Met a founding engineer today from Replit ⠕. Jen Li. We were both judging the Pokee AI hackathon. They have me some credits and I built two apps in 20 minutes using the X API:a weather one which mapped storms being reported in by my climate scientist list and...

"X is a shit show" "X is for Nazis" "X is all about Elon Musk" "X is too noisy" "X's algorithm sucks" How many of you have heard stuff like that? I do, especially when I go to other social media sites, like Threads, which just passed X in total users. I find attitudes like that uninformed, but what stopped an uninformed person from writing something on the Internet? Nothing. But since I jumped over to Threads today and got another eye full of that kind of stuff. So I mostly wanted to say thank you to the community of tens of thousands of people in tech that I follow, and show you what my screens look like today. If you turn on audio on the video here, you'll hear me talk through each of my lists. I use X Pro and lists. And by using them I find even my For You feed gets better. Much better, in fact. Why? Because if you engage on the REAL X, which you can only see on X Pro with lists, the algorithm figures out the kinds of things that catch your eye and looks for more. Also, by following lists you give the algorithm VERY IMPORTANT signal and a lot more things to choose from. Even if you just follow my feeds and never use them, your For You feed will get better BECAUSE you gave the algorithm more signal about what you want to see. If I see a brilliant person, or a new company, I put them on my lists. If I see someone go political all the time I remove them from my lists, or, maybe put them on my news lists if they are posting an interesting point of view that I would want to watch over time. These are the most complete lists in tech industry here on X, by far. I read through a LOT of lists: https:// ts And here is how I have my lists laid out in X Pro. If you are in the AI industry and you aren't following all my AI lists you are hurting yourself and ignoring many thousands of hours of work I've put into them over 18 years of being here on this service. I can only do this on X. The companies, for instance, aren't on the other services, and the AI research and development community here is stronger and more educational than they are on other services. And, because of Grok integration here, X is a far better learning platform. If I see a scientist sharing something I don't understand I click the Grok button and it teaches me a lot more. Thank you. And, yes, there are many other "X's" that I don't see. Sports, being one. I focus only on tech and educated people and my lists show that X is the best place for science, technology, and nerdy news. One last thing: the algorithm will, in about a month, radically change to be totally AI driven. When that happens X will radically change and lists will become even more important as a source of signal. If you want a better X, here's the key. Love!

I've improved the NotebookLM script on my news site: The pattern? Have my AI agent grab all posts from the AI community here on X via the X API. About 30,000 every day. Costs about $150 a day. This is why lists on X are so important (I have the most complete lists of the tech community here on X by far, and they are all public so you can build your own systems like this). Then my AI agent, built by Brayden Levangie and me, analyzes all of them, builds the website above, and it writes a script for NotebookLM, which largely is the same as the essay you see on the top of that page. At the bottom of the page is a "copy script" button for NotebookLM users. You can copy the script, paste it into NotebookLM, which then can build you a podcast (which I like a lot better than the videos it generates, which I include here from today's script). It updates three times a day, around 8 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. If major news is breaking I update it more often. Why do I call this a pattern? Because you'll see this pattern used a lot more to build personalized news systems. Next on the priority list? Get my newsletter to work and send out to the thousands who have subscribed (thank you for being patient). Unfortunately beehiiv 🐝 hasn't turned on automatic posting yet, so am looking at other email systems that can be automated, like Resend. Eventually I want to turn this into an automatically generated news show with HeyGen. Thanks for putting up with my agent that has been spitting out bad links lately, Brayden and I have been working on that behind the scenes to make the system more reliable. What do you think about the news site? I built it because it is just impossible for anyone to read the 30,000 posts a day that the AI industry generates here on X. Hope it helps you keep up with the models, papers, robots, company news, events, and more that everyone posts here, but that X itself has made it hard to find due to an inferior search system and an algorithm that only brings a certain kind of post to your ForYou feed, which hides a TON of interesting stuff being shared here. My lists at are getting a LOT more complete and better, been working hard on those and watch them all day long because the quality of the lists (and completeness) makes this whole pattern better.
