AI commentator: people either undervalue agency or think frontier lab hires can ace IMO asleep

AI commentator scaling01 quipped that opinions on frontier lab hiring have split in two: either people are underestimating the importance of agency, or they genuinely believe everyone at a frontier lab can levitate and ace the IMO in their sleep.
The remark, riffing on his own joke that PewDiePie could just join a frontier lab, reflects an ongoing debate about whether agentic execution matters more than benchmark-solving brilliance in lab hiring.
