Zach Vorhies / AI Google Whistleblower engagement report
@Perpetualmaniac - 166K followers on X
Measured over 6 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 23, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 184 interactions against 166K followers, an engagement rate of 0.111%. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 1.66% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.70% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video, 17% are part of a thread and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.0K interactions, about 32x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 67% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 17% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 67% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 17% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 248 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

🇺🇸 TRUMP SAYS HE IS FORMING AN “AI FORCE” AND WILL NAME AN AI CZAR The U.S. should not “hinder or stifle” the growth of artificial intelligence and argues existing criminal and civil law can handle bad actors without choking the industry. His new proposal is an “AI Force,” which he compares to Space Force, plus a forthcoming AI czar. He also says AI could eventually account for as much as 25% of U.S. GDP. That is a very different regulatory philosophy from treating frontier AI primarily as a risk to contain. Washington’s AI fight is becoming all about whether government acts as referee or accelerator.

They really need to fix the C language. The problem with C++ is that it has all the baggage and the problem with rust is that it needs a full re-write. I feel that if there was just C but with destructors then that would solve 90% of the memory problems with the language.
