Do you think vibing the UI of Google search would even scratch the surface of helping you understand the complexity that sits beneath it?? For what important app would vibe coding a simulation help? Just seems like yet another case of busy work masquerading as tokenmaxxing.

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 question, so the reader starts answering before they have decided to read.
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.

The mechanics

Hook: Opens with a question
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Product teams

Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA. We're holding X accountable for: 🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’ 🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository 🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers ↓

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter! @LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.

Amazon is testing a new “AI English Dub” feature for anime and it’s genuinely fucking putrid and insanely disrespectful to actual human actors who put their life and soul into both the Dubs and Subs of these shows Fuck you @PrimeVideo @amazon

One reason vibe coding is so addictive is that you are always *almost* there but not 100% there. The agent implements an amazing feature and got maybe 10% of the thing wrong, and you are like "hey I can fix this if i just prompt it for 5 more mins" And that was 5 hrs ago

o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use. this is a coding agent that runs on your computer. it is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve.

Fable 5.1 is our best model yet for coding, data analysis, computer use, design, presentations, Tag, and the hardest long-running agentic work. This model is a pleasure to work with, and I've been using it for everything.

One thing that has surprised me is that shorts of @theallinpod are growing very quickly. And overall usage ramp shows this kind of content driving a huge portion of our growth. Bad news if your content format is 30-90mins. People love 1-2min.

This is probably a good time to remind everyone that US AI companies try to honor copyright laws for pre-training our best models while the Chinese models do not. If there is a level playing field, American companies will most assuredly win the AI race.

Unfortunate but accurate. The engineer’s role will be supervisory, at best, within 18months. Building tools for them will be roadkill for the model makers product roadmap.

LLMs have quickly become a consumer surplus. What does this mean? Tons of investment + scorched earth economics = consumers win no matter which company ultimately wins. It’s amazing to see how fast this has happened in a market this important.
