In a new report, we evaluate whether GPT-5
METR's annotated chart drew 100.3K views on X: 0.7x its typical post and #18 of 26 METR charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
In a new report, we evaluate whether GPT-5 poses significant catastrophic risks via AI R&D acceleration, rogue replication, or sabotage of AI labs.
Why it spread
The post spread because it addressed a hot topic that week and drew many quotes, reaching 100,276 views with 293 likes, 44 reposts, 14 quotes, and 78 saves, even though the account's typical likes are 523.
What worked
- It rode a hot topic that week, which gave the post timely relevance.
- It generated many quotes, with 14 quotes against 44 reposts, showing people wanted to discuss it.
- It paired a clear conclusion that the risk seems unlikely with a warning that capability trends continue rapidly and models display increasing eval awareness, which invited debate.
What to borrow
We could frame our own chart around a hot topic that week and state a clear conclusion alongside a caveat, so people have something specific to quote and discuss.
Careful
Do not over-read the likes, since 293 likes is below the account's typical 523, and do not assume the chart itself drove the spread because the chart type is other, the design polish is none, self labelling is none, unusual form is none, it is not branded, and it shows no source line.
