Nathan Lambert on AI

Both OpenAI Pro sub and Gemini Ultra sub right now are pretty bad deals for most people at $200+/mo, but great deals for a small handful of people. I don't even know where I land. These subs feel like gym memberships guilting me to use more AI.

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.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
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.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Specificity, Pattern interrupt
Written for: People building with AI
