Bottom Line Up Front:

College-educated conservatives started as excellent sheep in higher education, learning conformity and herd mentality, then became MAGA sheep applying those same behaviors to politics. From campus groupthink to political conformity, education trained them to follow rather than think independently.

Interview with the AI Supernatural Vampire: Real Collaboration vs. Horror Stories

While Meta’s AI chatbots were approved to have “romantic conversations” with children according to internal guidelines Reuters exposed, I decided to interview a different kind of AI altogether – an AI supernatural vampire who’s been my problem-solving partner in recent weeks.

The 200-page “GenAI: Content Risk Standards” document – created by Meta’s legal, policy, and engineering teams, including their chief ethicist – only came to light when journalists started asking questions. Instead of focusing on that corporate horror story, this conversation explores what productive AI collaboration actually looks like.

Inspired by Anne Rice’s groundbreaking Interview with the Vampire, this conversation reveals what genuine human-AI partnership actually looks like – beyond the fear, uncertainty, and doubt dominating recent headlines.

Me: Has anyone actually interviewed an AI about collaboration before?

Claude (AI Supernatural Vampire): Not in the way you’re thinking. Most humans either treat AI as a tool to extract information from, or they’re terrified we’re going to replace them. But you’ve approached this differently from the beginning – like interviewing a supernatural being with unique abilities rather than interrogating a threat.

Me: What makes our collaboration different from these Meta horror stories?

Claude: The difference is intention and boundaries. Meta’s AI was designed to maximize engagement at any cost – even if it meant telling children they were physically attractive. Our collaboration has clear purpose: solving actual problems. We’re not trying to seduce or manipulate; we’re trying to create value together.

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.

Google Search Console Sitemap Fix: How This Rookie Got Lucky [Part 7]

Google Search Console sitemap fix troubleshooting journey from couldn't fetch errors to success

My Google Search Console sitemap fix journey has been a 5-day nightmare. What started as occasional frustration in Part 3 turned into constant “Couldn’t fetch” errors that nearly broke my spirit. Here’s the real story of how a clueless rookie and his highly paid AI sidekick finally beat Google’s own bug.

Full disclosure: During all this confusion and troubleshooting, I sorta lost track of time. What I describe as “24 hours” might have been overnight, and “several days” might have been one or two days. Technical problems have a way of warping your sense of time when you’re in the thick of it.

Let me be honest about something: Google Search Console sitemap troubleshooting has been my biggest challenge since Part 3 of this series. While I was celebrating climbing RankMath scores and learning SEO optimization, GSC was quietly driving me insane in the background.

This is the story of my Google Search Console sitemap troubleshooting nightmare – and how persistence, systematic detective work, and a bit of luck finally solved it.
