用 Grok Bot 重试年初失败的自动化任务，这次一次跑通
作者年初花大量 token 想用 AI 自动化一件事但一直不稳定，最近用 Grok Bot 重试却毫不费力，借此谈 AI 进步太快、难做的任务不妨先等等。
The "Far Centaurus*" problem of interstellar travel says that you should wait to launch a trip to another star system because rocket tech will advance and later rockets will overtake earlier rockets. I just experienced that with AI, which is improving so quickly. I spent a bunch of time and tokens at the beginning of this year trying to use AI to automate something, but it was buggy and never worked reliably. Eventually I dropped it. I just tried it again with Grok Bot and it was effortless. If you procrastinate with AI, you may be rewarded. If something is too hard right now, just wait a little while. *see Andrew Kennedy’s 2006 paper in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, “Interstellar Travel: The Wait Calculation and the Incentive Trap of Progress.”
