For giggles, I checked how this AI company @Seekr_io currently rates the "reliability" of stories on Kevin McCarthy's ouster as speaker. VERY HIGH: Breitbart, Daily Mail, NY Post, OANN, ZeroHedge, WashTimes VERY LOW: Bloomberg, NYT, BBC, Guardian, ABC, NBC, Time, Politico 🤔

Sites whose McCarthy stories Seek rates "VERY HIGH" in reliability:

BREITBART
DAILY MAIL
JUSTTHENEWS.COM
MONTANARIGHTNOW.COM
NEW YORK POST
OANN
THE BLAZE
WASHINGTON TIMES
WESTERN JOURNAL
ZEROHEDGE

Sites whose McCarthy stories Seekr rates "VERY LOW" in reliability:

ABC NEWS
BBC NEWS
BLOOMBERG
LOS ANGELES TIMES
NBC NEWS
POLITICO

Disney has cancelled their deal with OpenAI. They planned to invest $1 billion into the company and let Sora have access to AI generate videos of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. (Source: t.co

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Viral score

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

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: People building with AI
