of all the folks opining abt AI on twitter, Colin is one of the ones who reliably tests in public instead of just prognosticating so i take his POV seriously when he points to why this insane stuff might have happened today

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

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: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
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

the Department of Justice filed what it calls an "historic" letter of interest in the NYT vs OpenAI/MSFT lawsuit, supporting OpenAI. Trump admin argues it is in the "national interest" to support OAI in the copyright case. NYT sent us statement with vigorous pushback below:

Meta is going full bore with pushing other companies to add the same restrictions it will add to its apps as a part of settlement: Meta plans to run this copy as a full page print advertisement in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the New York Times tomorrow morning

the Meta settlement money figure is a rounding error compared to Meta's annual capex on AI — especially when it's amortized over the next *ten years* but these required product changes could actually significant if they are enforced, not easily bypassed by kids

because i cast a mountain’s worth of shade at SpaceX IPO pitch and fair is fair, the numbers thrown around for total addressable market (or TAM) are so funny either you buy into the argument that this will eat the economy or you dont. but the street no longer flinches hearing it

google earth rollback faster than i anticipated. genuinely surprised this feature made it out the door at all. not hard to see how there is a meaningful difference in "well anyone can generate altered AI mapping images" to "adding this as a button to a google-scale product"

News — in an interview, Mark Zuckerberg blasts "centralization" of A.I. power and calls out some of the "doom" from other leading A.I. labs...i.e. Anthropic and OpenAI (though not by name) w/ @elitanjourno t.co
