do you understand what happened to Claude..
for years it lived in ChatGPT's shadow. now it's launching a Mythos-class model called Claude Fable 5 that could completely rewrite the story.
Back when Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, most people had one answer for AI: ChatGPT. Claude was the "other chatbot."
People mocked it for being too cautious. Too restrictive. Too scared to take risks.
Then Anthropic kept shipping.
Claude 2. Claude 3. Opus. Sonnet. Haiku.
Each release got faster, smarter, and cheaper. While everyone was arguing online, Claude quietly became one of the strongest AI systems on the planet.
Now Claude Fable 5 is being introduced as the first generally available Mythos-class model. Anthropic says its capabilities exceed anything they've previously released to the public.
The Mythos-class architecture isn't just faster or bigger — it's designed for sustained, complex, multi-day agentic work.

→ Forces every major AI company to respond immediately
The wild part isn't that Claude got better.
It's that the AI everyone laughed at might become the company everyone is chasing.
HOLLYWOOD SPENT BILLIONS AVOIDING HORROR'S HARDEST PROBLEM. TWO KIDS SOLVED IT AND WALKED AWAY WITH THE BOX OFFICE.
For years, Hollywood treated atmospheric horror like a radioactive substance. Studios preferred horror with obvious villains and predictable scares.
Then two young directors arrived and proved that audiences wanted the exact opposite.
One made people terrified of an obsessive girlfriend.
The other made people terrified of an empty office building.
Together, Curry Barker (Obsession) and Kane Parsons (The Backrooms) accidentally taught Hollywood a masterclass in modern horror.
Before Hollywood knew his name, Curry Barker was making comedy sketches, short films, and horror videos on YouTube with his friends.
Barker became obsessed with psychological horror—the kind where the monster isn't a creature.
It's a person.
His viral short film The Chair impressed producer James Harris, who contacted him about developing a feature. Barker instead pitched Obsession.
The film was produced for roughly $750,000. Audiences loved it. Studios started bidding, and eventually, acquired the distribution rights.
Meanwhile, while Barker was making short films, Kane Parsons was still in high school.
Most teenagers spend their afternoons playing video games.
Parsons spent his learning VFX, 3D animation, editing, and filmmaking.
Then, in 2022, he uploaded a short film called The Backrooms (Found Footage).
Hollywood executives suddenly found themselves studying a YouTube video made by a teenager.
The person who helped bring Parsons into the industry's spotlight was horror king James Wan and his production company, which saw enormous potential in the concept.
Soon afterward, joined the project.
They didn't replace Parsons with a veteran director.
They trusted the kid who created it.
Together, the two films were produced for approximately $20.75 million and went on to generate more than $300 million at the box office.
It turns out the scariest thing in horror wasn't the monster.
It was how much money Hollywood had been wasting.
15 years ago, we watched how it was built. Now, we see the fallout. ⚖️

It was how much money Hollywood had been wasting.
A 26-year-old taught the entire Hollywood who is spending money like water that you don't need millions of dollars for a super hit movie. All you need is a team of a director and actors who genuinely prioritize passion over money most.
Curry Barker, a 26-year-old filmmaker and YouTube sketch comedian, didn't wait around for Hollywood's permission.
When Producer James Harris initially reached out to Barker to adapt one of his YouTube horror shorts (The Chair).
Barker boldly pitched an entirely different, original idea a twisted psychological thriller called Obsession.
The role of Nikki required someone who could instantly flip from a normal, lovable friend to a terrifying, unstable, and violent stalker. Navarrette was locked in at the eleventh hour, delivering a breakthrough performance that critics are calling masterfully unhinged.
Traditional Hollywood studios often avoid taking pure creative risks on horror because they treat the genre like a formula.
Unlike typical horror movies that rely on ghosts in the walls, Obsession taps into a deeply relatable, real-world nightmare.
And now the movie whose total production cost is $750k has now crossed over $224 million world wide.
Did you know Obsession star Inde Navarrette used to have a Twitch channel? After landing her role in Superman & Lois, she started streaming to hang out with fans and play her favorite PvP FPS games, especially Call of Duty.
Here’s a clip of her in action! 💥
HOLLYWOOD CUT HER FROM A SUPERHERO SHOW. TWO YEARS LATER SHE BECAME HORROR'S MOST TERRIFYING GIRLFRIEND.
>Meet Inde Navarrette

The irony? After years of playing supporting roles and surviving a cost-cutting purge, the performance that finally made people notice was a character audiences desperately hoped they'd never meet in real life.

Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's latest UFO conspiracy sci-fi film.
It marks Spielberg's first major sci-fi movie in eight years and the 37th feature film of his career. Early reviews are already calling it his best work in two decades.
The story begins with Margaret Fairchild, played by Emily Blunt, a Kansas City weather broadcaster whose unexplained visions and apparent contact with a non-human intelligence place her at the center of humanity's greatest secret.
What makes the film especially intriguing is that it wasn't inspired purely by fiction. Spielberg has said it was influenced by real UFO reports, including the 2017 New York Times revelations about unexplained encounters between U.S. military personnel and unidentified aerial phenomena.
Disclosure isn't about first contact. It's about what happens after the secret gets out.
In theatres on 12 June
20 years ago today, a stop in Radiator Springs showed us that the journey matters as much as the finish line. 🏁
Cars Races Back into Theaters September
#Cars20
20 years ago today, Pixar's Cars rolled into theaters.
A world with no humans—only cars. On paper, it sounded like one of Pixar's strangest ideas. Instead, it became one of the studio's most beloved and successful franchises.
At its core, Cars is the story of a talented but rookie race car, Lightning McQueen, whose entire identity is built around arrogance, fame, and being the fastest on the track. After getting stranded in the forgotten town of Radiator Springs, he meets Doc Hudson, Mater, and Sally, who slowly change his perspective on life.
Doc teaches him humility and discipline. Mater teaches him loyalty and friendship. Sally shows him the value of slowing down and appreciating the journey rather than obsessing over the destination.
By the end of the movie, McQueen realizes that success means more than trophies, fame, and first-place finishes.
That lesson culminates in one of the most iconic moments in animation.
During the final race, McQueen is seconds away from winning the Piston Cup when veteran racer The King crashes near the finish line. Instead of taking the easy victory, McQueen stops, reverses back onto the track, and gently pushes The King across the finish line so he can retire with dignity.
He loses the race.
He wins everyone's respect.
And an entire generation became fans of Lightning McQueen.
The character became so popular that countless kids wanted red toy cars, red bicycles, red backpacks—anything that reminded them of McQueen.
Lightning McQueen became iconic because he wasn't naturally heroic. He started arrogant, selfish, and obsessed with fame. His entire legacy comes from learning he was wrong.
McQueen's racing number, 95, is a reference to 1995—the year Pixar released Toy Story, the film that changed animation forever.
The movie was also a love letter to Route 66 and small-town America. Many of the locations that inspired Radiator Springs are real places, and fans still travel across Route 66 to visit them today.
Another reason for the film's success was that it worked for every age group. Kids loved the racing and colorful characters. Adults connected with its themes of nostalgia, ambition, aging, friendship, and finding purpose beyond success.
Critics often rank Cars below some of Pixar's masterpieces, yet few Pixar films have had a bigger cultural footprint.
Imagine spending your entire life chasing first place, finally reaching the finish line, and realizing the people waiting there mattered more than the trophy.

A 20-YEAR-OLD WITH A YOUTUBE CHANNEL JUST BUILT A BIGGER HORROR HIT THAN HOLLYWOOD'S EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENTS.
While Hollywood was busy spending hundreds of millions chasing the next franchise, Kane Parsons spent his teenage years making visual effects videos in his bedroom.
Long before studios knew his name, he was uploading CGI experiments and short horror videos to YouTube under the channel Kane Pixels.
At just 16, he uploaded The Backrooms (Found Footage), a low-budget horror short based on an obscure internet urban legend.
The video accumulated millions of views almost overnight.Unlike most horror films, Backrooms wasn't built around a killer, a demon, or a haunted house.
It was built around isolation.
Endless yellow hallways.Buzzing fluorescent lights. No explanation. No escape.
Soon, producers started calling.
Among them was horror heavyweight James Wan, the filmmaker behind The Conjuring, Insidious, and Saw.
Eventually A24 acquired the project and trusted Parsons with directing the feature film himself.
A project that began as a YouTube short became A24's highest-grossing movie worldwide and established Parsons as one of the youngest major directors working today.
Imagine spending your teenage years making videos on YouTube. A few years later, movie executives are studying your work to figure out what audiences want. That's not breaking into Hollywood. That's making Hollywood come to you.
BONNIE BLUE RAGEBAITED THE ENTIRE INTERNET — AND ALMOST NOBODY NOTICED.
While millions of people were busy being angry at Bonnie Blue, she was quietly proving one of the oldest rules of the internet: attention is attention. Every controversy, headline, outrage post, and reaction video only made her bigger. By the time people realized they might be the product, the algorithm had already moved on.
>Born in 1999 in England.
>Worked in recruitment before entering adult content creation.
>Later moved to Australia.
>Went viral after creating content involving legal adult college-age participants.
>Got banned from Australia and later Fiji after drawing controversy.
>Claimed to have slept with 1,057 men in a single day, generating worldwide headlines.
>Sparked debates about feminism, exploitation, consent, and modern internet fame.
>Became one of the most searched adult performers online
>Was detained by Indonesian authorities during an investigation into alleged pornography production.
>Was deported and banned from returning.
>Later grabbed headlines again after announcing she was pregnant.
>The internet lost its mind when she suggested she would continue creating content while pregnant>
>For months, every new post fueled more outrage, arguments, and viral discussion.
>Then came the twist: the pregnancy was reportedly fake.
Her exact response to the internet's outrage was essentially: "Keep watching." Whether people supported her or hated her, they kept sharing her content, discussing her online, and turning every controversy into free promotion showing the algorithm doesn't care whether you're cheering or complaining.
– The ironic twist: thousands of people spent months trying to stop her rise while accidentally helping her trend.
Imagine discovering that millions of people hate what you're doing. Then discovering they're sharing it more than your fans. That's not a fanbase. That's an algorithm. Peak internet behavior.
NETFLIX JUST TURNED A TALKING DOG INTO A SUPERNATURAL MURDER WITNESS
For 55 years Scooby-Doo has operated on a monster appears, teenagers investigate, Scooby gets scared and eventually some middle-aged man gets arrested for pretending to be a ghost.
Now Netflix's Scooby-Doo: Origins (2027) is throwing that formula into a blender and asking how Mystery Inc. actually came together in the first place.
The hype exists because Scooby-Doo has survived more than 50 years of cartoons, movies, reboots, and memes, yet this is the franchise's first-ever live-action television series.
The new live-action series follows Shaggy and Daphne during their last summer at camp when they encounter a lost Great Dane puppy connected to a mysterious supernatural murder.
Scooby is older than Star Wars. The dog has outlived formats that were supposed to replace him.
Imagine spending 56 years exposing fake ghosts. Then your biggest modern comeback starts with an actual supernatural murder and a puppy witness.
The real AI trade wasn't coders for robots. It was coders for escorts who understand GPUs.
While software professionals worry about AI replacing their jobs, a small group of elite escorts are charging AI millionaires and tech executives up to $6,000/hour and as much as $23,000/day. Their edge isn't just looks.
It's that they can talk about:
• AI & GPUs • Startups & VC • Crypto • Geopolitics • Longevity • The future of humanity
One escort reportedly said some clients spend more time discussing technology than having sex.
The most surprising part?
The highest earners aren't necessarily the most attractive.They are the ones who are capable of discussion.
Beauty became a commodity. Intelligence became the premium.
What does a typical booking look like?
• Dinner • Drinks • Industry gossip • Startup discussions • AI debates • Personal conversations • Events and travel
The same AI revolution creating AI girlfriends, AI therapists and AI companions is also making real human connection more valuable.
The biggest winner of the AI boom might not be another AI startup.
It might be the company who can provide Hot and Smart escorts.
They earn what an average silicon valley IT professional earns.
A small group of high-end companions are charging time-poor technorati thousands an hour by offering a blend of sex, attention and genuine intellectual rapport. Check out the full story: https://t.co/H7aw7AHVFM (📸: Jamel Toppin for Forbes)

Did you know in the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" Julia Stiles' poem scene was done in a single take. The tears streaming down Julia Stiles' face were completely unscripted and genuine emotion. The director Gil Junger loved it so much they didn't do another take.
The title of the film and the climactic poem were inspired by one of the screenwriters, Karen McCullah. While looking through her old high school diaries, she found a list she had written about an ex-boyfriend titled "Things I Hate About Anthony." She changed it to 10 things for the script.
The entire movie is a modernized adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy The Taming of the Shrew. The film drops massive hints throughout:
>Kat and Bianca’s last name is Stratford (referencing Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon).
>Heath Ledger’s character is Patrick Verona (in the play, the suitor is Petruchio of Verona).
>Julia Stiles’ character is Katherina (Kat), just like the "shrew" in the play.
