OpenAI research scientist Aidan McLau stated that X (formerly Twitter) serves as an "uncheatable eval" for AI hiring. He argued that it's hard to fake a genuine love for technology and good takes, so recruiters should pay close attention to candidates' X presence.
The discussion also noted that active and prominent posters like Roon create massive intangible brand value for their entire AI labs.
