The edge lord disrespect, unprofessionalism, strategic blundering typical of actual decision making in the AI industry speaks infinitely louder than all the voluntary safety pledges ever could. In fact, those pledges serve mainly to highlight how far the walk is from the talk.

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

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: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

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

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

PSA: Signal will never do this ❤️😇 We don’t collect your data in the first place, so we don’t have anything to “mine” for “AI” t.co

TLDR: to 'solve' trash content on trash surveillance platforms, BigTech AI will flag whether content is 'good' or not. Can we please stop falling for this? This isn't 'solving' the problem. It's simply consolidating control over platforms w/o attending to who will wield it.

Voice cloning AI isn't new + the risks have been known for ages, as has the fact that the "benefits" don't justify the risks Cynically, this looks like a performance of "judicious caution" meant to give MS execs an e.g. of "self regulation working" they can reference if pressed.

📢NEW FROM ME! On the TikTok ban, the danger of abandoning defense of speech to extremists, & how the liberal tendency to assume a just state "outside the scope of this paper" leads to confused law/policy that can exacerbate the problems platforms pose. t.co
