Ian Goodfellow engagement report
@goodfellow_ian - 378K followers on X
Measured over 3 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 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 246 interactions against 378K followers, an engagement rate of 0.065%. Posts are seen about 31K times each, and 0.788% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.25% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.13 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.8K interactions, about 19x its own typical post. Only 3 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 11:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

I'd like to thank @daniel_rossett for his help in my recovery from the POTS version of Long COVID. Daniel was key in bringing me back from highly disabled and suffering to being able to do what I want to again. This X account is mostly focused on ML / AI. From that point of view, many of you know that in December 2024, I wasn't able to do the test of time award talk at NeurIPS, even by video call. Daniel started working with me in March 2025. By April, I started to have days of no POTS symptoms, by June I was off all heart rate lowering medications, by September I was back to work. I'm back to full exercise, running, lifting weights, mountain biking, and have even done things I hadn't done before I got sick, like riding Whistler Mountain Bike Park. I'm now getting the word out to help Daniel build a company that will bring this approach to more people.

Posting a call for help: does anyone know of a good way to simultaneously treat both POTS and Ménière’s disease? Please contact me if you’re either a clinician with experience doing this or a patient who has found a good solution. Context in thread

We raised $28M seed from Threshold Ventures, AIX Ventures, and NVentures (Nvidia's venture capital arm) —alongside 10+ unicorn founders and top AI researchers— to build reasoning models that generate real-time simulations and games. Models are bottlenecked by practical simulations that can act as Reinforcement Learning environments. Human self-expression is bounded by tools that let us create alternate realities. At Moonlake, we are building a future where anyone can create interactive worlds, bring their child-like wonder to life, learn within them, and most importantly, share experiences with people we care about.

Very happy to hear that GANs are getting the test of time award at NeurIPS 2024. The NeurIPS test of time awards are given to papers which have stood the test of the time for a decade. I took some time to reminisce how GANs came about and how AI has evolve in the last decade.

Today GANs got 1 of 2 test of time awards at @NeurIPSConf . Many thanks to my co-author @dwf for preparing and presenting the talk. It’s no easy task to summarize 85k papers in 12 minutes

- What is Ian Goodfellow's engagement rate on X?
- Ian Goodfellow (@goodfellow_ian) has an engagement rate of 0.065%, based on the median interactions across 3 original posts from the last 30 days against 378,256 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.065%, Ian Goodfellow sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @goodfellow_ian have real engagement?
- There is not yet enough sample to rank this account against others of its size.
- When does @goodfellow_ian post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.13 posts per day across the measured window.
