Hi everyone, including StockHound81 over on HC, whom I trust will be reading this,
the image @Humble Genius posted with the added line “Existing members of Tsex or HC forums an advantage” is not a screenshot of the original LinkedIn job ad by BrainChip. I assume it was his idea of a joke, given the real LinkedIn ad does say “Monitor and listen to industry social account and groups for key topics”.
I know for sure it wasn’t the original, as I happened to be the poster who had posted the original (without the added TSE/HC line!) shortly before @Humble Genius posted the altered version, which he should have marked as parody to avoid all the confusion, although as @jrp173 correctly noted, it is in a different font from LinkedIn posts and was thus discernible as a joke to me personally (who had also just posted a screenshot of the real ad and was thus doubly aware of the inauthenticity of the added line). And I also agree that it is highly unlikely that BrainChip would include those forum abbreviations in a job ad for a US-based social media intern unlikely to have ever heard of them.
Saying that, there has indeed been a bit of editing/deleting going on with BrainChip LinkedIn posts in recent months, and in addition, the AGM webcast never got uploaded to YouTube (and we all know why…), so it should not come as a surprise when some people’s suspicion gets aroused.
Here is the proof (I needed to take two screenshots, as the ad was too long for one - the second screenshot starts below the lines I had marked in green):

Meanwhile, the contested post by @Humble Genius has apparently been deleted. It was between mine and that of @smoothsailing18 (to whom it was addressed), and @smoothsailing18’s reaction is still visible.

Let me make this clear: While the image @Humble Genius posted was not a screenshot of the original LinkedIn job ad, StockHound81 did not alter or forge that screenshot in any way, if it is the same as the one shown in @jrp173 ’s post (since I don’t have an HC account, I can read the texts, but images/screenshots posted are mostly blurry). It was definitely posted here on TSE on 7 June 2025 and was not marked as a parody post. I can vouch for that.
So yes, StockHound81 may in this case be “guilty” of gullibleness, but those posters who have accused him of forgery or criminal behaviour, apparently claiming the user were a paid downramper that wanted to harm the company owe him an apology, if you ask me…
Anyway, it would be best if @Humble Genius could clear up the confusion himself.
