Social media user @tszzl faces accusations of fabricating an Anthropic fellowship and MATS program acceptance

the funniest part is when tons of smart people were lauding his slop article, presumably because people will be sycophants towards anyone with credentials don't let it be you

@anpaure Called this out yesterday and got attacked not trying to pull anyone down, but someone with no GScholar, no papers, no conference acceptances is giving research advice? Even Bengio doesn't do that. Also: removing punctuation to hide AI text isn't a flex.

@anpaure that aside, i don't rly get why that got like 30k bookmarks. like it's not wrong, but also, eh ?

in case you missed it, you might say "huh, but nowhere does he say anything about mats" but actually he's just scrubbing evidence, here are some people obviously responding to him talking about it

@anpaure rofl

@anpaure You can just do things (lie)

@anpaure Larp larp larp sahurrrrr

@anpaure I already said it in this tweet. It’s crazy how ppl blindly support some slop.

another insane detail is that he apparently was at an actual anthropic community event and was talking about this experience, absolutely shameless and before you ask, i checked, this one he wasn't making up (unlike his accolades)

@anpaure @tenobrus thanks for investigating, it did seem suspicious and i was wondering why so many people were buying it uncritically (or quoting mangled hamming lines from the post as if it were some work of genius) but i didn't look into it

@anpaure @tenobrus I thought his story seemed off…

@anpaure >the qt trying to “correct the record” is ai generated son 😭

@anpaure lol i already felt something was fishy

because i have never seen a sane ai researcher post so much slop

@anpaure he is so good at it, many moots following this person 😭

@anpaure @akbirthko its over

@anpaure @tenobrus hahahaha what a fucking loser, go fuck yourself @itsreallyvivek

@anpaure @tenobrus I think the worst part about this is has been offering paid consulting services to help people with their applications and how to be like him

@anpaure i was a bit skeptical when I saw no single uppercase in that article. maybe it’s just SF vibe I thought

@anpaure @grok what do u think abt this?

@anpaure i'm really really super curious had he done any research before? if not that would be one of the most sarcastic thing ive ever seen🤣
