| While that might not be the largest academic footprint, I don't think you could dispute him being an expert or being 'somewhat well known'. |

| ▲ | suddenlybananas 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | He seems to have a big following on AI-hype twitter, I'll grant you that. It is interesting however, how you weren't familiar with him at all [1] 20 minutes before describing him as a well-known expert. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49753179#49754358 | | |

You are splitting hairs for no reason, while standing on the wrong side of this discussion. Feel free to criticize the project on its actual content. | |

I'm not saying it's impossible to be a well-known expert with a shitty google scholar. I'm just not seeing any evidence at all in Taelin's case. He doesn't even have a wikipedia page! | | |
