I just saw that I passed @aidan_mclau in followers

He was one of my very first followers, one of my first moots, which really meant a lot to me ~1.5 years ago

He did some great work with AidanBench and I always wanted to be more like him, which ultimately also inspired LisanBench

He's probably the smartest and kindest person I have met

Right now he's a bit busy building AGI at OpenAI, but he still posts occasionally and deserves a lot more followers than I do. So leave him a follow if you aren't already following him

Congratulations, @scaling01! 😊 🎉 @aidan_mclau is a kind person, and of course, I'm following him since more than a year! 🤩 It's exciting how he makes ChatGPT amazing, giving it a playful and empathetic personality and reducing its hallucinations! I appreciate the work of Aidan and the team! 😀 🌟
