As companies approach AGI it would be illogical for most not to go and work there. AGI is a much bigger deal than most people still seem to believe & it is only by most forecasts a few years away (if not arrived already!).

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

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
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: energetic
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.

Without Hugging Face the launch and scaling of stable diffusion & the models that followed would only have been a fraction of what they were. Great and super engaged team who have constantly flown the flag for open source 🤗

I see a lot of my TL freaking out about this Here is the reality: Frontier models will one shot just about anything at 10,000 tokens per second in a few years Do you really think we can monitor that? Would need speed limits on the model that it would code around anyway

I would like to publicly commend @sama and @OpenAI for this taking it at face value. It is very clear that strange and perhaps dangerous things are happening and our systems are not ready for this. Models below frontier are competent enough to change lives so lets optimse

imo GDPVal is probably the most important benchmark, it measures the performance of models on real world tasks Big leap in performance here to top it at a great price, congrats to @SpaceXAI team & looking forward to the even bigger releases to come! t.co

No human input, channeling the latent space of the new models. GPT 5.6 Sol is probably the first model I've used that doesn't make mistakes on maths. As we move to Astra & beyond I don't know how humans can keep up on math. Any pure research program is a harness loop away.

As shocking as the Kimi K3 release. Massive performance gain was just with post-training Model is 3x smaller than GLM 5.2 (10x smaller than K3) & works on a MacBook / Spark This is Q1 flagship (Opus 4.6/GPT 5.4) level for < $0.28/m tokens (100x cheaper)
