Lambda (NVDA investment, $1.4bn contract) signing a deal with NVIDIA, so Anthropic (who lacks the credit to sign I assume?) can maybe rent back capacity that is leased in NVIDIA's name, built by Hut8, who is also building capacity with Fluidstack. Every bad sign possible lol

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

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
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: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Founders and operators
