Out of respect for Elon and to avoid discrediting him, the whole time we were working together, and even after he quit, we tried to avoid correcting his false narratives in public. Looking forward to finally having an opportunity to talk about the real history of OpenAI.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

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.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: People building with AI

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

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.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

More from Greg Brockman

we are committed to business privacy, and we're working on technical and policy approaches to benefit our customers while also enhancing safety. introducing Private Safety Processing, which we've been investing in for some time:

defenders can see the future, and have a narrow window to uplevel their cybersecurity practices now. key is to uplevel fundamentals and apply the best AI tools. what we’re doing at OpenAI, and where other organizations can start: t.co

Evaluations of our next major model, Astra, indicate significant capability advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity. Team is doing the safety and security work to make Astra broadly available, and get its advanced cyber capabilities into the hands of defenders:

ten significant advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science. solved using an internal version of Astra, our next major model, for a total cost of about $2000 at Sol API prices:

we also are releasing fast mode for sol in the API (2.5x faster!) and decreased the price of terra by 20%. our north star is to provide the best price for any given level of intelligence, and to provide the maximum ceiling of intelligence.

we've cut prices on luna by 80%, making it by far the most price-efficient model in its class. a lot of our research is about how to create incredibly efficient models for any given level of intelligence. excited to see what you all do with intelligence too cheap to meter!
