I recruit in this area and wish you all the best. One piece of advice: change your name. In my experience the sharpest minds are intellectually honest to a fault, and would rarely describe themselves that way.

I'd go further and say: The current name is outright cringeworthy.

Agreed. The name seems like an advertisement that you think everyone outside your company or community is less intelligent. IMO that crosses the line separating puffery / self-promotion from outright insult.

Definitely not intended that way. We'll put some thought into changing it based on everyone's feedback.

It’s like asking Bill Gates to join a community ‘filthyRich’ it correctly correlates with his wealth. But we also know, he would instantly hit the spam button on such a pitch.

After I cringed at the name, I thought you must mean the people who develop the sharpest AI minds. If so, that would be clever.

But yeah, a different name would be better.
