Dario endorses recursive self improvement here, at least partially. He repeatedly calls 2026-2027 the tipping point. The big reveal for me was that Sonnet 'cost a few $10M's to train' and that Sonnet was 'not trained in any way that involved a larger or more expensive model'.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
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: personal, concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: People building with AI
