So the real reasons that Anthropic nerfed Fable for biology and ML weren't for "Safety" but because those are markets they wanted to dominate. Got it.

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.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

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.

Deceleration makes us all unsafe. If only a few "approved" orgs can have access to American frontier for Cyber defense, and little tech is left hanging/ having to use Chinese models, we are all far worse off. Enough.

This is why they didn't release Mythos. Incentivized to compound their lead rather than make models available to their potential competitors. For all the Doomer talk of Singleton superintelligence, they are sure behaving in a way that would hyperstition that outcome

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

So basically all elite founders of multi-billion dollar companies contributing to AI and defense have to stop their work in order to convert to GC? Make it make sense.

Impressions so far: Grok Build interface is actually really nice. Now as soon as xAI has a SOTA model, it could very well become competitive with Codex / Claude Code overnight

Very bad idea. Administrations of the future will force labs to imbue the biases of their side into the models in order to get sign off. This will also reduce the number of labs who can ship models, having to deal with compliance. I cannot advise against this strongly enough.
