Genuine question: what makes an account feel high-signal to you? Not famous. Not viral. High-signal. For me it is usually when I can tell the person is building, testing, and not just repeating whatever is trending this week.

@cgtwts Maybe the "Make Claude Opus 5, make no mistakes" is not only a meme.

Anthropic CEO: “At Anthropic, we essentially have Claude designing the next version of Claude itself.” Meanwhile, Anthropic says every new model is given code that trains a small AI model and asked to make it faster. Claude Opus 4 achieved a 3x speedup. Mythos Preview reached 52x. Recursive self-improvement is starting to look real The models are helping build what comes next.

DistFunnel is now LIVE! I've spent the past few months building my own content operating system with 150+ proven content formats, editorial frameworks, and rewrite templates. We currently support X & LinkedIn. You can start your free trial here 👇

I am starting to think the best accounts to engage with are not always the biggest ones. Sometimes it is the person with 2k followers, building in public, replying to people, and actually thinking through the problem. Small account, high signal.

Some people here are clearly building. Some people are clearly performing. The hard part is learning to tell the difference fast. Follower count helps a little, but honestly, it also lies a lot.

Question for people building on X: would you rather have a tool that helps you write better posts or a tool that tells you which people are actually worth engaging with? I keep thinking the second one is more underrated.

Brutal observation: a lot of “AI for growth” tools are just fancy autocomplete. They help you sound better. Cool. But if you are talking to the wrong person, at the wrong time, under the wrong post, the better wording doesn’t matter that much.

I think a lot of AI tools for social media are starting from the easiest part. Writing. But writing is not really the bottleneck anymore. The harder part is knowing who is worth talking to in the first place.

If you are a visual learner, you HAVE to use excalidraw, it is amazing and open source.

Be honest: how do you decide if someone here is worth connecting with? I usually look at: what they are building how they reply whether their posts feel original if they seem serious or just loud What am I missing?

Reframe: posting more is not always the answer. If you are posting to the wrong people, you are just collecting random feedback faster. Same thing with replies. A good reply under the wrong post is still basically invisible.

Weird question: do you think X is better for finding customers, partners, or just other people building? I’m starting to think the answer depends way more on who you reply to than what you post.

Genuine question for founders: when someone follows you or replies to you here, what makes you actually check their profile? Their bio? Their product? Their reply? Their pinned post? Mutuals? Curious because I think most people optimize the wrong part.

Man, follower count is such a lazy signal. I keep finding small accounts where the person is clearly building something serious. Then I open huge accounts and it is just the same 5 takes rewritten forever. I am starting to think the real signal is what someone notices.

New month, same question: where are the real builders hiding here? Not the loudest people. Not the biggest accounts. Not the ones recycling the same AI takes every day. The ones actually building something useful.

Genuine question: what makes you actually follow someone here? For me it is usually when I see a few posts and think: “ok, this person is noticing things I care about” Not necessarily viral. Not necessarily famous. Just clearly paying attention.

@lukmanAufbau Well said!

@hangpedro Exactly. Know who you want around you first. The rest follows from that.

I think a lot of people are trying to grow on X before knowing who they even want around them. That sounds obvious, but it changes everything. What you post. Who you reply to. What you ignore. What kind of people start recognizing you.

@amritwt A man's urge to have Jarvis at all costs! That's dope

this is what I wanted wispr flow to be like
