we spent the last four years reimagining what finance can be, unburdened by what has been. runway makes clear the significance of the passage of time in the context of all in which your business lives and what came before you. this is the result 👇

not a single person on this list was born a billionaire the world that i want to build, live and vote for is a where this will continue to be true every generation, except the numbers keep getting larger

Elon Musk is an engineer. Jeff Bezos is an engineer. Larry Elison is an engineer. Larry Page is an engineer. Sergey Brin is an engineer. Jensen Huang is an engineer. Turns out capitalism does reward skills and intelligence, and the richest people are indeed engineers.

Today feels like a good day to reshare this clip of Ariane Aerospace’s CEO calling SpaceX’s reusability plans “a dream”

Next time you think of giving up, remember this photo of Elon in 2008.

Today’s flood of Western media hit pieces and ridiculous commentary on Elon and SpaceX is yet another sign that the West is rotting from the inside. EVEN the Chinese Communists treat their national champions with more respect than these pathetic hacks. The CCP and its state mouthpieces aren’t half as deranged with envy. They may leash guys like Jack Ma and slap them down hard when they step out of line, but at least they’re smart enough to understand that they need their best talent and innovators to deliver prosperity for their people, dominate global markets, project raw power across the planet, and forge their nation into a ruthless superpower. The Chinese see them as vital strategic national assets and would never publicly insult or attack the ambitious, high-achieving mindset that creates these winners in the first place. SpaceX is, without a doubt, America’s national champion. Elon built the first reusable orbital rockets (Falcon 9), slashed launch costs, launched more missions in a single year than entire nations, revived American space dominance, sent NASA astronauts to the ISS aboard Crew Dragon, built the Starlink constellation that now beams high-speed internet to millions across the globe (including battlefields and disaster zones), and is developing Starship - the most powerful fully reusable rocket ever built, designed to make humanity an inter-planetary species. Yet the Western press and Democratic officials are almost unanimously attacking the one man going above and beyond to secure prosperity, technological supremacy, and raw national strength for our civilization. These people are vile soul-sucking wreckers who despise all excellence. The only thing they can produce is endless grievance and failure. All they know to do is tear down the successful, insult greatness, and wallow in their own mediocrity.

I am filled with optimism at the fact that the world's first trillionaire was made not by hedge funds or market manipulation, but by building the infrastructure to take America to the stars.

fable is expensive wrote a quick arbitrage skill for claude code to offload the hard things to fable and everything else to gpt 5.5 xhigh it will try to be always on or you could say "implement with arbitrage" github.com/blader/arbitrage

yup

every hour i spend with fable, i become more impressed which is not the usual experience i have with a model

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware. Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner. Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky. When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit. We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted. In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation. H/T to colleagues that shared this with me socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hu…

prediction: fable is going to be massively hyped and simultaneously massively underrated over the next few weeks

so far fable feels to me like the first real non-incremental step change in capability we've seen since opus 4.5 / gpt 5.2, a little over six months ago anthropic absolutely COOKED with this one a little sad for openai - i'm sure 5.6 is going to be good, but not this good

i've been pretty clear on how much better gpt 5.5 is over opus 4.8 to the extent i've been called a paid shill i just like to call it like it is so far with fable - it's hard to see how anthropic doesn't run away with it right now unless gpt 6 ships next month or something
