i think a lot of ink is going to be spilt on this interview, but my strong view is there is no theory in the world today that isn't best expressed in a company, there are no companies that are not theories. the corporate structure is totalizing now, karp is the purest form

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.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
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: personal
Written for: Hiring managers and founders

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

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

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

We won. Starmer abandons plans for compulsory Digital ID. This is a HUGE win. Well done to EVERYONE who has been fighting - from all political parties and none. A team effort. It proves that we can make progress when we come together to fight this appalling Labour Government.

you can now pay openai $230 to get a physical knob that allows you to modulate the rate at which you pay them thousands of dollars a month in tokens which you can also do with your mouse "tool shaped objects" made flesh

a lesson from the very best principal investors is that the line between investor/management does not need to exist. the best opportunities, and certainly the most unique windows to concentrate, come from having a constant revolving door between firm/fund. concentrate in time

the central plot point of “infinite jest” is a film so engrossing that anyone who watches it loses all interest in anything else: they can’t eat, sleep, or function. in the book, terrorists fight over it. In real life, Alex Wang got paid a couple b to make it happen
