the Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power

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

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
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: Hiring managers and founders

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

guess who got laid off today! 🫠 i am genuinely so confused and bewildered like, i spent the past week debugging the rivalry system while recovering from pneumonia and just in the past few days i’ve had multiple directors tell me how much they appreciate everything i do

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

Kamala Harris has and will interview with: -Howard Stern -Rickey Smiley -Call Her Daddy -Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson (All The Smoke) -Oprah -60 Minutes -The View -Stephen Colbert -Dana Bash/CNN -Stephanie Ruhle/MSNBC -Univision But I’m told she isn’t doing media. 🙄

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

We won. Starmer abandons plans for compulsory Digital ID. This is a HUGE win. Well done to EVERYONE who has been fighting - from all political parties and none. A team effort. It proves that we can make progress when we come together to fight this appalling Labour Government.

the Department of Justice filed what it calls an "historic" letter of interest in the NYT vs OpenAI/MSFT lawsuit, supporting OpenAI. Trump admin argues it is in the "national interest" to support OAI in the copyright case. NYT sent us statement with vigorous pushback below:

Meta is going full bore with pushing other companies to add the same restrictions it will add to its apps as a part of settlement: Meta plans to run this copy as a full page print advertisement in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the New York Times tomorrow morning

the Meta settlement money figure is a rounding error compared to Meta's annual capex on AI — especially when it's amortized over the next *ten years* but these required product changes could actually significant if they are enforced, not easily bypassed by kids

because i cast a mountain’s worth of shade at SpaceX IPO pitch and fair is fair, the numbers thrown around for total addressable market (or TAM) are so funny either you buy into the argument that this will eat the economy or you dont. but the street no longer flinches hearing it

google earth rollback faster than i anticipated. genuinely surprised this feature made it out the door at all. not hard to see how there is a meaningful difference in "well anyone can generate altered AI mapping images" to "adding this as a button to a google-scale product"

News — in an interview, Mark Zuckerberg blasts "centralization" of A.I. power and calls out some of the "doom" from other leading A.I. labs...i.e. Anthropic and OpenAI (though not by name) w/ @elitanjourno t.co
