The message that this headline conveys is at odds with what people inside the big labs are actually feeling / saying. It’s technically correct, but the takeaway for the casual reader (AI progress is slowing) is exactly the opposite of what I am hearing

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

Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
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 → Payoff
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
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.

Tea leaves: In order to be competitive today Google needs to catch up on frontier coding. Demis believes different fundamental research directions (like world models) are more important to his long term goal even if they’re less impt competitively today

pretty cool to have the kicker in this @WSJ piece on OpenAI vs Anthropic! i stand behind this…has been pretty clear since early spring that the momentum is shifting to @openai it’s a fascinating comeback story t.co

I predicted this might happen on on @lennysan’s pod last year Higher productivity from each individual employee with AI, makes it appealing to reshore certain jobs back to the US to be close to customers

Claude Cowork isn't chat—it's async AI for the rest of us. Ask your computer to do something. Walk away. Come back to results. Claude Code users know this feeling. Now non-technical folks get it too.

In less than a month @OpenAI launched a totally new social media app / format AND a new browser. Can anyone remember a time when companies this size were shipping so fast? It’s a new benchmark for the velocity of world class software teams.
