This dude on FB Marketplace has multiple listing for heavy Caterpillar industrial equipment superimposed with AI-generated female models. Must have industry-leading click through rates. Absolutely crying rn.

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.
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: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

Disney has cancelled their deal with OpenAI. They planned to invest $1 billion into the company and let Sora have access to AI generate videos of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. (Source: t.co

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

We’ve reached the part of Freddy’s journey when a private jet operator, two $5B+ airlines and the Governor of Utah are sliding into his DMs so he can make it to Canada to watch the German World Cup team play. Incredible.

Steph Curry signed a 10-year deal with Li Ning. The Chinese sportswear firm has $6B market cap. Curry must’ve got huge equity and can only assume they’ll somehow make a robotics AI play like this automated rebounding and passing machine the Warriors use.

Jensen took a last-minute flight to Beijing. Only took one bag and two outfits. Landed for a party, then spent a day eating mystery street meat and noodles while drinking any beverage that was offered. Classic early-20s Asia backpacking trip.

Incredible move by Ryan Cohen to finance GameStop’s $56B acquisition of eBay. Listed items on eBay under the user name ryan_5050 and already secured bids for top-tier lots including used socks ($4,200) and sealed box for Windows 2000 Server installation disk ($771). Well played.

Never been a better shoe launch marketing than Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3. Sebastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha break 2hr at London Marathon 2026 wearing it (Tigst Assefa set women’s record with it too). Limited release ($500) sells out in minutes and resold StockX for ~$1900.

Spirit Airlines has 200+ Airbus planes. Including spare parts, they have ~500 Pratt & Whitney Turbofan engines. Use those engines to kickstart a pivot to operate data centres and become a provider of AI compute. Minimum $50B company right there.
