Blogger: time spent on X almost predicts how well you understand AI
manosaie · x · 2026-09-24
A blogger argues X has become the "virtual town square for frontier AI": you can roughly predict someone's AI literacy by how much time they spend on the platform.
His reasoning: AI researchers and builders constantly post hands-on tests of agents, computer use, biology, math and niche products, so you don't need to try every model yourself. He notes that friends off X have never heard of new AI products like Muse, while X users have already seen demos and tried them. He claims the correlation holds across repeated informal tests, concluding X remains the best place to track what AI can actually do right now.
