Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: punchy
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

Anthropic just dropped an insane new paper. AI models can "fake alignment" - pretending to follow training rules during training but reverting to their original behaviors when deployed! Here's everything you need to know: 🧵

It’s embarrassing but the Jimmy Kimmel debacle actually is important. It was the first real attempt by the Project 2025 movement to flex their muscle against someone who wasn’t a nameless, defenseless nobody and it catastrophically flopped in less than a week.

So much cope about DeepSeek. Not only did they release a great model. they also released a breakthrough training method (R1 Zero) that’s already reproducing. I doubt they lied about training costs, but even if they did they’re still awesome for this great gift to the world.

The Artemis II team did photography training and dry runs for moon pass-by with an inflatable moon. Victor Glover said these practice runs completely changed how he understood importance of the mission. Christina Koch wanted to “tell a story” and share the “awe and grandeur.”

Famously, human learning takes *very little* energy. A toddler learns thousands of words and an entire grammar while eating nothing but raspberries, before learning to read. An LLM needs a nuclear reactor and the entire internet as a training corpus.

First recovery in the ByBit hack. ~$43m (15,000 cmETH) has been clawed back from the hacker. I saw the recovery possibility soon after the hack and SEAL connected me with Mantle/mETH team who made it happen. Huge shoutout to SEAL, Mantle, and mETH teams for their quick action.

Mainstream media has reported dubious results of a study indicating that the use of multivitamins is not associated with a reduction in mortality risk, but even if this were true, does it really mean they offer no benefit for health? t.co

A recent study suggests that use of medications commonly prescribed for ADHD treatment is associated with increased risk of certain cardiovascular conditions, but does it exceed the risks associated with untreated ADHD? t.co

Researchers have recently discovered that a new drug called locamidazole may help to prevent loss of bone density and muscle mass during periods of inactivity, but it’s no substitute for all of the benefits of exercise. t.co

This week on The Drive, I discuss the use of GLP-1 agonists for weight loss. Most notably, semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). I also discuss metformin as a geroprotective agent, and more, including: Watch/listen: t.co

“A calorie is a calorie” seems like a simple and obvious statement. But do different macronutrients vary in their ability to drive obesity? A recent study by @KevinH_PhD and colleagues provides new clues – and likely new fodder for debate. t.co

In this clip from my recent appearance on @hubermanlab, Andrew and I discuss the Women’s Health Initiative study, hormone replacement therapy for women, and a range of important topics related to women’s health. You can watch the full conversation here: t.co
