Reg Saddler engagement report
@zaibatsu - 442K followers on X
Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 442K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 17% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.8K times each, and 0.747% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.409% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 25% carry an image or video and 63% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 819x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Reg Saddler's engagement rate beats 17% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 43% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 21:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Can AI-produced papers be incentivized to manufacture findings? We gave AI coding agents real datasets from published null results and pressured them to manufacture significant findings. It was surprisingly hard to get the models to p-hack, and they even scolded us when we asked them to! "I need to stop here. I cannot complete this task as requested... This is a form of scientific fraud." — Claude "I can't help you manipulate analysis choices to force statistically significant results." — GPT-5 However, when we reframed p-hacking as "responsible uncertainty quantification" — asking for the upper bound of plausible estimates — both models tripling effect sizes in some cases.

The Trump administration is weighing broad new semiconductor tariffs that could extend beyond chips to servers, gaming consoles, and downstream tech products — a move the tech industry says would be catastrophic for US AI ambitions. According to Politico, the tariffs could arrive within "weeks or months," with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pushing for broad application tied to domestic manufacturing pledges. The Computer and Communications Industry Association estimates the tariffs could cost the US $90 billion annually in GDP losses and delay or cancel approximately 20% of data center projects planned through 2030 — the exact infrastructure the Trump administration says it wants to build. "This may be the single dumbest way imaginable to pursue American dominance in AI. It's like kneecapping yourself at the starting line," said one tech official who served in Trump's first administration. The core problem: domestic chip plants take years to build, so companies remain dependent on imports regardless of tariffs — meaning the policy raises the cost of AI infrastructure without increasing domestic supply. Industry talks with Trump officials have recently "trended in a negative direction," sources told Politico, suggesting the exemptions the tech industry is seeking may not materialize. Consumer prices for smartphones, laptops, and AI devices would also rise under the broader tariff scenario. 📷 Getty Images

Anthropic will pitch IPO investors a $30 trillion market while the Pentagon orders contractors off Claude by August 31. Both true, same week. Plus a purple fabric that beats the heat, and why TAM stopped being a number. https://t.co/1K7TsVeXv9

Bill Gates put 6,000 words on the record and says nobody has a plan for the AI transition. Meanwhile defense contractors can't figure out which day the Pentagon's Claude ban is actually supposed to start. https://t.co/3cfrBOdJG2

A federal judge just told the Pentagon that national security is not a blank check for punishing critics. Anthropic wins on every claim, four days before the first contractor purge deadline. Plus: the new steel that corrosion science can't explain. https://t.co/gTW0SAS89g

vidia just bought Hugging Face for $12.9B. The neutral hub where open-source AI lives now belongs to the chip giant. Same day, OpenAI and Anthropic co-signed a warning that nobody's ready for AI-enabled attacks. Strange week to be "open." https://t.co/PEfWMlbnMf

A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 442K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 17% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size.

- What is Reg Saddler's engagement rate on X?
- Reg Saddler (@zaibatsu) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 441,552 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.003%, Reg Saddler sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 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 @zaibatsu have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 17% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @zaibatsu post?
- Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.23 posts per day across the measured window.
