The Meta-Manus deal is the latest example of what I call “the Great Reversal” where technology no longer just flows from the West to China but now also from China to the West. Will do a High Capacity piece on this and what it means later.

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.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Founders and operators

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.

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.

Breakdown of the Black Friday data tells us: -Consumer is weakening. -95% of sales volume was financed. -67% of that intends not to pay off within 30 days. -Roughly $1B was spent using BNPL models which are the worst debt. This points to a *really* unhealthy economy.

Melania, the documentary no human wants to see, has a budget of $40 million, $28 million of which is “licensing fees” paid to the Trumps. FYI to all the MAGAs who fart out “hE dOnAtEs HiS saLaRy!!”, that one $28 million Bezos bribe is **70 years** worth of presidential salary.

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Perhaps the most important thing everyone needs to know about China’s AI progress: At the most basic level, it’s about talent. And China has a deep talent pool of researchers who have been working on AI for a long time like Zai’s Tang Jie. t.co

I was a bit hesitant to believe the leaked DeepSeek investor call. Seemed almost too good to be true. This makes me a bit less skeptical. If it's real, Liang Wenfeng was incredibly detailed about working with Huawei, chip production bottlenecks, CUDA moat being broken, etc.

Had been hearing rumors Xi would attend World AI Conference this year and that this is why the dates were finalized so late. Shows the significance China places on AI.

This is a really massive unauthorized distillation campaign. For comparison, reported from Anthropic: - DeepSeek: 150,000 exchanges - Moonshot: 3.4 million - MiniMax: 13 million - Alibaba: 28.8 million

Yao Shunyu: OpenAI -> Tencent Wu Yonghui: Google DeepMind -> ByteDance Luo Jianlan: Google DeepMind -> AgiBot Zhou Hao: Google DeepMind -> Alibaba Driven by a mix of US push and China pull factors. By @zijing_wu t.co

Why would top Chinese AI leaders admit so publicly that they’re falling behind the US due to computer constraints? One answer: they’re lobbying Beijing fiercely to get export controls lifted and allow purchases of more powerful Nvidia chips like the H200. t.co
