You can actively see a fresh "hype curve" in the transformer-debugger repo that was posted a couple days ago (https://github.com/openai/transformer-debugger) (star history https://star-history.com/#openai/transformer-debugger&Date).

At the time I saw the repo link posted on HN, it had 1.6k stars/16 hours. What channel/platform are people subscribed to to star it so quickly? Discord? I'm not implying any nefariousness, mind you, I'm only wondering where all the stargazers were referred from so fast and in such volume.
