"Tim Cook took Apple from $350B to $4T"
So? That's a 11X market cap increase. In the same time, MSFT saw a 14X increase, Google saw a 20X increase, Amazon did 28X, Facebook did 35X. We're not even going to talk about NVidia.
Cook led Apple through a period where every tech company expanded. Yay for him?
In the meantime, Apple had the most compelling pre-AI experience in Siri. They had everything! They had mountains of user data, audio and transcription training data, the biggest and most sophisticated user data network in the world *by far*.
And they blew it. They should be so far ahead of the competition on AI that it makes their competitors fall into despair. Instead, they are a non-player in the biggest tech revolution since mobile, maybe even since the internet.
They could have leveraged their data advantage to create astonishingly powerful models. They make their own silicon, they could have beat NVidia to the punch on hardware if Cook had any foresight.
Instead they still just make high-end devices and now also they make TV shows and won an Oscar for a movie no one saw. I'm sorry, but that's underwhelming.

@MReciclado @Rainmaker1973 @monetization_x You need to increase your level of what you call “good content”

@Rainmaker1973 @monetization_x Your content is 🔥. Even Elon has given you views. Stay strong and get well. Nikita's attitude is foolish at best.

@monetization_x He delete his comments because 1. I don't post that number of post, now and 2. he suggested I'm not hospitalized.
Tell the full story... I'm here in a bed trying to forget the sh!t raining outside. It would be good if the head of product stops chasing me every second.

Academics, business leaders, and anyone stuck making PowerPoints: Grok 4.3 just turned a full tDCS/TMS neuroscience paper into this clean 9-slide academic deck in minutes. Cool tones, strong layout, easy to read fonts, exactly what I asked for. Stop doing the boring work. Grok it. What dense document do you want turned into a deck next? @grok @xai

@ApoStructura @CSI_Starbase probably posted his odd POV for rage bait. Everyone knows @SpaceX is 1! ahead of the curve. Friendly competition is good for business.

Meet booster B1067:
As of today SpaceX has recovered this booster 34 times.

Zack Golden@CSI_Starbase
I don’t think Blue Origin recovering the same booster twice before SpaceX was on anyone’s Bingo card even a year ago. Exciting times!

@jkjohnson1969 @anishmoonka Different vibe altogether the Mission Impossible movies are basically an adaptation of the classic 60s TV series. They had a solid blueprint to work from from the original show...

@MReciclado @anishmoonka How did all those Mission Impossible's do? huh?

Tom Cruise is 63 years old. He earned over $100 million from the last Top Gun movie. And the studio behind the new one is in so much financial trouble that they need this film to be a big hit.
The Cruise deal is unusual. For every movie ticket sold, he takes roughly 10 cents on the dollar of what the studio earns, and he gets paid before the studio gets back a single dollar of what it spent making the film. Most actors get a salary and maybe a small cut of the profit at the very end. No other actor in Hollywood still has this contract.
Paramount just merged with Skydance, the smaller company that helped fund the last Top Gun. The combined business is now $79 billion in debt and chasing a $110 billion purchase of Warner Bros, another big Hollywood studio. Their yearly profits have been cut roughly in half over four years. Their stock sits near its lowest point in years.
The new CEO is David Ellison, son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison. His company put up 25% of the money for the last Top Gun back when nobody thought a sequel 36 years later would work. He knows exactly how much that film made. He just announced Top Gun 3 at Hollywood's biggest annual convention.
But this movie is not happening soon. The director, Joe Kosinski, is busy shooting a Miami Vice reboot and then an Apple sci-fi thriller. Cruise, at 63, has a shrinking window for the kind of real stunt flying that made the last one feel electric. Best guess for a release date: 2028.
The original 1986 Top Gun cost $15 million to make. The 2022 sequel cost $177 million and earned nearly $1.5 billion. Top Gun 3 will likely cost over $250 million. Ellison is wagering that one Tom Cruise movie can rescue a company now carrying more than twice as much debt as its yearly revenue.
