Social media platform TikTok has permanently banned advertising for a documentary about Elon Musk, marking the latest instance of resistance from online platforms for the film. This comes as Replit, a collaborative coding platform, announced it is shifting its default AI model provider from Anthropic to OpenAI, though Anthropic's models will remain accessible.
In other tech developments, Financial Times noted that Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform formerly known as Twitter, now X, may have already paid for itself by some measures. Meanwhile, Apple's new HomeView smart display is being seen as a potential disruptor for online recipe writers, and Mark Wahlberg is launching a new, more affordable gym concept focused on longevity.
