Midjourney is opening a health spa in downtown San Francisco with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges and a new form of medical imaging that they have created, the full body ultrasound. They can do a scan in 60 seconds. They want to deploy 50,000 of them over the next 6 years.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Engineers and technical teams

Wow, seems like Google is buying Spirit Airlines' enterprise data for $10m (outbidding Mercor at $7.5m). Basically includes every internal document, email, workflow, and codebase for a once $6B company. Honestly, $10m for 34 years of operational data really seems like a steal.

Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan. Pro users wanting it need Max now. $100/month minimum. 5x jump. I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine. Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out. No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.

major price cuts today: *80% drop for GPT-5.6 Luna, now $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output *20% drop for GPT-5.6 Terra, to $2/$12 *GPT-5.6 Sol gets Fast mode in the API, up to 2.5x the speed for 2x the price, same intelligence

amazon's internal A.I. coding assistant decided the engineers' existing code was inadequate so the bot deleted it to start from scratch that resulted in taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours and was not the first time it had happened incredible t.co

I think @bot is another “Claude Code” moment for AI. I would estimate my personal AI usage is up something like 100x. And for everyone who reached out about how to build a “podcast summarizer” it took me about 15 seconds in Grok Bot and is better than what I had before.

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

This is probably one of the highest IRR VC investments of all time Martin / A16Z led the series A ~2 years ago at a $400M valuation… now Cursor is acquired for $60B. ~120x return in 2 years after accounting for dilution… ~1000% IRR, and a 10 digit gain for LP’s!

OpenAI’s hardware product is a donut-shaped smart speaker the size of a hockey puck, with a camera, speakers, microphones, and lights. $300-400 Certainly seems like that product @jgebbia was spotted with in SF could be a prototype

Jeff Dean (30th employee of Google, there since 1999) is leaving to start a company with @Sanjay_Ghemawat& other Google AI leadership. He raised a round from Radical VC, Khosla and Google, size not reported $GOOG -4% today

Bending Spoons is acquiring Airtable for $2.25B Airtable has $965M of cash, so the EV is $1.285B. Airtable had raised $1.35B of VC capital, last round Dec ‘21 at $11.7B. At ~$480M ARR growing 20%+ YoY, that’s 2.7x ARR. Surprised they are selling with so much cash!

Apple claimed OpenAI was ignoring them and then sued over stolen trade secrets. Turns out Apple’s counsel sent the notice to the wrong email after mixing up 2 Asian last names🤦🏽‍♂️! Love airing of dirty laundry direct to the public. Doubt Apple will respond the same way.

MSFT putting $2.5B and 6,000 engineers in “Frontier Co” Now Microsoft, Amazon, OpenAI and Anthropic are all in the Palantir-like deployco business.
