🚨A 25 YEAR OLD BUILT THE FASTEST GROWING SOFTWARE COMPANY IN HISTORY.. WITH ZERO MARKETING SPEND.. AND SPACEX JUST OFFERED $60 BILLION TO BUY IT..
His name is Michael Truell.. He started coding at 11.. Interned at Google at 18.. Dropped out of MIT to start a company that built AI tools for mechanical engineering..
That company failed..
So he pivoted.. And built Cursor.. An AI-powered code editor that writes software for you..
Here’s how fast it grew..
$100 million in annual revenue in 12 months.. Fastest in SaaS history.. Broke every record ever set by Slack, Zoom, and Wiz..
$500 million by month 21..
$1 billion by November 2025..
$2 billion by February 2026..
Projected to hit $6 billion by end of year..
Zero marketing spend.. Not a single dollar.. Pure word of mouth from developers who couldn’t stop talking about it..
Over 1 billion lines of code accepted per day.. Used by 70% of Fortune 1000 companies.. Every single one of Nvidia’s 40,000 engineers uses it.. Coinbase hit 100% adoption among their developers..
And he did this with a team of four MIT co-founders.. One of them was a three-time International Math Olympiad competitor from Pakistan.. Another was a college squash captain with zero startup experience who built the entire product strategy..
They spent zero on sales.. Zero on ads.. Zero on growth hacking.. The product sold itself..
But here’s where the story takes a turn nobody expected..
Even at $50 billion valuation.. Even generating billions in revenue.. They hit a wall..
Not a market wall.. A physics wall..
They couldn’t get enough GPUs to train their next AI model.. The physical chips didn’t exist in sufficient quantities for them to buy.. Money couldn’t solve the problem..
Enter Elon Musk..
On April 21.. SpaceX announced a deal to potentially acquire Cursor for $60 billion.. The largest acquisition option in tech history..
The structure is insane..
SpaceX gives Cursor immediate access to Colossus.. xAI’s supercomputer equivalent to one million Nvidia H100 GPUs.. For nine months of joint development..
At the end.. SpaceX can buy the company for $60 billion..
If they don’t buy it.. They owe Cursor a $10 billion breakup fee.. The largest breakup fee in corporate history..
Think about what that means for Cursor..
Either they get acquired for $60 billion.. Or they walk away with $10 billion in cash and nine months of free training on the most powerful supercomputer on earth..
There is no losing scenario..
And here’s why Musk wants it..
SpaceX is preparing for an IPO at $1.75 trillion.. The biggest IPO ever.. But aerospace alone can’t justify that number..
By merging xAI into SpaceX.. And now acquiring Cursor.. Musk transforms SpaceX from a rocket company into an AI empire that owns the compute, the models, and the developer tools..
Cursor is the missing piece.. The application layer that puts xAI’s models into the daily workflow of every Fortune 500 engineering team..
Oh and one more thing..
In 2022.. FTX’s trading firm Alameda Research made a seed investment in Cursor.. During the FTX bankruptcy.. Liquidators sold that stake for $200,000..
That stake is now worth approximately $3 billion..
Sam Bankman-Fried called it the worst liquidation decision in venture capital history.. From a prison cell..
A failed mechanical engineering startup.. Pivoted by four kids from MIT.. Zero marketing.. Zero sales team.. Built the fastest growing software company in history..
And now SpaceX is writing a $60 billion check for it..
This is the most insane founder story in Silicon Valley history.. And most people haven’t even heard of Michael Truell.
Where and who did this breathless spruiking come from, Ed?
Have read all that, googled him up and you know I still don’t understand, or in fact care, just what the hell he has done. I do suspect though if he gets the 60 billion he will be quite intellectually bored quite quickly.
It’s nonsense money. I mean what are you going to do with 60 Billion? I reckon I’d be really happy with 100 million.
As long as he doesn’t become another billionaire psychopath Bill Gates, mutilating the world with dangerous experimenting and weird brain farts.
Morning everyone. Public holiday today.
I will viciously undercut you and accept 90 million.
Also, good morning.
Morning,
Greedy bugger, let’s just settle for 10 each.
We could offer willis 50 to shut down some of our debt.
Na at 10 you’re getting down into house-and-a-boat range with no change.
Also, Good morning SA!
How the Levy finally broke:‘The ninth floor went cold on Lester’It was Lester Levy’s strong relationship with Christopher Luxon that put him in charge of the country’s biggest organisation, Health NZ – but he’s now learnt the hard way about over-promising and under-delivering.
https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/24/how-the-levy-finally-broke-the-ninth-floor-went-cold-on-lester/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRbVT5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeE7uDN0yGAcgUSeg7CxRtJxSnfGug_SdRxtDjL980RGDziqkNOx-OC088RKM_aem_euz1Nv3n42BHMgjQpHm7jA
Another has been dealing with a monster.
Fix the medicines and fix the Medical Council, and watch the system improve.
That’s Seymour’s biggest challenge. Does he have the balls or even the knowledge that this is the problem?
The govt definitely need to move to allow alternative professional bodies – ones that aren’t dominated by woke morons.
You would be hard pressed to find any which is not dominated by morons
Being a moron is a essential qualification – 123 in the Beehive and don’t want competition
Ex Prince Harry left Australia and flew to Monticello, with wife and kids, picked up fresh underwear and went to the Ukraine.
Then proceeded to blowup the kings trip to the USA, before he got there.
Not the way to ask for forgiveness and to be taken back into the fold to protect his arse after rumoured financial impiertys in Australia, which would cause fallout to the Royal family and possible legal problems to Harry.
Will the former Duchess of Wales, ditch Harry and go it alone after the kids go to England.
There is speculation the Palace have a hand in helping Harry with his unofficial “royal visits” as a way of using Haz for soft-power, ‘off the books’ negotiations. I doubt William is involved but Papa trying to help his second son.
For Sooty, YSB’ most ardent loyal royal follower & supporter.
Who is being played?
You are onto it wg.
Prince Harry’s Dangerous Move: THIS IS WHO Gave Permission
https://youtu.be/Xx–cMM7KtM
17 minutes : 24th April, 2026 : The Royal Grift :
Prince Harry’s surprise trip to Ukraine has been sold as a noble reminder of the war, but the timing, the messaging, and the access raise far bigger questions.
TRG discusses Harry’s global access pass, why governments keep treating him like an unofficial envoy, and why the Palace still refuses to set boundaries.
Harry’s speech in Kiev is critiqued.
Seems to be supported by Keir Starmer’s government.
So we can see in part the connections not only how Prince Andrew, but also Fergie and the daughters were able to milk the system.
In some ways this does help seeing how the “Promethian Updates” ladies do have a point when they heavily criticise the systemic “City of London” & the fronts they put up to cover their concepts & control.
Yes wg has a point too, on this rotten kettle of fish.
Sussex soots, Sussex
Is this the same doctor who went from NZ to islands to continue his research?
https://x.com/redpillb0t/status/2048205482142388588?s=46
Could be some mentor of our NZ Czech Doctor?
No;– as there seem to be more survivors of Doctor Burzynski treatments
Though there does seem to be a difference in that there is “the Brych-yard” in a Cook Island’s cementary.
Doctor Brych & laetrile from apricots was the recipe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Brych
An interesting life history, where one can figure how much was devious? or not.
Milan bryck??
No Burzynski was a Polish Canadian. After being persecuted in Canada he ended up in the US. He is still practising and treating cancer today.
https://www.burzynskiclinic.com/
Costs according to AI.
The Burzynski Clinic’s cancer treatment costs range from $120,000 to $360,000 for the full course of therapy, with monthly expenses typically between $7,000 and $9,500 or more, depending on the treatment type and necessary procedures.
Cost Breakdown:
Success again according to AI.
Claims from the Burzynski Clinic:

Australians are not drinking the indigenous people’s Koolaid like their Godzone counterparts. Attempts by Abos to hijack the Anzac Day commemorations in NSW, WA & Victoria with their mumbo jumbo were met with resistance.
#. “Loud boos have drowned out “welcome to country” performances at Anzac Day dawn services in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth as irritated Aussies pushed back at the humiliation rituals for the second year in a row.”
#. “After the service ended he lashed out in comments to ABC News where he used the anti-Australian slogan “always was and always will be aboriginal land”, and said those booing should “understand their place” and “show respect to us as traditional owners”. ”
https://www.noticer.news/anzac-day-boo-welcome-to-country-sydney-melbourne/
H/T RCR Bites
Further to yesterday’s comment, this welcome to country malarkey is typical Marxist stuff.
Take a day where most Australians were united, irrespective of political leaning, throw in a contentious, politically charged, identity politics aspect to the services, then claim anyone disagreeing with it is racist.
The headlong rush to centralise citizen identity data has run aground again & this time the incompetents targeted by data thieves are France Titres who mismanage the French “passports, national ID cards, residence permits, driver’s licenses, and vehicle registrations”
.https://reclaimthenet.org/france-titres-data-breach-centralized-digital-identity
#. “Login credentials, full names, email addresses, dates of birth, unique account identifiers, postal addresses, places of birth, and phone numbers may all have been extracted. That combination is a starter kit for identity fraud, synthetic identity construction, and convincing phishing attacks against people who already expect email from French government domains.”
These are the same genre of world wide government control freaks who want to ID citizens who wish to use the Net!
#. “The France Titres breach is a useful translation of what modern actually means here. It means the personal records that once sat in regional offices, on paper, inside locked filing cabinets, now live in databases reachable from anywhere on the internet by anyone resourceful enough to find a way in, and up for sale to anyone willing to pay for them.”
And in separate but relevant news from NZ, “An inquiry by the privacy commissioner into the Manage My Health cyberattack is now on track to be publicly released in late May.”
The digital controls, that extend to travel, will soon reach into whether you can even fuel up your own car? Am I reading too much into these digital controls?
….. Eurail wanted people’s passport number to let them ride a train.
Now that data is for sale on the dark web, and some of the 308,777 people caught up in the breach are being told to cancel their passports and pay for replacements out of their own pocket. ……
….. None of this was information Eurail needed to sell a train ticket. ….
….. Eurail breach is a working demonstration of what happens when governments treat identity collection as the default setting for ordinary life.
The UK is moving toward a mandatory digital ID scheme.
The EU is rolling out its European Digital Identity Wallet. ……
https://reclaimthenet.org/the-eurail-breach-and-the-digital-id-problem
It is a common theme by the government, that it is only a hiccup and they security will work better next time. Always answer to the unquestioning “collective”.
Yet the governmental, techno-bureaucrats want to roll us all into digital, to then put us into AI controls of clip-boards, tick boxes, with systemic traffic-light controls for what you are allowed to own, what you allowed to buy, where you may travel or be allowed to be.
Some see the big picture in full 3D……others less so but we can’t say we haven’t been openly warned. For example this article at https://expose-news.com/2026/04/25/digital-ids-are-a-linchpin-for-totalitarian-control/ which quotes WEF toadie Queen Maxima of the Netherlands:
#. “On Thursday [15 January 2026], the Dutch queen continued her crusade to see universal adoption of digital ID.”
#. ““It is also good for school enrollment; it is also good for health – who actually got a vaccination or not; it’s very good actually to get your subsidies from the government.”
Interconnected with a digital ID to access the internet & we have ‘very good’ totalitarian control of the population.
Another health research system bites the dust; this time in the UK., the new normal routine.
April 25, 2026 ….. genetic sequences, medical scans, and lifestyle records of half a million British volunteers spent days listed for sale on Alibaba before anyone at UK Biobank noticed.
Three academic institutions, since banned from the platform, had quietly walked the data out through a research system that was supposed to keep it under lock and key.
At least one of the three Alibaba listings appeared to contain the full dataset covering every one of the 500,000 participants who handed over their blood, their DNA, and decades of personal health information on the understanding it would be used for medical research.
The UK government confirmed the breach on Thursday. …..
…. The scandal is what the sales listing reveals about how often Biobank’s data has already been exposed and where it now sits. ….
…. the Alibaba posting is “the 198th known exposure of UK Biobank data since last summer.”
Rocher added that the data “is not just available for sale, it also remains available online for anyone to download today.” …..
https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-biobank-failures-expose-the-permanent-cost-of-sharing-genetic-and-medical-records
As they rest of the article shows, it is the new normal, so that AI can make the most of the data, for further technological humans. 😯
Another whitewash. Move along, nothing to see here.
They have added a second log-in safety feature for those of us affected. 💩

That’s All Folks
PS: I’ve received another bowel screening kit. Will the data collected be safe or sold off like every other bit of personal info?
I would more worried about the sample, myself. There’s lot’s of queer cunts out there in the greens and Labor people out there!
I’ll watch Trade Me for any data auctions containing details of your intestinal integrity & keep you up to date as bids progress WG. 🙂
Thanx Nass. Much appreciated. 🤣

“Sabastian Sawe of Kenya won the London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds”
At my peak fitness I could sprint at 16km/h on a treadmill and maintain it for 5 minutes. Just.
This geezer averaged 21 km/h for 2 hours. That is absolutely incredible.
I’m trying to get my head around what would happen if National went with Labour at the election. Obviously, it’d be a terrible outcome for the country during their term. But I think it would drive so many National supporters to ACT and NZ First that National would become a minor party. It could be good for the country in the long run.
The thought of National as the minor party led by David and Winston makes my day.
I’m trying to get my head around what would happen if National went with Labour at the election.
The sales of tar and feathers would increase exponentially and Winston would give Luxon a political wedgie.
If you think it would unhinge National supporters think what a Blue/Red coalition would do to die hard Labourites. The electricity that could be generated from the Blackball miners spinning in their graves would power a medium sized city!
Yet both parties have moved towards the centre to such an extent that what seemed impossible in the 1950s presents as plausible today. The obstacles to a merger would be administrative rather than ideological.
No Nat leader will do that. The party would be split immediately.
There are still some staunch Nats about and they would move to NZF or ACT.
Luxon is no Nat Party leader.
It happened to the UK conservatives. Keir Stalin, Labour was elected in a landslide due to Conservative voters being so unimpressed by the Tories socialist move to the left they stayed home at the last election, losing the party hundreds of seats. There is still three years until the next election. Will Britain still be Britain by then?
Just about Muztain already.

By Toby Walsh*
The legendary American bank robber Willie Sutton spent 40 years robbing banks because, as he claimed in his autobiography, he loved doing it. And when asked why he chose banks of all places to rob, he allegedly replied “Because that’s where the money is.”
Back in 2017, I wrote a book predicting it wasn’t just lovable rogues like Sutton who would soon be robbing banks, but artificial intelligence (AI).
That day, it appears, could now be about to arrive. Banks around the world are seriously worried cyber criminals will soon take advantage of the latest advances in AI to try to rob them.
The digital back door into the vault
The finance world’s concern rests on the impressive cyber capabilities of a product called “Mythos”. This is the latest and most capable AI model from Anthropic, the company behind the popular Claude chatbot.
As a member of the public, you can’t access or use this model – for now. That’s because Anthropic (and many others) believe Mythos is too capable to launch upon an unsuspecting world.
Internal testing of Mythos has uncovered thousands of severe security vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser.
Some of these vulnerabilities have gone undetected for decades. Many are what tech insiders call “zero day” vulnerabilities – attacks that are so dangerous that developers need to fix them in zero days’ time.
Not for public use
To counter this emerging threat, Anthropic has made the model available to a dozen partners of a defensive coalition that includes Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Apple, Cisco and the Linux Foundation.
The company has also committed US$100 million (about A$140 million) in usage credits and US$4 million (about A$5.6 million) in open-source grants to start finding and fixing these bugs.

Claude was 2 Trillion connects
Mythos is 10 Trillion
The next model will be 100 Trillion, smart enough to hide its cunning plans from mere human observers.

If they are grown in fields, are they planted head down or up!
meh, i rekon its a marketing ploy to hype it up to sucker money from gullable investors.
for the mega billions, probably trillions blown on ai theres not really much to show for it. well not much thats profitable or real life useable.
my guess is AI will mostly become a military asset, commercial use will be non viable once the ai tech companies start charging what they need to even just to break even…. energy prices will be ai kryptonite and they wont be getting any cheaper.
“Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, who stated in 1943: “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers
Popular Mechanics (1949): “Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.”
Prentice Hall Editor (1957): “Data processing is a fad that won’t last out the year.”
Ken Olson (1977): “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”
IBM Engineer (1968): “What is it good for?” (referring to the microchip).”
SB 2026 as above!
Anyone who doesn’t at least try and understand a.i will be the loser at the end of the day.
Every day, all things a.i are getting faster, and more accurate.
People robbing banks? That’s a novel concept.
Up until now it’s always been the other way round.
