This is going to have some very profound effects E-Commerce and the Gig Economy have generated lots of jobs globally in the last 20 years Self-driving cars, automated warehouses, and drone deliveries will reverse that

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: Founders, marketers and operators

Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500. This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along. Crypto is here to stay.

Amazon has announced they're phasing out their checkout-less grocery stores. The "Just Walk Out" technology, which was labeled as automatic, was actually 1,000+ Indian employees monitoring you as you walked through the store. t.co

Having GoG as a private entity rather than dealing with shareholders of CD PROJEKT is only a good thing for customers and gamers If GoG can refocus and make a Linux version of Galaxy while also creating a better storefront/platform for congregating game libraries, its a win imo

Valve is doing a great job building a true gaming ecosystem with a unified OS that spans multiple devices. If they lean into retail expansion and ramp up marketing, they could really break out of the niche space they currently occupy in hardware and compete with the big 3.

Can confirm Pokopia is a hit for Nintendo (& Koei Tecmo + Game Freak) Sold out at retail (retailers underestimated demand), record digital sales uptake, visible boost to Switch 2 hardware sales at retailers. Looks like the system seller they needed in H1 2026.

I talked recently to the founder of an AI startup, and he was as effusive about Nvidia as a retail investor. Their moat is not only large but was also very cleverly constructed over a long period of time.

OK. But why was Jensen pumping 80B-100B few weeks ago?? More Jensen Math/Finesse? "The total investment required for each gigawatt of AI Data center capacity has risen from $30B five years ago to around $60B today."

"Sam Altman believes OpenAI will have an internal system that will qualify as AGI by the end of 2026." So, 10T-15T is all u need for AGI This also means that a bunch of companies will have an AGI-level model by H1 2027 in the US & China

Well, Nvidia has to sell 10M chips to lots of companies next year I'm pretty sure OpenAI will be super satisfied if 25%-35% of the compute deployed by them uses Jalapeno and its successors in 2028 and beyond They don't need/have to scale like Nvidia/Rubin

OpenAI cut Luna prices from $1/$6 to $0.2/$1.20 A 5x price cut OpenAI begins the price war, with the goal of crushing the Chinese players Not going after Anthropic's margins yet

"new robot ban" Basically the same approach that the FCC took with Chinese drones U can import all the current Unitree robots, but new robot models are not allowed

Amazon/AWS being a defence contractor was the main reason Based on what Axios has reported, USG didn't want the model to be released publicly Ant refused and they were/are using AWS infra to deploy it If a major cybersecurity incident occured, then Amazon would get sued
