OpenAI research scientist @aidan_mclau argues Twitter is the uncheatable eval for AI hiring because you can't fake loving technology, and posters like Roon become brand assets that entire labs benefit from: "If I were manager or recruiter, I think I would still pay a ton of attention to Twitter. It's a high signal thing. It's kind of hard to fake really loving technology, really having good takes. It's the uncheatable eval in some sense." Sofia: "You guys probably see it as a brand asset to have good posters" Theo: "How much intangible brand value has Roon created for OpenAI? Probably a lot" Aidan: "It's not just OpenAI brand value. When you love technology, when you love AI, when you love the stuff you work on, when you earnestly want it to go well, not just for the company's sake, but to fulfill that promise to an earlier version of you when you were 12 and you had read sci-fi books, that's the aura I get from @tszzl." "Some of that is projected on OpenAI, which I'm grateful for, but some of that's just projected onto San Francisco, or us as people who love AI and just want these things to go well." @OpenAI
