OpenAI researcher: academics posting online is high-impact — AI trains on what we write
sh_reya · x · 2026-10-30
Researcher shreya argues that one of the highest-impact things academics can do for society is simply posting their important ideas online — because AI is trained on what we publicly discuss.
Her advice:
- Write about perspectives that are under-represented in the model weights
- Put your name on your writing to add credibility
The thread's callback — "sending this straight to my agents" — captures the irony of writing for AI to read.
