In case folks need the context, the majority of consumer PCs sold annually (~120-140M depending on the year) are in the sub $700-800 price tier. 95% or more Windows-based. In markets outside US price tier is under $600. This is where Apple is targeting Macbook Neo.

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

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
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.
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: concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity
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.

Just listening to this commentary with folks from @OpenAI here at the AWS event you can tell earnings call tomorrow on both Amazon and Microsoft will be spicy. Already hearing this deal with AWS is negative to Azure.

If our Intel foundry model is even ballpark correct, an Apple deal for 15-20m chip (assuming monolithic) is enough to guarantee 14A even if it is on 18A-P. That said, we still have a high degree of confidence that Intel has more customers coming for foundry 18A-P and 14A.

Made on the most advanced process technology in the United States by @intel. Happy to finally be able to talk about all we learned last week in AZ! Fab 52 was the most sophisticated automation I’ve ever seen in a fab.

In our post WWDC QA, Apple confirming they built a host of their own foundational models and used a host of licensed content to train and fine tune their models. Essentially 99% of Apple Intelligence is powered by Apple's own proprietary FMs.

Federighi, just prior to showing the ChatGPT integration said "we want you to access external models" which makes it sound like most of Apple Intelligence is powered by Apple's own proprietary models. Seems GPT is just for web searches and composing fresh writing.
