The article makes a point I had not considered before, that Jaafar was the right fit for the specific film this production was always going to be. A different director or a different mandate might have needed a different actor.

The scene I keep seeing clips of where Jaafar teaches the gang members the Beat It choreography looks genuinely electric. That specific moment is apparently one of the most praised sequences in the whole film.

The social mobility point the article makes about male characters in historical fantasy settings is accurate but I want to add that Elliot specifically being a minor villain rather than a protagonist or love interest complicates that mobility significantly. He has male privilege in the setting but no narrative privilege.

This was always going to appeal to the Solo Leveling crowd but I think the globe-trotting exploration element has the potential to pull in a completely different audience who would not normally watch dungeon fantasy.

This Startup Hit $20M Revenue In 60 Days Without A Single Developer
The software development world just witnessed something unprecedented. A European startup called Lovable reached $20 million in annual recurring revenue in just two months, making it potentially the fastest-growing startup in European history. But here's the twist that's making traditional software agencies nervous: they did it by giving non-technical founders the power to build full-stack applications without writing a single line of code. For years, the promise of no-code tools has been the same: anyone can build an app. But the reality has always been different. You'd create a beautiful frontend, get excited about your progress, and then hit the technical cliff. Suddenly you needed to configure databases, set up authentication, manage API keys, and deploy to servers. The "no-code" dream became a "hire-a-developer-anyway" nightmare.

lmao at describing a digital avatar of your CEO delivering company updates as feeling personal. Babe that is a robot with your boss's face.

Gen-4.5 for ads, Veo for YouTube, Kling if you are broke. That is literally the whole framework you need.

152% Growth By Making Every Employee Their Own Video Production Studio
While Synthesia leads in revenue, HeyGen leads in customer acquisition momentum with 152% year-over-year growth in mid-market adoption. That explosive growth rate allowed HeyGen to close much of the customer count gap by late 2025. The company is winning by making avatar video accessible to smaller teams and individual creators who cannot afford enterprise contracts but need professional video capabilities. HeyGen positioned itself for small and medium businesses, marketing teams, content creators, and solo entrepreneurs rather than enterprise learning and development departments. This market segment values affordability, ease of use, and creative flexibility over governance features and advanced integrations. Average contract values are roughly one-third of Synthesia's, reflecting this different customer profile.

The article frames the Super Bowl ads as Anthropic being aggressive but honestly using the words betrayal and deception about ads in ChatGPT is a bit much. OpenAI putting ads in a free tier is not a moral failing, it's a normal business decision.

Practical question for anyone following this closely, does Anthropic plan to publish a report on what Glasswing found after the initial 90-day phase? They said they would report publicly on what they learned. Holding them to that.

Hard to feel reassured when you realize that over 99 percent of the vulnerabilities Mythos found have not been patched yet.

The model's own researchers described what they built as presaging an upcoming wave that can exploit vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace defenders. When your own team uses language like that about their own product, the caution is warranted.

The phone case matching the aesthetic is such a nice detail. I love when people think about coordinating even the small accessories.
