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

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 by contradicting a common belief, which makes readers stop to disagree or agree.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
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.
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: Contrarian opener
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: People building with AI
