I am disappointed in OpenAI's decision to work with the Department of War. The way DoW treated Anthropic stands against everything that makes America great. It know it's not this simple, but it feels super opportunistic in a way that doesn't sit right with me.

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.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

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

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.

I get why they’re doing it though. I had a brand decline working with me because “you only get 100,000 views, this other guy is half your price and gets 70,000 views” The “other guy” was getting those views on X, where “views” count API responds with your post ID.

The cost to performance chart is the most interesting. 3.5 Flash is "more expensive" and "dumber" than gpt-5.5 on medium gpt-5.5-medium: 22m tokens, $1,199, 57 points gemini-3.5-flash: 73m tokens, $1,522, 55 points

Gemini 3.5 Flash is a really interesting release. It's super fast and surprisingly smart. It's also more expensive (3x more per token) and super token hungry. The result - it costs 2x more to run than Gemini 3.1 Pro on similar tasks. It's more expensive than GPT-5.5 Medium.

If you use any of the following with your Claude sub, your usage must got cut by 25x: - T3 Code - Conductor - zed - jean - “Claude -p” in your ci - scripts to call Claude code from other tools They’re disguising this as “free credits”. Don’t fall for it.

I don’t love how hard they are trying to spin this as a win. It’s a direct downgrade for us. Use the crappy desktop app from Claude? $5k+ in subsidized tokens. Use T3 Code to programmatically call Claude? $200 then you get billed.
