New by me: There's a new AI evaluation called "Humanity's Last Exam," with ~3,000 questions drawn from leading academics and experts. It's the hardest AI test ever — today, no model gets above 10% — but researchers expect 50% scores by the end of the year. Anyway, carry on!

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

Admits a failure or a cost, which buys trust that a polished post cannot.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
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 → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic, punchy
Mechanisms: Vulnerability
Written for: People building with AI
