Elon Musk says he has ‘cyber psychosis’. Do you too? | Arwa Mahdawi
Published: 2026-10-27 15:01:14 | Created: 2026-10-27 15:03:00

Whether using chatbots for childcare or taking up smoking, a new affliction is sweeping through the tech world. Here are the signs

In the least surprising news you’ll hear all week, Elon Musk has said he’s not entirely right in the head. “I’ve got a little bit of cyber psychosis,” the world’s richest and most irritating man explained during an event this month. “Maybe a lot actually.” Musk added that, over “various points this year”, he’s had “AI or SI psychosis probably half a dozen times”. SI, in case you missed the super-important memo, stands for “superintelligence” and it’s what Donald Trump wants everyone to call AI now, for reasons too stupid to explain.

While the phrase SI is still being used 0nly by weaselly tech bros desperate for Trump’s approval, you’ll probably have heard the term “AI psychosis” bandied around a lot. On the most serious level, it refers to delusional thinking induced or exacerbated by sycophantic chatbots. People who have ploughed their life savings into a ridiculous business idea, for example, because computer code told them they were the next Jeff Bezos. But the phrase has also been used more jokingly to describe overexuberance around artificial intelligence, and that seems to be how Musk was using it. The comments about his self-diagnosed bouts of cyber psychosis came as the tech mogul waxed lyrical about how great AI music videos have become, and how he believes artificial intelligence now “understands beauty and harmony”.

Elizabeth Holmes mania: how the buzziest film of the year has resurrected a gut-twisting TV drama
Published: 2026-10-27 14:34:55 | Created: 2026-10-27 14:49:02

The Theranos fraudster is the subject of Nathan Fielder’s mind-bending You Can See Everything documentary. It is now driving audiences to watch Disney/Hulu’s 2022 series, The Dropout – and they’re seeing it in a whole new light

There are surprise smash hits, and then there’s You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder’s documentary-cum-psychodrama about the disgraced US entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes. It arrived in US cinemas with much buzz: this was, after all, an A24 production, helmed by one of TV’s leading performance-art pranksters. But You Can See Everything has surpassed all expectations to become an undeniable hit, and is now the highest-grossing US documentary in 15 years just two weeks after its release.

Co-directed by Lance Oppenheim, it is a surreal and masterly epic; at a press screening in London, the audience appeared to be alternately spellbound by its comedic elements and repulsed by the sheer grossness of some of its characters. That grossness, it should be mentioned, doesn’t pertain only to Holmes, who was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison (this has since been reduced several times) for defrauding investors, after the collapse of her sham blood-testing startup Theranos). It has also – perhaps unsurprisingly – led audiences towards other media inspired by Holmes’s downfall. Journalist John Carreyrou’s book, Bad Blood, has returned to the bestseller lists; the ABC News podcast The Dropout, hosted by Rebecca Jarvis reported a 900% surge in listeners; while the Disney/Hulu TV series of the same name enjoyed a 700% bump in viewers, and is now ranked #47 on IMDb’s “Most popular TV shows” list, despite having been released in 2022.

Judith Clark, 77, was the inspiration for Walter’s portrayal of prisoners in the Donmar Warehouse all-female Shakespeare trilogy, including Brutus in Julius Caesar and Prospero in The Tempest.

Первый рабочий день джуниора Данилы. Часть 2. Визит Анастасии Марковны — главбуха

В предыдущей серии: Краткое содержание Части 1


В ИТ-отделе крупной компании "ИнвестБолт", которая знает цену специфики ВЭД с Китаем, наступило начало прекрасного дня: сеньор Михалыч флегматично чистил воблу, тимлид Антон Павлович пил кофе, а амбициозный 22-летний джуниор Данила (самопровозглашенный «Промпт-Архитектор») радовался жизни. Это был его первый официальный рабочий день после долгих месяцев штурма Хедхантера, и Данила чувствовал себя баловнем судьбы. Он искренне верил, что ИИ уже заменил сеньоров, ведь нейросеть по его первому запросу сгенерировала синтаксически идеальный код для управляемых форм.

Идиллия рухнула, когда в отдел влетела менеджер по закупкам Таня с розовой флешкой с «маленьким» прайсом от китайских поставщиков на 300 000 строк Excel, который нужно было загрузить «быстренько и красивенько». Данила не растерялся и скормил ИИ новый промпт. Нейросеть авторитетно заявила, что для кроссплатформенной работы на Linux идеально подходит объект ТабличныйДокумент. Джуниор скопировал код, нажал кнопку «Загрузить» и… серверный процесс rphost сожрал все 64 ГБ оперативной памяти, нагрузил процессор на 100% и упал. База рухнула в разгар закрытия квартала у бухгалтерии, выкинув из системы главбуха Анастасию Марковну.

Опытный сеньор Михалыч отложил воблу, взял маркер и пошел к офисной доске и стал объяснять Даниле, как устроен реальный мир СУБД на физическом уровне.


Часть 2. Визит Анастасии Марковны -  главбуха

Действующие лица:

Анастасия Марковна (Главбух) — 60 лет. Взгляд прожигает насквозь даже тимлида. Причёска в виде монолитного куба, зафиксированная лаком «Прелесть». Носит с собой огромные счёты как холодное оружие.

Первый проект процессной аналитики обычно начинается с выгрузки журнала событий из учетной системы. По нему команда строит цифровой двойник процесса и находит петли и возвраты. Труднее сделать процессную аналитику постоянным рабочим инструментом компании, чтобы работа не закончилась презентацией по итогам пилота. Судя по глобальному опросу Deloitte, это удается не всем: за четыре года доля компаний, которые применяют Process Mining на уровне всей организации, почти не изменилась.

Эта статья — для тех, кто впервые запускает процессную аналитику: будущих руководителей центров компетенций, операционных директоров и процессных аналитиков. Разберем шесть шагов от постановки исследовательских вопросов и выбора процесса до оценки результатов пилота и перехода к постоянному мониторингу. Покажем, как собрать команду, определить KPI и принять решение о масштабировании. Возможности инструментов рассмотрим на примере VK Business Analytics — платформы VK Tech для анализа и оптимизации процессов.

From ‘everyday fixes’, party management and communications to long-term plans for care and pensions, the PM’s six key acts so far

Andy Burnham arrived in Downing Street promising to transform the way Britain works, restore hope and bring an end to years of political division. One hundred days later, the prime minister has announced a series of measures aimed at making everyday life easier, he’s reopened the debate over Britain’s relationship with the EU and set out plans to overhaul public services. He has also managed to maintain an unusually visible public profile, appearing regularly on social media and even taking part in a charity edition of Channel 4’s Gogglebox. Burnham has said he’s been surprised by the public’s appetite for change, insisting his first budget on Wednesday would offer some breathing space for households and businesses.

But the early weeks of his premiership have also exposed tensions between immediate political wins and the structural changes he has promised. Here is how his first 100 days have unfolded in six key ways.

The 104-page ombudsman report, published on Monday, recommends the government change legislation so that aged care workers assessing older Australians for home support packages can amend the outcome when the algorithm-driven assessment tool makes an incorrect decision on funding.

A Coalition MP has called for a rethink of pre-poll voting at federal elections, including potentially shortening the amount of time booths are open, amid concerns of threats to voters and volunteers.

Security risks to politicians and their staff have been front and centre this week, as parliament returned after the alleged attack on Helen Haines, which left the independent MP in a serious but stable condition after both her legs were amputated.

Всё чаще стал замечать, что чем больше разгребаешь задач, тем меньше их не становится. Встречи порождают ещё задачи. Решённые задачи порождают ещё задачи. Список дел со временем приходиться скролить несколько раз. Важные задачи откладываются и перекладываются. Садишься так иной раз в конце рабочего дня и думаешь: «Что я вообще сделал сегодня? Вроде делал много, а то, что планировал, не успел.» В общем я, как и все, столкнулся с проблемой: как организовать работу грамотно.

Далее о том как я искал систему для распределения задач. Только мой личный опыт.

How has Andy Burnham used his first 100 days in power?
Published: 2026-10-27 14:04:23 | Created: 2026-10-27 14:10:03

From ‘everyday fixes’, party management and communications to long-term plans for care and pensions, the PM’s six key acts so far

Andy Burnham arrived in Downing Street promising to transform the way Britain works, restore hope and bring an end to years of political division. One hundred days later, the prime minister has announced a series of measures aimed at making everyday life easier, he’s reopened the debate over Britain’s relationship with the EU and set out plans to overhaul public services. He has also managed to maintain an unusually visible public profile, appearing regularly on social media and even taking part in a charity edition of Channel 4’s Gogglebox. Burnham has said he’s been surprised by the public’s appetite for change, insisting his first budget on Wednesday would offer some breathing space for households and businesses.

But the early weeks of his premiership have also exposed tensions between immediate political wins and the structural changes he has promised. Here is how his first 100 days have unfolded in six key ways.

Are seed oils unhealthy? Why are so many influencers speaking out against them? | Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz

Randomised trials of omega-6s do not show an increase in inflammation caused by the fatty acid

If you’ve been online lately, you’ve probably been bombarded with the discourse about seed oils. Once a completely innocuous food that no one really talked about, they have become the enemy of the moment. Robert F Kennedy Jr, the secretary of health and human services in the US, has called them “toxic” and vowed to act against them. There are countless activewear-clad influencers online saying that nothing harms your health more than these products.

Which is odd, because the Australian dietary guidelines say seed oils are basically fine. You should limit them because they’re high in calories but otherwise there’s no major reason – according to the guidelines and most experts – why you should avoid them. As Prof Lauren Ball, director of the University of Queensland’s Centre for Community Health and Wellbeing, says: “There’s no convincing evidence that eating seed oils like canola or sunflower oil in normal dietary amounts harms our health. In fact, these oils contain unsaturated fats, which are generally beneficial for cardiovascular health.” Dr Jason Wu, a professor at the University of New South Wales, agrees: “The evidence base consistently points to health benefits of eating seed oils.”

‘How on earth is this man not sweating?’ Director Brett Morgen’s painstaking 10-year remaser Bowie’s ‘greatest filmed performance’

Moonage Daydream director Brett Morgan has turned lost footage of two 1978 concerts into an arena spectacular. ‘You can feel the danger and excitement’, he says

• ‘Lost’ 1978 David Bowie tour film to play arenas in 2027, remastered by Moonage Daydream director Brett Morgen

In 2017, when Brett Morgen began work on his acclaimed 2022 David Bowie documentary, Moonage Daydream, he was given complete access to the late star’s entire, cavernous archive. “My eyes were immediately drawn to a stack of gleaming 35mm cans with the word ‘Stage’ written on them,” he remembers.

At first, the director – whose work also includes Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and the Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane – assumed the cans might contain some sort of footage shot around Bowie’s 1978 live album, Stage, recorded in mostly in Philadelphia. However, he soon realised they actually contained the holy grail of Bowie artefacts: footage of the legendary Earl’s Court shows later that year, which had remained unseen for almost 50 years. “Making Moonage Daydream, I had access to every filmed performance in existence of David Bowie,” he says, “but when I saw this one I knew this was without question the greatest filmed performance of his career.”
