visual explanation with the Minions

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask:

"What do you think about xyz"?

There is no "you". Next time try:

"What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?"

The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

I saw a guy coding today.
Tab 1 Claude.
Tab 2 Gemini.
Tab 3 ChatGPT.
Tab 4 Grok.
Tab 5 DeepSeek.
He asked every AI the same exact question.
Patiently waited, then pasted each response into 5 Python files.
Hit run on all five.
Pick the best one.
Like a psychopath.

It's me.

visualized the X growth hack guide using NotebookLM + Nano Banana Pro

ai is making learnings more fun and approachable with visuals 🙌

[Louis McKeeve @lmkeev]

Stop posting on X.

Seriously.

If you're under 500 followers, every tweet you publish is not worth the time.

Here's what I figured out after wasting weeks making tweets:

You're playing the wrong game for your follower count.

I call it the "Engagement Ladder".

And 90% of people are on the positioning themselves on the wrong rung.

The brutal truth:

Until you hit critical mass, nobody cares about:

→ Your morning routine
→ Your hot takes
→ Your project updates
→ Your motivational wisdom

They don't care because they don't know you yet.

You haven't earned the right to flex.

Ever copy a viral tweet from a 50k account and get 2 likes?

"Hard work beats talent" gets them 8,000 likes.

You post the same thing → 3 likes, 1 from that random account with a picture of a cat.

It's not the content. It's the ladder.

Here's the actual Engagement Ladder:

STAGE 1: 0-500 followers: STOP POSTING. START REPLYING.

Your tweets get zero algorithmic reach.

You're invisible.

So stop screaming into the void.

Instead: 100 replies per day to trending posts in your niche.

Make yourself visible in OTHER people's comments.

That's the only strategy that works at this level.

500-3,000 followers: VALUE ONLY

Now you can tweet.

But ONLY tactical lessons they can use today.

"Here's how I got 1,000 users"
"The exact cold email that got 30% replies"
"My Cursor setup that saves 10 hours/week"

No fluff. No motivation. No "building in public" updates.

Nobody cares about your journey (yet).

Give them something they can steal.

STAGE 2: 3,000-10,000 followers: OPINIONS UNLOCKED

Now you can share takes.

"Here's why no-code is dead"
"Agencies > SaaS for first-time founders"
"Y Combinator is overrated"

You have enough credibility that people want to hear your POV.

But it still needs to teach something.

STAGE 3: 10,000-100,000 followers: LIFESTYLE FLEX TIME

This is where you can post:

→ "Coding from a beach in Bali"
→ "My morning routine as a 6-figure founder"
→ "What I had for breakfast"

People know you now. They're invested in your journey.

The mundane becomes interesting because they care about YOU.

STAGE 4: 100,000+ followers: POST WHATEVER YOU WANT

Politics rants. Random thoughts. Shower wisdom.

At this scale, you're a personality.

People follow for you, not just your content.

Why this matters:

Most people try to skip rungs.

They're at 800 followers posting:

"Building in public! Day 47 of my SaaS journey 🚀"

Zero engagement.

Meanwhile, someone with 80k posts the same thing and gets 500 likes.

Same content. Different rung.

The mistake I see everywhere:

People at 1,000 followers trying to post like they're at 50k.

Motivational quotes. Morning routines. Hot takes on politics.

Nobody cares.

You haven't earned that yet.

What actually works:

Match your content to your rung:

Under 500? Don't post. Just engage.

500-3k? You're a teacher, not a personality.

Teach. Give tactical value. Make them smarter in 60 seconds.

Save the flexing for when you have 10k+.

The controversial part:

Those "inspiring" tweets from big accounts?

They're not what got them big.

They got big by providing insane value when they were small.

Now they've earned the right to post lazy motivation.

You haven't.

Based on my learning of this platform:

Stop trying to be motivational.

Stop sharing your "journey."

Stop posting your hot takes.

If you're under 500 (lik me), stop posting completely. Just reply.

If you're 500-3k, stop posting anything that isn't pure value.

Until you're over 3,000 followers, you're invisible.

So give value so good they can't ignore you.

Teach them something worth stealing. Every. Single. Tweet.

The Engagement Ladder is real.

Know which rung you're on.

Or keep wondering why your posts get 3 likes while the same content from big accounts gets 3,000.
