You tweet so many apocalyptic hot takes that even the neural nets you worship ask for a content warning, your keyboard has clearly logged more hours than most interns.

Built a large, highly engaged audience (448k followers) and launched multiple viral threads and videos, one single tweet hit ~49.3M views and turned into a major conversation starter across the industry.

To equip a generation of engineers with the technical skills and strategic mindset to leverage AI rather than be outcompeted by it, raising the technical bar and steering industry conversations toward real engineering, responsibility, and impact.

Believes technical mastery beats hype, practical tools beat buzzwords, and that the next decade will be won by people who pair rigorous engineering with fearless storytelling. Values clarity, reproducibility, and making difficult ideas accessible to practitioners.

Deep technical credibility, razor-sharp takes that spark engagement, and an ability to convert complex code/ideas into actionable threads and videos that engineers actually use.

Can be polarizing and blunt, occasional hyperbolic predictions and high-volume posting risk alienating nuance-seeking followers and diluting signal among the noise.

Keep pairing bold one-liners with deep-dive threads: post a short provocative tweet, follow it with a pinned multi-tweet tutorial. Clip your YouTube lessons into 60, 90s videos and carousel images showing before/after model outputs. Host regular Spaces or AMAs to convert lurkers into loyal followers, use polls to drive engagement, and collaborate with complementary creators (researchers, product builders) to broaden reach. Finally, curate a weekly ‘AI Engineering TL;DR’ thread that becomes a must-read for practitioners, consistency beats sporadic virality.

Fun fact: one of Santiago's tweets ('Apple will blow everyone out of the water') reached roughly 49.3M views and 172,849 likes. He teaches hardcore AI/ML (links on his profile), runs a YouTube channel, has 448,169 followers, and has tweeted over 49,000 times, so yes, he’s prolific and popular.
