Monetization
Estimated X creator earnings
$4–$10 in the last 30 days
From 793.9K views on @swyx's original posts in the last 30 days.
Rewards eligibility: likely
Rough estimate. X publishes no payout rate, so this assumes about $5–12 per 1M original-post impressions from reported creator payouts. Only Premium viewers’ impressions count, so real payouts can be much lower.

I think its easy to say "Simulation is a new scaling law" and treat it as marketing hyperbole, but midway along this interview you can hear me go from somewhat shitposting to very very serious. I am 2 years late to this but finally understand why @karpathy and @drfeifei backed @joon_s_pk @msbernst @percyliang et al - Smallville at the time had zero commercial applications, but if you take RSI seriously, from models automating increasingly large parts of ML research and AI engineering, the last* barrier is simulating humans and human feedback, and Simile is obviously the team to do this and already finding PMF at Fortune 100s even at this early stage. I've never been so happy to be so wrong. *or second last ! :) more soon on the Science pod

in case you’re not living in the tech bubble, as a general rule i’ve been surprised by how infrequently top tier folks actually meet/know each other. as an outsider i might have assumed that everyone is in secret illuminati group chats. those exist, but are very much short lived exceptions rather than the rule. what you see of the major headlines is pretty much what they also see. i guess one way to interpret this is also simply that most effort is still on doing the work rather than working the narrative or the gossip. and that, to me at least, is genuinely quite reassuring, this far in to my career.

is it normal to crop out other people's logo and not attribute to a simple youtube video or how does this work in professional tech media https://t.co/RMciDG1IJS
