The OpenAI Just Be Normal strategy is working beautifully. Bonus points for making the ladies look very smart and sophisticated, and clearly putting them in control of the conversation / interrupting / even being kinda rude with Chat.

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 short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
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: People building with AI

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

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Man I love everything about the way Mack & Co are building Ambrook. The announcement site is simple, focuses on the customers Ambrook has bet on, and intentionally slows down by putting the rest of the announcement in a physical letter. Earned Differentiation.

If I’m Anthropic, I’m locking Dario in a room for like a month and not letting him near the internet, a camera, or a microphone. Just let OpenAI look weird by themselves for a while. Probably, though, he’ll pen a NYT editorial warning that AI will steal your girl.

Ben Thompson with the best take on DOD v. Anthropic, which is basically: if you don't want the government to treat your technology like nuclear weapons, stop comparing your technology to nuclear weapons. Hype Tax.

This is a big deal. I’ve been excited about zk’s potential to eliminate trade-offs for a while and Bryan and the LayerZero team have come up with what looks like the best implementation of that promise. Not an investor (sadly), just an impressed fan.

Apple failing would be one of the healthiest things imaginable for capitalism. You could see the soul leaving its body as it moved from attract to extract. Corporate 21 grams. Current struggles are downstream of that soullessness. Let it burn.

Huge. Big win for Bridge, Stripe, people everywhere who like faster, cheaper transactions, and the Duke mafia. And the first big acquisition of a Not Boring Capital portfolio company. This is exciting!
