Gavin McCracken, with the X handle @GavMcCracken, is a real person. He is a PhD student in computer science at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, with a research focus on artificial intelligence, deep learning, and neural networks.

His X activity shows him engaging with tech and finance communities, often referencing his PhD to substantiate claims (e.g., dismissing AI consciousness in LLMs or critiquing model scaling).
