Depending how charitable you want to be, LastPass has been popped somewhere between 2-5 times. So far. They are a password manager. How on earth do they have customers at this point?

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 question, which is the most reliable way to turn readers into repliers.
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 → Invitation
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders and operators

Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

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.

The dude though, yikes. Retained access to Apple systems post departure (great job Apple Corp Infosec; take a bow!), told other Apple folks to bring stuff with them. But no evidence yet that OpenAI as an entity sanctioned this.

I think it's fair to say at this point that Anthropic is not a trustworthy company. I have verified this myself in 2.1.91 as well as current 2.1.197. Sneaky steganographic embeds in a ships-to-customers product is a line best not crossed.

Somewhere a Meta product doc says the support agent has “account modification capabilities to better assist users.” In other words it can hijack your Instagram and the only auth check is whether you typed a convincing sentence. Can’t wait for their “cloud.”

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but getting the literal Pope to canonize your product's specific technical limitations as a spiritual treatise is the single greatest act of vendor lobbying I have ever seen.

Amazon set weekly AI usage targets for employees, and now they're using an internal Claude clone called MeshClaw to do pointless work to hit quota. Congratulations on inventing the billable hour from first principles.

Huh. Amazon's free cash flow has collapsed by 95%, because basically every dollar in the door goes back out as concrete, GPUs, and substations. CapEX went up $59.3B. Net income was $30.3B. $16.8B of that is a pre-tax paper gain from marking up their Anthropic stake
