Jack Mallers on walking away from Twenty One:
"I failed, and I own that."

His message to the people who believed in him, why he calls it a failure, and the question he says the universe put to him: are you who you say you are?

Thank you @jackmallers for this honest, unfiltered conversation.

Grok Build dropped another major update.

At this point, keeping up with the changelog is becoming its own workout.

New /jump command.
New /timeline sidebar.
Better terminal workflows.
Fleet-wide enterprise controls.
Cleaner edit summaries.
More reliable login, rewind, voice, bash, and background tasks.

Basically, the boring things are getting smoother and the powerful things are getting easier to reach.

That's exactly what you want in a coding agent that people actually use every day.

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.
