“So there’s this Chinese company called DeepSeek which basically does what OpenAI initially intended to do. They open-sourced a model trained with large-scale reinforcement learning, beating everyone else, and even releasing a paper detailing their process“

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

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

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

Disney has cancelled their deal with OpenAI. They planned to invest $1 billion into the company and let Sora have access to AI generate videos of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. (Source: t.co

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

Don't let Anthropic fool you - it's literally just an LLM with scaled-up pre-training and post-training. As it's an LLM, it is only good at stuff humans have already done; it cannot invent new things. Anthropic themselves consider the catastrophic risks low

SAM-3 is out on @huggingface! A big upgrade from SAM-2, and Meta finally added support for text prompts. Here I tried it out on @hazardeden10's magical goal against @Arsenal using the text prompt "Chelsea player" Works pretty well!

It makes me a bit sad that amazing research like the one below isn't pursued a lot anymore due to the LLM era People just give up cause they think an LLM will beat them. Wrong. There are so many research directions to be explored, so many new architectures to be uncovered

Unpopular opinion: benchmarks like these are moving the field in the wrong direction No I don't want an AI to be able to memorize (useless?) questions like "How many paired tendons are supported by a sesamoid bone?" in its weights I want the "intern", as @karpathy is suggesting
