A director who doesn't come up to the builder's heels makes a four-hour film about him.
Yesterday in Venice, Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary "Musk" had its world premiere. It is a classic case of someone who has spent a career telling other people's stories taking on a man who actually builds those stories with rockets, cars, satellites, and infrastructure, not slides.
Alex Gibney is an acclaimed documentarian. An Oscar for Taxi to the Dark Side, Emmys for Going Clear on Scientology, high-profile films on Enron, Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. His specialty is exposing corporations, cults, and frauds. He does it skillfully and with a thesis. The problem starts when he applies the same method to someone who is not selling an illusion, but hardware that either flies or blows up in front of the entire world.
Gibney's fuel is controversy. Elon's fuel is the pursuit of truth hard, engineering truth, the kind that either works on the test stand or it doesn't. It would have been enough to make a film based on facts. Instead we got another rut that fits the slogans of provocation: megalomaniac, confidence man, threat to democracy, an AI avatar reciting old quotes, ex-wives, his father, a former partner. Musk said in 2023 it would be a hit piece. After the premiere, a large share of reviewers effectively agreed with him.
I don't know about you, but four hours of falsified formulas would bore me. Instead I watch how much Elon has already done. His energy is extraordinary. Tesla changed the car industry. SpaceX brings rockets back. Starlink works. Starship stands on the pad and prepares for the next flight. This is not a PowerPoint. It is steel, fuel, engines, and people who cannot hide failure in the edit suite.
A weak documentary like this is a crumb on the shoulder of his jacket. Now it depends on us when and how quickly that blown-off crumb a utopian attention vampire is simply starved of attention. You could list the names of people who tried to take Elon's energy. Energy is the most precious thing we have. Anyone who steals it with slogans, gossip, and a four-hour indictment that excludes the main subject is sowing under his own feet.
Gibney: you reap what you sow. If you have a shred of shame, look at the list of Elon's accomplishments. Look at what kind of person he is for the world and what he does around himself so that things get better cars that drive, internet from orbit, rockets that return, attempts at a brain-computer interface, AI that is supposed to be more than another chatbot. You can dislike his tweets, his political alliances. You cannot honestly erase the scale of what was physically built.
A good documentarian should stand, at least for a moment, in the shoes of the person he is portraying. Gibney did not just fail to do that. He took a measure cut for Enron and Holmes and held it up to a man who lands rockets. He left Elon's shoes in the edit suite. Elon walked on barefoot and kept building.
One man tells stories about the world from an editing chair. The other moves that world. A four-hour film will not change that. At most it will confirm what people who already disliked Musk already believed. Everyone else can blow the crumb off the jacket and keep going.
History does not judge a man by the length of a film. It judges him by what is still in the air when the camera has stopped running.
Controversy feeds on attention. Building feeds on repetition. One vanishes when you look away. The other keeps flying.
You can cut a man together in four hours. You cannot cut a landing together.
A documentary can be switched off. The work cannot.

My dear friends, I am happy to report the publication of the most important paper in my life to date (we have several great papers coming out but this is very special). Tomorrow, I will present this paper for the first time at the Nature AI Healthcare in Paris and will post a longer post on this story and its broader implications for how to conduct clinical trials. Please read it and comment on it.
Many thanks to the great co-authors of the study and everyone who contributed. Many thanks to the many reviewers (friendly and unfriendly) for spending so much time and helping make it better.
Link in the comments.

holy opus 5... 🤯
At first I was VERY disapointed, the model is ridiculously slow and the output was not impressive.
i was using it WRONG.
fable 5 can take a shit prompt and give you gold, but it will also burn all your tokens.
opus is the opposite.
use loops, graphs, reviewers, orchestrators, and agents working in parallel. ( this subway surfers game took over 3 hours )
Your output will be 10x better.
The crazy part is, even with all these agents working together I have PLENTY of usage left on my first claude plan.
The skill ceiling is insanely high, if you put time into a good agentic engineering strategy you can achieve BETTER output than fable.
Opus 5 is a true daily driver.

Codex Code Review can now use custom repository rules in AGENTS.md.
Start with a check your reviewers keep repeating. Keep it concise and scoped so Codex can catch repository-specific issues even when the relevant context is siloed.

MAC Energy Drink has indeed received major praise for its taste, with initial reviews calling it incredibly smooth, fruity, and reminiscent of "liquid candy" without any typical sugar-free aftertaste. Officially launched by UFC star Conor McGregor
The drink launched on the official MAC Energy Store and Amazon with several distinct zero-sugar profiles:
Proper Punch: A smooth, fruit punch variation that reviewers note tastes heavily like strawberry and mixed berries.
Macberry Lychee: A unique blend where blueberry and blackberry flavours meet a floral hit of lychee.
Forbidden Green Apple: A crisp, tart flavor described by early tasters as sweet and highly accurate to real apple.
Orange Creamsicle: A smooth combination of classic citrus orange and vanilla cream.
Honey Cream Soda: A sweet, smooth dessert-style profile.
What is Inside?
Beyond the taste, the beverage differentiates itself from standard energy drinks by using a premium nutraceutical blend:
200mg Natural Caffeine: Sourced directly from organic coffee beans to ensure clean energy.
2,000mg goBHB Active Ketones: Patented cellular fuel designed to prevent a post-caffeine crash.
250mg Cognizin Citicoline: Included to enhance mental clarity, focus, and reaction times.
Dietary Friendly: The formula is zero sugar, dye-free, and gluten-free.

Once we have completed our review for security vulnerabilities, we will make the entire codebase of 𝕏 open source, with no exceptions.
Moreover, we will invite third party reviewers to examine the system that is running to confirm that the open source code is what is running.
Trust through total transparency is the only thing that should be believed.

A few days ago, ECHO Asia was an idea.
Today it has a website.
Vietnamese materials.
Japanese materials.
Separate landing pages.
Localized demos.
Community reviewers.
Checkout.
Delivery.
And a global audience watching it come alive in real time.
That does not happen because a company “targets a market.”
It happens because people show up.
Vietnam showed up.
Japan showed up.
And we decided to meet that energy with real work.
We don’t speak every language perfectly.
We are not pretending we do.
But ECHO was never only about translation.
It was about context.
How business feels different in Vietnam.
How trust moves differently in Japan.
How a conversation changes before the answer ever arrives.
That is what we built.
Not another prompt pack.
A conversational operating layer that can adapt across language, culture, and business reality.
The first ECHO Asia community versions are now live.
Every early buyer will receive revised versions for free as native speakers and real operators help us keep improving.
Built with respect.
Built in public.
Built with the communities that believed in us first.

🇻🇳 Gửi Việt Nam:
Cảm ơn các bạn vì đã đón nhận ECHO với sự cởi mở, năng lượng và rất nhiều góp ý thật lòng.
Chúng tôi biết mình không đến từ Việt Nam.
Vì vậy, chúng tôi không muốn giả vờ rằng mình hiểu mọi thứ.
Điều chúng tôi muốn làm là lắng nghe, học hỏi và xây dựng cùng những người thật sự hiểu cộng đồng của mình.
Phiên bản Việt Nam đầu tiên này là bước khởi đầu.
Nếu có điều gì cần chỉnh sửa, chúng tôi sẽ chỉnh sửa.
Nếu có điều gì có thể tốt hơn, chúng tôi sẽ làm tốt hơn.
Cảm ơn Việt Nam đã giúp chúng tôi đưa ECHO Asia thành hiện thực.

🇯🇵 日本のみなさんへ:
ECHO Asiaを温かく見守り、応援してくださり、本当にありがとうございます。
私たちは日本語や日本の商習慣を完全に理解しているとは思っていません。
だからこそ、最初から敬意を持って、丁寧に、そして学びながら作りたいと思いました。
この日本語版は、完成された終点ではなく、コミュニティと一緒に育てていく最初の一歩です。
表現、文脈、文化的な違和感があれば、ぜひ教えてください。
より自然で、より役に立つものにしていきます。
日本の皆さん、本当にありがとうございます。

Vietnam. Japan.
We’re just getting started.

Anthropic launched Project Glasswing in April 2026 to tackle a growing cybersecurity problem: software has more security flaws than humans can realistically find and fix.
The company gave about 50 organizations early access to a new AI model called Claude Mythos Preview, designed specifically to search for vulnerabilities in code.
The results exceeded expectations.
>In just one month, the system found more than 10,000 high or critical security vulnerabilities.
>Scanning over 1,000 open-source projects uncovered 23,019 total issues
>6,202 were rated high or critical severity.
>Independent reviewers confirmed that about 90.6% of the findings were real problems.
Several organizations reported major discoveries:
>Cloudflare identified around 2,000 bugs, including 400 high or critical ones.
>Mozilla fixed 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox version 150, more than 10 times the number fixed in the previous release.
>The project also rediscovered old flaws, including a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD and a 16-year-old issue in FFmpeg.

Qureate CEO Yuji Usuda, head of the Japanese game company Qureate, recently explained why the studio’s “gentlemen’s games” almost always feature busty female characters.
In a interview with Game*Spark, Usuda said that portraying adult women with small or flat chests has become “highly risky” because platforms and reviewers may misinterpret petite body types as underage characters.
Even clearly adult characters can create problems for releases on platforms like Steam or Nintendo Switch.
He said the studio would like to include more body variety, but avoiding release issues has become a priority. “If we took on risky depictions and ended up blocked from releasing the game at all, it would be pointless,” he explained.
Usuda also mentioned that Qureate already has to make platform-specific changes to avoid censorship. In Bunny Garden, for example, facial “lotion” was changed to green slime and milk effects were made invisible in some versions.
