It's sooo weird to me that not a single of these ~100 ex-Meta/GDM/OAI people in this new AI startup comes to my mind. Surely I must know at least a dozen or so of them? It's out of stealth now, you hid well, now show yourselves :) I mean this in all seriousness, I'm perplexed!

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

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
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.
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.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic, punchy
Written for: People building with AI
