As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.
A man who earned $28 an hour at SpaceX is about to become a millionaire today because of the IPO.
But he is just 1 of 4,400 SpaceX employees becoming millionaires today.
SpaceX begins trading on Nasdaq today under the ticker SPCX, priced at $135 per share and valued at $1.77 trillion.
The offering raised $75 billion and drew more than $250 billion in investor demand, more than three times oversubscribed.
More than 4,400 current and former SpaceX employees are projected to become millionaires today. Around 400 of them will hold stakes worth over $100 million each.
To put that in context, the Google IPO in 2004 created roughly 1,000 millionaires. Facebook's 2012 listing produced a similar number. SpaceX is doing more than four times both of them in a single day.
And the majority of these people are not founders or executives.
They are engineers, welders, machinists, and launch technicians who took equity over cash and held it for years.
Juan Hernandez moved from Mexico and learned to weld for the money.
He joined SpaceX in 2015 earning $28 an hour. When he went full time, the company gave him $10,000 worth of stock. He held it, bought more through payroll deductions, and sold a small portion in 2020 to buy property in Texas.
His remaining shares are worth $880,000 today.
Trevor Hise joined as a launch engineer straight out of college in 2011. He spent 12 years accumulating shares through salary, bonuses, and reinvestment. He is 37 years old and walking away with more than $13.5 million.
Gavin Petit started in 2012 on an $80,000 base salary with a small initial grant priced at $13.80 per share. He took every bonus in stock.
He has already paid off his home in Denver from earlier tender offer windows and now holds a stake worth several million dollars.
J. André Lavoie, an engineer who received grants years ago, is sitting on more than $28 million. He is currently in Italy renovating a hotel.
Tom Mueller was SpaceX's first employee, hired in 2002 to build the engines that made all of this possible. He left in 2020 but kept his equity.
This week he said: "Elon always said that your salary is one thing, but it's the equity that's gonna be worth something. That day is here."
This is what SpaceX's compensation model actually looked like from the beginning. The company paid below market salaries and made up the difference in equity at every level of the organisation, not just at the top.
Stock options vested over four to six years. Workers could buy additional shares at a 15% discount through a company purchase plan.
Early option grants were priced below $2 per share. Even 2025 grants carried exercise prices between $37 and $42. At $135 today, those positions are sitting at 3x returns minimum.
The physical impact is already visible in Brownsville, Texas, one of the poorest cities in the United States, where more than 3,000 SpaceX employees work at Starbase.
Median home prices in the surrounding county have gone from $131,000 in 2014 to over $281,000 today.
More than 100 SpaceX employees pooled their combined holdings, estimated between $1 billion and $5 billion to negotiate institutional level wealth management fees as individual workers.
Today, SPCX opens and 4,400 people find out what years of holding actually pays.

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED
it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas
to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text
its called asciline, and here's the trick:
> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet
since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm
however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well
@zoomerfied It relates to AudiA6 one of the top the @kucoincom users (operated hundreds of accounts there) who ran a centralized mixing services for cybercriminals.
BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.
Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.
The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.
That means:
• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed
All directly on your phone.
Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.
In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.
Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.
Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.

The jailbroken version can be used for research into and exploitation of vulnerabilities.
