If you created a "business" based off advertising, what you really did is exploit how terrified Google & Facebook are of being labeled a monopoly.
You exist because they want you there to have a barebone ecosystem to point at during discovery.
Only took me 10 years.

“I guess the zero days were in the training data!”
someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo
claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history...
it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes, stole the admin api key, then did the exact, same thing to the linux kernel
Currently struggling to find a justification for having made fun of the education system that thought dead languages to my sister (Latin and Greek) as now it’s programming that is the dead language.
ChatGPT takes some time to search the web. Gemini uses Google’s search index to fetch a cached version of the web. Isn’t it funny being that big that you can just do that?
So there really is going to be a race for total dominance on putting pew pew systems up in space and it’s a winner take all kinda situation? Sounds messy.
Today, we unveil Project Shadow — Apex's on-orbit Space-Based Interceptor (SBI) technology demonstration, launching NET June 2026. At Apex, we often launch self-funded missions to advance our technology and demonstrate our capabilities in space. Over 1.5 years ago, we launched our first Aries satellite, which continues to serve as an on-orbit software testbed for our team and customers. Project Shadow is our next step internally funded mission (with more to come in the future).
Launching on our Nova satellite bus platform, Shadow integrates and demonstrates key SBI technologies in a single, end-to-end mission.
Here’s an inside look at Shadow:
1. Apex’s Nova platform will be outfitted with the “Orbital Magazine” configuration package, providing environmental management for the demonstration interceptors, a Link-182–compatible radio, and Missile Warning/Tracking sensors.
2. The Orbital Magazine will carry two scaled-down demonstration interceptors, each equipped with a solid rocket motor (SRM) and a suite of data-collection sensors.
3. The Orbital Magazine will launch NET June 2026, and after LEOPS and commissioning, Apex will issue a fire control command.
4. The Orbital Magazine will deploy the first interceptor and establish an inter-satellite link. The interceptor will be tasked to fire its SRM while oriented in the inverse velocity direction, avoiding other in-space objects, and safely deorbiting after the burn.
5. During the burn, the Missile Warning/Tracking payloads on the Orbital Magazine will gather critical data on on-orbit SRM performance, determine tracks, and more.
6. The second interceptor will be deployed shortly after, establish a crosslink, and receive a command to fire its SRM, following a similar trajectory to the first demonstration interceptor and safely deorbiting.
Project Shadow is self-funded by Apex. We believe that supporting America, our allies, and democracy requires direct investment in the development and maturation of key defense technologies — including SBIs.

This reads like traveling in time. Imagine doing technology dev at tsmc, intel is catching up and the silicon shield narrative is collapsing. You _have_ to make that next node 0.3% better or your uncle will die fighting west Taiwan’s airdropped robots if you fail. No pressure!
I wonder what Trump would write about Taiwan after a Chinese invasion…
“A small island, thousands of miles away, and we’ve been paying BILLIONS to protect them while getting NOTHING in return.
Believe me folks, they stole our chips and they had this coming. It’s only thanks to TRUMP that we got as much of it back as we did. But you don’t have to worry. We blew TSMC up on the way out and they won’t be making any chips for China. Goodbye to TSMC. Say hello to ASMC. We are going to make the world’s best chips.
Xi is very smart, very tough—he’s doing what he thinks is best for China. Crooked Lai is very weak. No match for Xi. He thought Uncle Sam was going to bail him out? NO DEAL!”
On one hand, 90% of knowledge workers, myself included, are now scheduled for obsolescence and unemployability. On the other, humanity is going to accelerate so hard this age will be it’s own chapter in the history books, and I’m so, so ready for it!
I've never worked harder in my life, clocking in 65-70 plus hours a week. The sheer dedication and effort from our team at SpaceX is nothing short of extraordinary. Every person is fully committed, giving their all to make Starship our ticket off this rock. We are relentless, clothes drenched in sweat, but we keep going. It's hard, and there are moments when you have to remind yourself why you're doing it. But every launch reignites that drive, making you want to push harder and harder.
I'm ready to hear the sonic booms of super heavy as it comes back to the tower. The next launch is going to shake the foundations of what mankind thought was possible. If the Super Heavy booster is successfully caught, it's going to send ripples across the world, showcasing just how serious we are about this mission. This isn't just about reaching space, it's about redefining the limits of human achievement and pioneering a new era of exploration. We are on the brink of something monumental, and together, we will make history.
Keep pushing, one step at a time.
