Citizen Vigilante is now #1 on Apple and on Amazon Video.
A $750k movie beating blockbusters with hundreds of millions in production budget.
Just because the director / producer had the courage to address a really important topic.
Courage in art remains the best recipe for success. I hope more movie (and game โฆ!!!) creators grow some balls.
One vote stood between America and independence. The man who had to cast it was 80 miles away, battling cancer, as a violent thunderstorm raged. His name was Caesar Rodney.
A lesser-known founder of the American Revolution, Rodney rode overnight on horseback from Delaware to Philadelphia, arriving just in time to cast the deciding vote for independence and sign the Declaration of Independence. ๐บ๐ฒ

Alibaba allegedly ran 28.8 million fraudulent API exchanges across 25,000 fake accounts to steal Claude's intelligence. If confirmed, it's the largest AI model theft ever attempted. The same week, the White House restricted GPT 5.6 to 20 companies, OpenAI delayed its IPO, and Neuralink announced it may attempt brain-to-brain telepathy this year.
-- GPT 5.6 launches in three tiers: Sol, Terra, Luna all throttled by the White House.
-- Chinese proxy services offer Western frontier models at 90% discount. The trade: your reasoning traces get harvested for distillation.
-- OpenAI won't IPO below $1 trillion. Revenue is at $40โ50B annually but they're burning $26B.
-- Elon's endgame for Neuralink is I/O layer for the singularity, allowing humans to couple with AI directly.
