Weirdly, Anthropic says only 2% of new signups are affected, but as far as I can tell, this is the new pricing page *for everyone* (tried on several devices, in congnitio, same screen, this is not an A/B test as far as I can tell) t.co

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

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.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
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.

Exiting a market is understandable and Uber has done it many times before. Each time, it gave a few weeks of heads up, then shut down, paid drivers + offboarded, closed operations No idea why it would not follow the “usual” playbook Suggests it will never go back

Ok, THIS is wild, never expected anything like this: Uber exited Nigeria… no warning, just shut down the app, on the spot. When riders were mid-trip ?!! This is what a startup that just went bankrupt would do, not a $150B corporation. Uber operated in Nigeria since 2014 (!!)

To everyone who said or liked posts on “SaaS is dead! AI is killing it” - no it’s not: Meta will be paying Slack easily ~$20M/year for a chat product Ask yourself: if they could build something with 2 devs + AI why not do it? They’d save SO MUCH. Because they clearly cannot!!

I just heard: a large company is moving from GChat (Google's Chat product) to Slack, because... Slack has much better agent operability (true) Who thought AI+agents would be a big selling point for Slack? Or that Google would sleep on agents + GChat!

This is what the government defending its residents looks like Make no mistake: NONE of this self-restraint is voluntary. It’s after Meta lost a lawsuit to California (class action by 29 states) about platform child safety. If they don’t do, they’ll be regulated stricter

Damn: 160 employees $100M revenue 177% net revenue retention (a customer who spent $100 a year ago now spends $177) Full-remote Basically no emails Obsessed with performance Some of the best engineers I worked with before now work at Linear Linear is 🔥
