Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

https://xcancel.com/leopoldasch Leopold Ashenbrenner, some chart maker and ~~substack~~ blog haver with twitter account. swallows all openai marketing materials hook line and sinker, i had enough of abyss gazing duty today won't tell you more
his academic output is funny, he has 2 arxiv preprints, an article (?) published not in any normal journal, but instead on some other dude's blog (??), and an article at somewhere called unjournal, which claims that it's not a journal, (???) but instead it's a nonprofit packed with EAs. and that nets him 230 citations (that's looking up in google scholar, not going to fire up scopus just for that)
For all their talk about "cathedrals" and "gatekeeping" I think we don't gatekeep the ability to compile a PDF enough.
We should at least require all the weirdoes to write their bullshit by hand with a quill
none of his articles (not preprints, arxiv handles this) have DOIs. even paper mills much worse than MDPI can get these
He retweeted Ivanka praising him... 🤢
