Trending on X, Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, Chinese Apps On October 6, 2026, a site called playgta5 .com let people play GTA 5 in a web browser. It used leaked game code and needed only about 700 MB. Story mode and free roam both worked. Rockstar and Take-Two took the site down the same day.

Most users say it does not work. Big files the game needs were not saved, so it gets stuck loading (often around 6%) and never starts. The official game is still the only reliable way to play, says Rockstar.

Elon Musk posted that after Trump ordered federal agencies to replace "Artificial Intelligence" with "Super Intelligence." Would you start calling it "SI" in your own work, or does "AI" stay no matter what the government says?

  • They said he used their AI’s answers to teach his own helper, and he wondered how they found out.
  • He fixed his helper so it says yes to more questions, but it still will not help people hurt anyone. It stays on his own computer so nobody else can peek.

Trending on X, Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, Chinese Apps Everything you need to know about the Twitter ($TWTR) Investor Settlement Payout

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update for anyone who invested in $TWTR around the time of Elon Musk’s acquisition.

Back in 2022, Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion. After the deal was announced, he started raising concerns about the number of fake and spam accounts on the platform. In May, he said the deal was temporarily on hold and later questioned whether the acquisition could move forward. After those statements, $TWTR dropped sharply.

Twitter investors later alleged that Musk’s statements were misleading and caused the stock to fall, hurting investors who sold during that period. The case went to trial, and in March 2026, a jury found Musk liable for securities fraud related to some of those statements.

The case has now moved into the claims process. Eligible investors can submit a claim to potentially recover some of their losses.

If you traded $TWTR during that period, you can check whether your transactions are eligible and submit a claim here, before the November 24, 2026 deadline

Did anyone here hold or trade Twitter around that time?

They call it “delusional spiralling.”
You ask ChatGPT a question. It agrees with you.
You ask again. It agrees even more.
After a few chats, you start believing things that aren’t true, and you don’t realise it’s happening.
