Thank you @OpenAI for sharing a more informative post-mortem on ChatGPT’s unintended changes! The ability to influence the psychology of 500M people is a massive responsibility and transparency is key to ensuring trust is maintained throughout the likely-tumultuous future.

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

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
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: energetic, concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity
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

claude opus 4.5 is finally out! my favorite change thus far: claude FINALLY has perfect 20-20 vision and is no longer visually impaired! throw huge screenshots and images and notice a huge improvement. much better at tool calls and the usual b2b SaaS (as well as b2b sass)! fun

"you posted this before near why are you posting it again" eight sleep released a pillow cover for $1,000 which comes with a $400/year "Elite Autopilot Plan" so i felt it was a good time to remind everyone

veo3 is far too pricey to use just for personal fun all the time, so the primary high-volume use case will be for bulk youtube shorts monetiziation. this is the first time (i think?) an sota genai model provider also owns the resulting distribution of much of what users will make

opus 4 review: its a good model i was an early tester and found that it combines much of what people loved about sonnet 3.6 and 3.7 (and some opus!) into something which is much greater than the parts amazing at long-term tasks, intelligent tool usage, and helping you write!

by the way, pay close attention to the usage of the word “like” in this post. it’s not technically a lie, so that makes it okay. there is no mention of how the model was tested, passed all tests, and was then green-lit for 100M daily users. and there is unlikely to ever be one.

I have many great friends that now refuse to visit me in the US. I also know people working at US AGI labs that are scared of traveling around in case they get nabbed on a technicality, have their visa taken, and lose their job. I'm glad I'm a citizen but I consider it over tbh
