Mentioned in the show
Tw93 does not appear in the episode quoted on this page. In Weekly #003’s chapter on always-on agents and multi-platform content distribution, Xiangyang Qiaomu says he met Tw93 in Hangzhou a few days earlier and relays his usage: he has Grok Bot run multi-platform marketing for the Mole cleanup software — a dedicated computer regularly visits small forums in Europe and the US, Grok judges each forum’s tone (some prefer indie-developer stories, others knowledge sharing) and picks “slacking-off” hours to post, and Tw93 only needs to supply the content. See the line in the Chinese transcript. This is Xiangyang Qiaomu’s relayed account, not a statement by Tw93 himself.
