A good catch by France. Apple could have used App Tracking Transparency as a helpful service for users and developers, but instead built useless scare screens as an anticompetitive weapon to benefit its ad business and harm competition. t.co

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.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
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: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Marketers and content teams

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

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Hear me out: More people my age have texted me personally saying they listened to VP Harris on Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy podcast compared to any other legacy media source. And they say they now know VP Harris so much better. The Harris campaign knows what it’s doing.

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

Is this the "fair competition" praised by recent articles? If a store with dominant market share taking a 30% cut can bully developers into not passing on savings to customers on competing stores with lower fees, then competition doesn't stand a chance.

Google is opening up Android all the way with robust support for competing stores, competing payments, and a better deal for all developers. So, we've settled all of our disputes worldwide. THANKS GOOGLE!

AI Darth Vader in Fortnite last year and now Gemini's pure world model show how fast AI is evolving. We'll see constant leapfrogging between engine centric AI and world model centric AI until they come together for maximum effect.

World models have huge advantages in vast knowledge of the world and ability to mash up varied content and styles. Engines have huge advantages in a stable representation of the world, reproducible simulation, and GPU and power efficient rendering.

Justifiable costs? Likely $10's to $100's per app review, not a percentage of developer revenue. This is the beginning of true, untaxed competition in payments worldwide on iOS.

Big yikes: Google will confiscate, for itself, all profits made from AI content on YouTube. AI should be a tool for enhancing human creativity and opportunity. Now Google has made it plain that they see it solely as a means to take from creators for themselves.
