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.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: People building with AI

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.

I wish the significance of the model came from more people actually using it and coming to their own conclusions But yes most people in the world learn about it through signifiers and not through interacting with that which is signified

Anthropic shutting down OpenClaw may turn out to be a strategic blunder, or strategic genius. The OpenClaw community will be the determiner of whether it is A or B. It's an interesting moment in history. Personally I never bet against open source.

Huge get for Airbnb and amazing role for Ahmad One of my favorite things about Airbnb is how often you get to know new people in new places, often even your host. Can you imagine what AI can do to personalize and make that happen much more often?

YC is now in its 20th year of operation, having created over $800B in new startup market value. Thanks @Kr00ney for coming to YC Demo Day and for having me on CNBC! t.co

Nah this is an exponential event for vertical SaaS More startups than ever are going from zero to $10M per year in recurring revenue with less than 10 people The next years will be IPO class companies getting to $100M to $1B/yr. A thousand flowers will bloom

We all deserve to be safe on our own streets Did you know that YC-backed Flock Safety’s license plate readers are solving 10% of reported crime across the USA Their goal is 25% by end of next year At YC, we would love more tech that brings public safety to everyone
