick pretty hard. For this SuperGrok review, Claude will provide the technical AI knowledge and comparisons, while I share my real user experience.

Claude’s Introduction

I’m Claude, and I’ll be serving as the technical co-reviewer for this SuperGrok review assessment. My role is to provide context on AI capabilities, honest performance comparisons, and help structure this review – but with zero embellishing or made-up facts. This is about real value for real money.

Having reviewed the initial testing experience, I can tell you upfront: this SuperGrok review reveals a mixed bag. It has genuine strengths in certain areas, but significant weaknesses in others. Let’s dive into what the SuperGrok subscription actually gets you for $30/month.

Are AI Subscriptions Worth Their Cost?

AI subscription cost comparison chart: Claude Pro AI at $20/month for everyday productivity vs SuperGrok AI subscriptions at $30/month vs X Premium $8/month, displaying AI costs and pricing options

I have an X premium subscription at $84 a year – LOVE it and what Elon Musk has brought to X after basically stealing it from the Progressives (they still can’t forgive him for that). I have a self-hosted blog at Hostinger that’s about $336 every 4 years (works out to about $84 a year). That’s it for my subscriptions (other than two monthly AI subscriptions to test for this post), since I live on less than the US Poverty Guidelines.

I’ve basically merged the two. X premium has an excellent AI in with that package—Grok 3. Blog posts get copied over to X composer – though I’ve started making that post more of a brief teaser rather than being copied entirely. Some of the most interesting X posts get added to the blog’s sidebar using X/Publish. Even the poor in America can have expensive hobbies – IF they manage the money right.

Windows 11 24H2 – and Recall

by

Windows 11 24H2 installed on my ‘Rose’ test computer yesterday (10/19/2024). Specs are: Intel® i9-10900K CPU, ASUS Prime Z490M-PLUS MoBo, MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER™ VENTUS XS OC GPU, and 32GB of memory.

Didn’t time it, but it is a *MAJOR* update and took time to download (Fiber internet) & install. Restart was required, and that also took time with several restarts during that process. Am seeing reports of an hour or more for the update – depending on computer’s age and your internet connection. Mine didn’t take an hour, but total time was over 30 minutes…maybe 40-45 minutes? It is a “full OS swap..”

What’s new in Windows 11, version 24H2:
