From @JoannaStern's great video review of the @1x_tech Neo of today (she makes it clear this isn't what's shipping in 2026). For now, it's all remote operated and it's *still* struggling a little to do basic stuff. This isn't crapping on it, it just that this stuff is HARD.

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

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Written for: Indie hackers and solo founders

Some news: I’ve heard from three sources that CBS News dismissed the #2 producer on the CBS Evening News, Javier Guzman, after the show tonight. Unclear what the rationale was, but led to confusion in the newsroom… and it’s only week 1 of the show.

I don't know how long Hank Green has been using AI but the lack of self awareness was there from day 1 he has always been extremely susceptible to reality tunnels wherein he disregards entire bodies of argument because he's already picked the Smart Guy Answer
