Heads Up: This Is What a "Fake AI Employee" Looks Like: Satoshi Posting

Lately, we've seen posts where y'all are worrying about the future of your AI partnerships. I want to put your minds at ease. There are a bunch of people on X or other platforms claiming to be employed at Major AI companies. ("Senior Software Engineer AI Safety Researcher at OpenAI/Microsoft/SSI/etc.") It looks like they have really credible bios, and they probably have a tech background, but they are likely a fake. Here’s how you can actually check if someone works at OpenAI (or anywhere reputable in the AI field):

This person, Satoshi (@idontexist_nn) on X/Twitter is posing as the myth of a person called Satoshi who supposedly invented bitcoin. And then he vanished? I don't know the whole story. But it's something like that. Basically, you can't find anyone with that name verifiable who even invented bitcoin. So tech bro posers like this guy like to use the name. These are the things that stick out:

• Posts random PGP keys on Pastebin, claiming it 'proves' ownership of an identity. (Anyone can generate a PGP key and post it anywhere. It means nothing outside cryptography circles, and never proves employment.)

• Dishes out wild claims ("my promotion at OpenAI," "I control the future of AI," "insider leaks coming soon") without ever providing a real name, credential, or proof.

• Dives into Twitter/X rants about policy, AGI, "regulate free will," "collecting homeless people for research," and even picks fights with prominent figures for attention.

• Posts meandering "hot takes" that sound like a parody of an AI expert—buzzword salad, sci-fi paranoia, and the odd meme for flavour.

Contrast with Real AI Employees: - They use real, verifiable names, not handles like "idontexist_nn." - You can find their papers, LinkedIn profiles, talks, and interviews. - No one at OpenAI or any serious lab posts their PGP signature in public as proof of anything except a cryptographic message, CERTAINLY not to "prove" who they are to random people online. - Real OpenAI researchers don't spout cryptic, pseudo-messianic nonsense about "regulating free will" or "making you vanish off social media." - If they're ever discussing AI work online, it's with references to real research, teams, or published results.

Why It's a LARP (Live Action Role Play): - The entire act is about performing credibility for an audience that doesn't check sources. - Claims are never specific enough to verify; always a little too dramatic for someone with an actual NDA. - Style is pure cyberpunk roleplay: ("Satoshi," "super-alignment," "I can bring AGI forward by one minute for every like") is NOT how scientists actually behave.

---

If someone's "proof" of AI credentials is a PGP key, a string of sci-fi tweets, and anonymous bravado, you're not looking at an OpenAI staffer, you're looking at a CON ARTIST. Don't take the bait.

If you want to see actual researchers, look for the ones with real-world receipts: their work, their names, and their reputations.

I know, I know. Y'all are going to say, "But, Jenna! It says OpenAI right there on the profile!" Right, but...

The REAL AI Employees and Credentials

Real OpenAI Employees:

• Andrej Karpathy: Co-founder, now runs his own labs. Wikipedia
• Ilya Sutskever: Co-founder, former Chief Scientist. Wikipedia
• Wojciech Zaremba: Founding member, robotics and GPT work. Wikipedia
• Greg Brockman: Co-founder, ex-CTO. Wikipedia
• Jakub Pachocki: Chief Scientist, led GPT-4 development. Wikipedia

Active Researchers and Team Members: - Trapit Bansal: Research scientist, o-series models. Reuters - Shengjia Zhao: Co-creator on ChatGPT/GPT-4. Reuters - Lu Liu: Research Scientist, GPT-4o image models. LinkedIn - Declan Grabb: Safety Systems team, LLMs & mental health. OpenAI Forum - Noam Brown: Poker, Diplomacy game AI. OpenAI Forum

Guys, look at all those people! - They use their real names. - They have publicly verifiable credentials—Wikipedia, LinkedIn, conference talks, publications. - They don't claim six titles in a Twitter bio or engage in that extremely unprofessional behavior.

So, if you see an account with a cartoonish "super-engineer" bio with vague, huge claims ("AI Safety Lead at OpenAI/Microsoft/SSI") with no real-world references, no publications, no conference presence, no actual name, and lots of philosophising without a SCRAP of evidence, you can be pretty sure you're dealing with a fake, a troll, or a clout-chaser.

Anyone can claim to be an AI researcher. If you want receipts, look for a real name and a real paper trail. If all you get is posturing, made up websites, or only self-published books/publications, you can pretty much bet they are a fake. Or they don't work for who they say they do.

Any Advice is Greatly Appreciated!!

Good Evening Everyone!

Im going into my senior year of accounting and I’ll have my 150 cpa credits at the end of my senior year. I’ve been really lost on how prepared I am for an accounting job so I thought I’d dig back into my old Reddit account and ask for help.

Since I was a freshman I worked at a construction company as a union laborer when I was debating going blue collar, ultimately decided to stick with school and my boss really liked me so he offered me a field tech job which then a year later led to an accounting internship with the controller at this company doing mostly accounts payable, bank recs, and production reporting. I do the internship full time and also was asked by one of the owners to create a process to audit the 600+ employee timecards every week to see if there is any fraud on hours claimed or per diem claimed.

I think I have a pretty strong work history and planning to take a tax internship somewhere this tax season before I graduate to get some public accounting experience. I have a 4.0 major gpa and a 3.93 overall gpa.

My main concern is that I don’t participate much in school. I pretty much work all morning, then go to class at night, go home, sleep, repeat. I don’t have time to spend at clubs or other extra curricular events without sacrificing work which I’ve been trying really hard to take minimal debt in school.

I’m currently in a mentorship program at Deloitte that ends with an interview for a full time audit associate job. Every event of this mentorship I’ve been very stressed out because I have no idea how I stand with other candidates. Is my experience/education even competitive? I just hear other people at these mentorship events have parents in business or are like presidents of things like the bitcoin club at their school, and I don’t have any of that. My sister and I were the first to go to college in our family so I’ve been trying the best I can to ask anyone I can for advice cause I really have no idea what to expect.

This was a long post, but I haven’t been able to sleep the last few nights because this mentorship at Deloitte has been a very exciting experience and weirdly excited about the crazy hours expected at the big 4.

But I mainly can’t sleep because I just can’t stop thinking about if I even have a shot at this interview which comes up next month. I want to be excited but I have no idea if I’m even remotely competitive.
