This is one of the papers I'm proudest to have been involved in, because it's just such an absolute caricature. If you'd told me three years ago that there'd be an 'unsafe code' feature that also triggered on _images_ of 'turn off safe browsing', I'd have laughed.

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

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.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Product teams

Dismantling Twitter's best feature, Community Notes, because the truth and correcting Russian propaganda is inconvenient. This is after he spent years proudly taking ownership of the program despite it being invented before he purchased the platform.

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter! @LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.

This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet. It’s a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It also features a 1M token context window in beta.

i am glad this chart is public now because it is bananas. it is ridiculous. it should not exist. it should be taken less as evidence about anthropic's execution or potential and more as evidence about how weird the world we've found ourselves in is.
