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: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

Today Dario admits that Anthropic only planned for 10x growth but got hit with 80x instead Internally called a “success disaster” Their compute effectively is off by a factor of 8x or more Now do the outages, rate limits, nerfed performance make sense? We need more compute!

Today we're opening up the DoorDash CLI in limited beta. `dd-cli` lets you order DoorDash directly from your agent: search stores, find the best deals, check out, and more. Early access for US/Canadian macOS developers by waitlist. Excited to see what folks build!

Today we're announcing our Series C funding: $355M at a $4.65B valuation, led by some great investors @generalcatalyst and @Redpoint. We've had insane growth in the last year, but we're still very early. So proud of the team and what we have built so far!

I think China's second DeepSeek moment is here. This AI agent called 'Manus' is going crazy viral in China right now. Probably only a matter of time until it hits the US. It's like Deep Research + Operator + Claude Computer combined, and it's REALLY good.

A viral moment of Nvidia’s Jensen Huang having chimaek (fried chicken and beer) in South Korea may have made investors hungry as well. Huang sent Korean fried chicken stocks soaring after his outing with Samsung's Jay Y Lee and Hyundai's Chung Euisun t.co

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.
