I am a huge TBPN fan + was deeply honored to join the show a while back... and I'm sure they have good reasons for this/got a good deal. But from an OAI POV, I also think this confirms the Sora thing was a one-off amidst a compute crunch, not a real sign of greater focus

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 → Turn
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.

Memory price hikes have finally started hitting Apple. Today, they raised some base prices: Macbook Neo: $599 -> $699 Macbook Air: $1099 -> $1299 Macbook Pro: $1699 -> $1999 Mac Studio: $1999 -> $2499 iPad Air $599 - $749 iPad Pro: $999 -> $1199

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.

One of the reasons I decided to go all in on frontier AI auditing after leaving OpenAI is so that, if AI companies need to take costly steps on safety/security, they can be reassured (by independent auditors) that their peers are doing the same thing. t.co

I think Ilya really cares about safety, but also superintelligence is dangerous regardless of who builds it And as a reminder, a lot of AI regulation on the books + in draft form does not cover SSI, because of revenue requirements t.co

Very fortunate for OpenAI that the victims of their accidental autonomous cyberattack were very chill about it!!! Also, reminder that there are no minimum safety or security standards for frontier AI (just light transparency reqs), and no auditing requirement until 2028 (!).

This is not an AI pause. It's the government thrashing around after realizing that the people who told them AI was NBD were wrong, and being severely understaffed. AI development is not even close to stopped RN + this is not what you'd do if you wanted it to stop

Shout out to Bores-heads who fought hard in the NY-12 primary Winning would’ve been better but it was close against a governor/Bloomberg-backed candidate with a Kennedy dude splitting the vote It’s clear that being the pro AI regulation candidate helped, which is a key takeaway

Again, agree Dwarkesh did a good job but I want to add one nuance - most journalists covering AI couldn't do that interview even if they wanted to be "tough," because they don't have enough knowledge to confidently disagree with Jensen's pushback t.co
