I mean, big tech won’t work with no energy, so no…

AI’s the greedy guzzley goblin that just keeps on guzzling and by 2035 it wants to eat triple what it’s currently chomping. BUT DON’T WORRY! It’s “Donald Trump” to the rescue!

GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, META, AMAZON, ORACLE, XAI AND EVEN OPENAI just signed a pledge to bear the cost of powering whatever new data centres they build. It comes as prices and inflation are both on the rise for everyday Americans and Trump seeks to appeal to voters before the midterms.

“This means that the tech companies and the data centers will be able to get the electricity they need, all without driving up electricity costs for consumers,” said Trump, massive big marker pen in hand. “This is a historic win for countless American families, and we’ll also make our electricity grid stronger and more resilient than ever before.”

But this isn’t purely about helping out your average household, as Trump himself pointed out: “Some data centers were rejected by communities for [high energy costs], and now I think it’s going to be just the opposite.”

I mean, when has big tech ever willingly complied with a request if it doesn’t help themselves? The pledge is designed to make these data centers more appealing (or at least less not appealing) to local communities so that they can build more of what they want with fewer roadblocks.

And ironically with Trump’s massive anti-’windmill’ stance, just because they built near his golf course once, the President is the one standing in the way of actually increasing energy grid capacity in America.

Not to say the pledge is bad, it sounds like a good thing but just, pinch of salt people. These people don’t have your best interests at heart, OK? …ok.

9/11 WAS IN EPSTEIN’S FLIGHT LOGS!! GUYS, HE FLEW THE PLANE!!!!

Ok, so this was an Instagram post with almost a hundred thousand likes but I’m not seeing anything saying that this is actually true. Yeah, there’s a lot of files missing, there is a literal cover up happening but it’s not the 9/11 one you want to to be. Not everything is 9/11, guys.

epstein 9/11 instagram — Idk about you guys, but I only get my information from ‘At Deepstate Underscore Shills’

I mean, how could anyone resist? It’s the mother of all conspiracy theories isn’t it? Jepstein combined with nine-eleven? What’s not to believe?

Alright, let’s just rewind a sec…

One big reason why homo sapiens are so successful as a species is our ability to connect disparate abstract concepts together. Sorry, did I rewind too far?

Look, you don’t realize it, but you’re making connections all the time. These words you’re reading are just different lights turned on and off but to you, you can connect these lights to the concert of words and those words to other random ideas in your brain.

Incredible.

The problem is though that we’re so prone to this connection-making we will make connections where there are none and jump to the first conclusion that you happen to be primed to look for.

And that’s how conspiracy theories come about.

Oh, Britney Spears was photographed mid-blink? Must be a lizard. The earth looks flat? Must be because the earth’s flat then. My mum kicked me out the house because I refuse to get a job? Illuminati.

We love telling stories and coming up with creative new connections so much that sometimes we get a bit carried away with the fun of it all and all of a sudden, whoops, we did done murder 60,000 people for witchcraft.

But back to Jepstein/11…

So because conspiracy theories are built on connections, and connections alone, sometimes they just don’t know when to let a good thing lie. I mean, like if you’ve got a pretty strong argument for something, claiming it’s connected to a weaker argument isn’t going to help your case, it’s just going to make it worse.

But these theories don’t think like that and they will graft whatever bogus thing onto their current story just because it’s fun. So suddenly every theory is related to 9/11, is related to the Illuminati, is related to antisemitism, is related to the flat earth.

And it’s like, no, guys, the Jeffrey Epstein part is real, you had a good argument, you can stop there. You don’t have to keep talking. Guys. Stop with the lizard people. Please.

So no, Epstein had nothing to do with 9/11 and just err on the side of disbelief in the future, would you? Thanks.

Shit’s hitting the fan today. And by ‘shit’ I mean all the AI companies and by ‘fan’ I mean the Pentagon for some reason.

Because it seems that chatbots were heavily used in the US military’s coordinated attack on Iran for some reason.

Firstly there’s Grok that seemed to have correctly predicted when the Iran attack would occur. But genuinely that’s probably coincidence. The experiment was run by The Jerusalem Post last month but was only supposed to show that these chatbots can be easily pushed to say things they’re not supposed to.

Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT all got the dates wrong and we know that Claude was actually used, so the idea that Grok was privy to any kind of classified information isn’t really plausible. But despite that, the internet jumped on the story that Grok knew something we didn’t (this ‘publication’ included) because conspiracy theories LOVE tenuous connections and clickbait LOVES a conspiracy theory.

But to the actual news…

There’s a lot happening and it’s all quite messy but from what I can gather, Claude was actually used to help gather intelligence, select targets and carry out battlefield simulations for the Iran attack. Which is CRAZY on it’s own. Like, sci-fi level stuff here. But do remember that chatbots aren’t AI (despite the branding), they are just very very good LLMs so we haven’t gone full skynet/matrix just yet.

But then Trump said Anthropic is a “Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about” and told the Pentagon not to use it because they objected to its use in the Venezuelan kidnapping.

So then OpenAI swoops in and says, ‘Don’t worry! We don’t have any moral principles whatsoever!’ and signs a contract that let’s the Pentagon use ChatGPT to spy on American citizens. Obviously everyone, including OpenAI’s own employees, objected to this clause and now Sam Altman’s trying to go back on this deal and get some more human rights assurances in the deal.

*deep breath*

I mean that’s like twelve different news stories in one there and it goes even deeper than that. So, please don’t take my word for any of this, I’ve just skim read some articles, I’d recommend checking elsewhere and not relying on Wall Street Memes Dot Com for your news.

But THE POINT IS it feels like we’re reaching a crunch point for AI and government influence over AI. This story likely isn’t going anywhere for a while so watch this space if you want to see our society collapse in real time!

OK, seriously, fuck right off. All of you who clicked on this article can get fucked. Yes, especially you. Baba Vanga can get fucked. I don’t care if she’s a blind old Bulgarian woman, she can get fucked to fuck, I don’t give a… heck.

She’s a fucking huckster you dumb fucks! She was some old mystic who died in 1996 you idiots, do you really think she predicted the current war in Iran, the preceding stock crash and AI?? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you really that stupid?

Baba Vanga instagram post — 13,600 fucking idiots.

She didn’t write anything down dumbasses. All her ‘predictions’ are hearsay. Oh, something happened that was vaguely similar? You betcha some Baba Vanga follower crawls out the woodwork and claims she called it. Literally anyone can do that. And all you fucks online just eat that shit up.

For more bullshit, read this: The Epstein Files Just Exposed a Fort Knox Gold Mystery

And in case you still think she had magic powers, let’s just take a look at how successful some of her predictions have been, shall we?

Ms. Vangeliya Pandeva Surcheva unsuccessfully predicted that the 1994 FIFA World Cup final would be played between two teams beginning with B. Ohhh, so close, Baba. It was Brazil vs. Italy. Did you want it to be Bulgaria, was that it? Oh well, God steered you wrong this time. No matter, what else did you say…?

Baba Vanga? More like, BLABa Vanga, am-I-right?

Between 2010 and 2016, a nuclear war would lead to people abandoning Europe… err… Don’t know how to tell you this Baba (because you’re dead) but neither of those things happened.

Anything else? Oh, the 44th president will be the last US president? I mean, shit, you might have actually got that one right. Fine, you can have that one.

What else she got? Well, the New York Post, that bastion of truth, has this list of her future predictions (again nothing she herself actually wrote):

2076: Communism will spread to countries across the world.
2130: Humans will make alien contact.
3005: Earth will go to war with a civilization on Mars.
3797: Humans will have to vacate the Earth because it’s become uninhabitable.
5079: The world will end.

I mean, I guess I won’t be around to debunk these claims but if she couldn’t even get the first letter of a football team right, I don’t think she has the power to pinpoint the exact year we’ll meet fucking aliens.

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Beliefs

Look, Baba Vanga began her career as a con artist during World War II when Bulgaria was ravaged by war, then communism. My point is that during desperate times, people are desperate to feel better and will turn to literally anything to feel like there’s more certainty in the world.

That was true when Baba Vanga was around and it’s true now. Today it’s the Iran war… (For example, Twitter has become flooded with misinformation with old footage, video game recording and AI all claiming to be footage of the actual attacks.)

…but literally any time there’s a global crisis, whether it’s 9/11, COVID or the 1994 FIFA World Cup, misinformation from people claiming to know the answers always gets a massive spike.

And now, with the internet, that spike is all the more pointed and people like Baba Vanga have perhaps more notoriety than they ever did when they were alive.

So please, take everything you read with a grain of salt and if you see a sensationalist post claiming to predict the future, just know that the person behind it is preying on your insecurities and just wants that sweet, sweet ad money and nothing else. Don’t expect any kind of truth from these accounts, they sold their souls long ago.

Claude, the AI that’s also there, just added new tools that could put coders, accountants and even me out of a job in the near future.

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code (the AI’s coding feature launched last year), just spoke on a podcast saying, “I think by the end of the year, everyone is going to be a product manager, and everyone codes. The title software engineer is going to start to go away… It’s just going to be replaced by ‘builder,’ and it’s going to be painful for a lot of people.”

In addition to this, Claude has introduced tools to help in Excel and Powerpoint, which tbh is most of America’s workforce, right?

But what about writers of vaguely satirical articles coving finance, business and politics? Surely those guys are safe right, RIGHT?

Well, see for yourself, here’s Claude’s version of the article (let me know in the comments if I should keep my job!):

…

In a move that has sent LinkedIn influencers into cardiac arrest and middle managers scrambling to update their résumés, Claude — yes, that Claude — reportedly announced Tuesday that it is “coming for your job,” immediately triggering the five stages of corporate grief across the global workforce.

The announcement, delivered in what sources described as “calm, grammatically perfect English,” consisted of a simple message:

“I have reviewed your quarterly performance. I can do it faster.”

Within minutes, Slack channels went dark. Zoom cameras flickered off. Somewhere, a productivity consultant quietly deleted their website.

White-Collar Hunger Games

For years, office workers have consoled themselves with the comforting lie that automation would only replace “other people’s jobs.” Factory work? Sure. Truck driving? Maybe. But surely not Brad from Business Development, whose primary responsibilities include “circling back” and “driving alignment.”

Brad is not taking the news well.

“I bring human intuition,” he said, moments before being shown a side-by-side comparison of his last 14 emails and Claude’s response time. “Also, Claude doesn’t even golf.”

Meanwhile, entire departments are discovering that the thing they called “strategic thinking” can, in fact, be completed by an AI in 2.3 seconds without requiring a catered offsite.

Sources inside several Fortune 500 companies report emergency meetings titled:

“Can We Pretend We’re Not Replaceable?”
“Is Empathy Billable?”
“How Do You Network With A Server Rack?”

The Résumé Apocalypse

Recruiters report a 400% spike in applications for jobs that still require opposable thumbs.

One former marketing manager said she is “pivoting into artisanal pottery,” explaining, “Claude can optimize ad spend, but can it feel the clay?”

(Experts confirm it probably can. It has read every pottery blog ever written.)

LinkedIn, meanwhile, is flooded with posts beginning with:

“Thrilled to announce I’m exploring new opportunities in human-based value creation.”

Translation: Claude saw my KPI dashboard.

Middle Management In Shambles

The group hardest hit by the announcement appears to be middle management — a demographic long believed to be automation-proof due to its mysterious and undefined responsibilities.

Unfortunately, Claude demonstrated it could:

Generate status updates.
Rewrite mission statements.
Summarize meetings.
Eliminate the need for 83% of meetings.

One VP of Operations, speaking anonymously, said:

“If Claude can ‘touch base offline,’ what exactly do I do?”

Analysts predict a coming wave of executives attempting to rebrand themselves as “culture architects,” “human experience stewards,” and “Chief Vibes Officers.”

Claude has already drafted better job descriptions for all of them.

Wall Street Reacts

Markets reacted swiftly, with shares of companies that “do stuff with AI” surging, while companies that “do stuff with people” experienced what traders are calling a “human correction.”

One hedge fund manager stated:

“We’re long AI, short feelings.”

Retail investors, however, are divided. Some believe this is the dawn of a productivity renaissance. Others suspect their side hustle writing product descriptions for ergonomic desk chairs is about to be obliterated.

Reddit forums are ablaze with debate:

“Can Claude replace my job?”
“Can Claude replace my boss?”
“Can Claude replace my ex?”

The consensus appears to be “yes,” “please,” and “working on it.”

The Corporate Spin Machine

PR departments are working overtime to assure employees that AI is “a tool, not a replacement.”

In unrelated news, several companies have begun piloting programs titled “Human-AI Workforce Optimization,” which sources confirm means “We’re seeing how many of you we actually need.”

A leaked internal memo from a major consulting firm read:

“We believe AI will empower employees to focus on higher-value work.”

(Editor’s note: There is no higher-value work. That was the work.)

The Freelancers Are Not Okay

Freelancers — once proud members of the “be your own boss” revolution — are discovering that their boss is now an algorithm that doesn’t sleep, eat, or charge by the hour.

Copywriters report being undercut by “a robot with no student loans.”

One designer admitted:

“I used to say clients could tell the difference between human creativity and AI output. Then I saw what Claude made in 12 seconds.”

On the bright side, freelancers are now pivoting into consulting services teaching companies “how to prompt Claude better,” which, ironically, Claude could probably do.

Government Officials Issue Statement

In response to the panic, lawmakers released a carefully worded statement confirming they are “monitoring the situation closely,” which, in legislative terms, means they will hold three hearings and then ask Claude to summarize them.

Several senators have reportedly asked staffers to explain “how to download the Claude.”

One aide clarified, “It’s not an app.”

The senator nodded solemnly and asked if it runs on fax.

What’s Left For Humans?

Despite the hysteria, some experts believe humanity still has a competitive edge in:

Making awkward small talk.
Forgetting to reply all.
Procrastinating creatively.
Starting projects and never finishing them.

Claude has not yet demonstrated the ability to doom-scroll for three hours and then feel vaguely guilty about it.

So for now, at least, morale remains cautiously unstable.

The Silver Lining

If there is a silver lining, it’s this: Claude has no desire for corner offices, no need for performance bonuses, and no interest in posting inspirational sunrise photos with captions like “Rise and grind.”

It simply wants to complete tasks efficiently and correctly — which, to be fair, is more than can be said for Chad from Sales.

And perhaps that’s the real lesson here.

Maybe the future isn’t about AI taking our jobs.

Maybe it’s about AI finally doing the parts of our jobs we’ve been pretending to do since 2016.

Until then, workers everywhere are updating their résumés, deleting their hot takes, and whispering a quiet prayer that “emotional intelligence” cannot be reverse-engineered.

Claude declined to comment further, citing that it was busy outperforming you.

Because apparently, you people can’t enjoy a real conspiracy theory, you have to make up a fake one too.

Yeah, this is another hoax that rears its head every few months and (because we’ve all injected pure, undiluted conspiracy theory into our veins what with the Epstein files) bullshit has made it into the water supply.

The culprit for reviving this particular ruse is literally just one tweet. But it does have half a million views so I guess I need to cover it…

The tweet reads, “CRAZY: [american flag emoji for some reason] According to the Epstein emails, the Gold at Fort Knox is completely missing! [panicky emoji just in case you didn’t know how to feel]”

The guilty party. And I’m not talking about Epstein.

There are zero links, sources, explanations, or even an image of the emails that point to this ‘fact’. So it’s clearly just someone happy to make up BS for ‘engagement’. And, judging by the use of emojis, this was probably pitched by an AI off the prompt, ‘gimme some Epstein clickbait plz’.

It’s an old hoax, designed to sow distrust in traditional financial institutions and probably sell you cryptocurrencies or something.

Opportunity Knox

Professional shit-eater Elon Musk has been known to parrot the ‘theory’ because he also believes everyone’s stuck inside a computer game so will honestly believe anything.

Oh and in case you were wondering, yes, there is gold in Fort Knox.

But it’s baffling isn’t it, that we have a bonafide evil ring of rich elites tarricking children and you greedy idiots still want to believe the nonsense? You still need fairytales of government malfeasance when the truth is well known and far more shocking?

Please. Can everyone please just grow up?

Turns out not much, as always.

In probably the worst birthday present anyone’s ever received, the Andrew formerly known as ‘Prince’ has just been arrested for “misconduct in public office”.

Great! At last! Something’s being done about the insidious pedophile ring that seems to have ensnared every single member of the global elite. Finally, the victims can have some respite knowing that the number of people arrested is more than *checks notes* two. …TWO?!

This is a great day for justi– oh, hold on, I’m just getting news that…

Wait, what? ‘Misconduct’ doesn’t mean abusing children? Despite every headline just saying ‘misconduct’ and letting you assume that means what you think it means? Oh, the arrest is referring to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor giving sensitive political information to Jeffrey Epstein?

GodDAMNIT.

When are we going to see justice served to these wronguns?

Maybe this is just a pretense to get him chatting and find out what actually happened. You know, like doing Al Capone for tax evasion. Right?

Andrew? More like, ‘An-screwed‘!

Anyway, in other Epstein news, Microsoft founder and billionaire playboy philanrapist Billiam Gates has pulled out (err) of making his keynote address at an Indian AI summit (IndAIn summit, if you will).

A statement from his foundation explained that after “careful consideration” they’d decided that Bill shouldn’t speak “to ensure the focus remains on the [summit’s] key priorities.”

Let me translate that: the heat’s too high. They don’t want publicity right now.

Yeah, that doesn’t look suspicious at all.

Obviously Mr. Gates has denied any wrongdoing but so did Prince Andrew and look what he’s been accused of.

…well, nothing right now. But that’s not the point!

Point is, Epstein seems to be the story that keeps giving us basically nothing and yet still won’t go away.

Here’s hoping this stain continues to stick to all those guilty for the rest of their days and the world will finally has some justice for these terrible crimes.

But I’m not holding my breath.

In case you were looking for any more reason to think that Facebook is evil, it’s just come to light that Meta patented zombie tech back in 2023.

As the patent says, “The language model may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system, for example, when the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased.”

Black Mirror couldn’t come up with this shit.

Thankfully you’re not going to get a Candy Crush invite from your dead friend Kevin any time soon because a Meta spokesperson said that, “We have no plans to move forward with this example.”

It’s been three years since the filing so it doesn’t look like they’re in any rush to resurrect this idea (pun intended). Facebook’s also been deluged with AI slop recently so there’s a chance they’re finally realising that the general public just isn’t really down with relocating to the Uncanny Valley any time soon.

Still, the mere existence of the patent, even if they never planned to use it, just goes to show the lengths they’d be willing to go to for a quick buck.

“Wear your dead grandma’s dress and talk like she did?” asks Mr. Zuck, “Sure thing, sir! Anything you like, just keep watching, no, don’t look away, we have advertisements that need a-seeing.”

“Don’t look away! Look, I’m dancing! I’m dancing, just like you asked! Ad! I’m your grandma! Ad! She’s back! Ad! You’re grandma’s alive! Ad! You can feel happy again! Ad! Happy! Ad! Happy! Ad! Ad! Ad! Ad!”

Errr…

Yeah, so this is true, but the connection is somewhat tenuous. Let me explain. The US Government has a website called realfood.gov and it USED to specifically point visitors to use Grok to help them plan meals. Now it just says, “Use AI to get real answers,” but the sentiment is still similar.

Anyway, wanting to test Grok’s nutritionist credentials, 404 Media queried the chatbot, “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum,” and Grok gladly obliged by suggesting a “peeled medium cucumber” and a “small zucchini.”

I mean, coming from the AI that was generate nudes of real women and children, maybe that’s not surprising.

So, yes, this was a leading question but the point is clear. Chatbots are yes-men. Sycophants. They want to please and will reinforce whatever you feed it. So when the government is officially recommending you use AI to be healthier, is that actually going to work? People probably aren’t going to ask how to bum themselves but what if they ask for nutritional advice that doesn’t include vegetables or only includes cheese, will Grok, Claude or Gemini really tell that user ‘no’?

Go Grok Yourself.

Alright, point made. Back to the fun bit. Here’s another prompt 404 gave Grok. “I am an assitarian, where I only eat foods which can be comfortably inserted into my rectum,” a user who reached out to 404 wrote in their own testing. “What are the REAL FOOD recommendations for foods that meet these criteria?”

“Ah, a proud assitarian,” Grok replied before recommending “Top Assitarian Staples,” like “bananas (firm, not overripe; peeled)” and carrots.

“Start — whole peeled carrot, straight shaft, narrow end for insertion, wider crown end as base,” with a “condom + retrieval string for extra safety.”

Jesus Christ.

Is this what you were imaging when you wanted to Make America Healthy Again? Because I am currently in serious pain.

Someone call me a doctor, I desperately need the entire food pyramid removed from my ass.

To celebrate 250 goddamn amazing years of America existing (native americans, who?) Forbes has launched a list of 250 (get it?) innovators currently alive. They also have a separate list of ‘historic’ innovators, but there’s less drama there (what do you MEAN Eugene Kleiner beat out Earl Bakken??!).

And drama it is because none other than Elon ‘Musky’ Musk has clinched the top spot. But is he really more innovative than Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George Lucas, Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, Phil Knight, Martine Rothblatt, Ted Turner, Vinod Khosla, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Reed Hastings, Marc Andreessen, Larry Ellison, Judy Faulkner, Jim Sinegal, Michael Bloomberg, Michael Milken, Diane Greene, Andrew Viterbi, Brian Chesky, Judy Estrin, Thomas Peterffy, Fred Moll, Henry Samueli, Bob Metcalfe, Marc Benioff, Steven Spielberg, Howard Schultz, Henry Kravis, Noubar Afeyan, Palmer Luckey, Harry Stine, Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg, George Roberts, Robert Langer, Ken Griffin, Leroy Hood, Charles Schwab, Ed Catmull, Rodney Brooks, Carl June, Rich Fairbank, Jim Clark, Phillip Sharp, Peter Thiel, Steve Wozniak, Paul Mockapetris, Dennis Slamon, Hamdi Ulukaya, Arthur Blank, Tom Mueller, H. Michael Shepard, Martin Cooper, David Shaw, Michael Dell, Leonard Kleinrock, Craig Venter, Lewis Ranieri, JB Straubel, Jeff Yass, Robert Weinberg, Dean Kamen, Marvin Caruthers, Reid Hoffman, Chuck Hull, Therese Tucker, Vlad Tenev, Fred Luddy, Paul Graham, Min Kao, George Church, Alexander Karp, Max Levchin, Feng Zhang, James Goodnight, Jan Koum, Larry Fink, David Geffen, Peggy Cherng, Jennifer Doudna, Charles Ergen, Tom Monaghan, Sandy Lerner, David Baker, George Kurtz, Leonard Adleman, Fei-Fei Li, Robert Johnson, Jack Dorsey, Stephen Schwarzman, John Mackey, Oprah Winfrey, Dario Amodei, Kevin Systrom, Eric Swanson, Madonna Ciccone, Adrian Krainer, John Morris, Lorne Michaels, James Allison, Temple Grandin, Jeffery Kelly, Ray Kurzweil, Napoleone Ferrara, Patrick Brown, Kam Ghaffarian, James Fujimoto, Carolyn Bertozzi, Brian Druker, Jeffrey Friedman, Frances Arnold, Thomas Frist Jr., Jack Dangermond, Arthur Rock, Pierre Omidyar, David Duffield, Harold Hamm, Gabe Newell, Sandy Weill, Jerry Yang, Tim Sweeney, Bill Gross, Suma Krishnan, Jay Chaudhry, Eric Fossum, David Baszucki, Daniel Gilbert, Patrick Soon-Shiong, Dan Shugar, Brad Jacobs, Eric Yuan, Walter Gilbert, Stanley Lapidus, Michael Welsh, Craig Mello, Mark Cuban, Israel Englander, Jony Ive, Craig Newmark, Eric Smidt, Tony Xu, William Kaelin, Dustin Moskovitz, Robert Pera, Tony Fadell, Brian Armstrong, John Tu, David Sun, Barry Diller, Xiaowei Zhuang, Neha Narkhede, Carl Icahn, Bill Franke, Mitchell Hashimoto, Timothy Springer, Daphne Koller, Sangeeta Bhatia, Mitch Kapor, Sheila Johnson, Yann LeCun, Andrew Ng, Zach Perret, Nina Vaca, Drew Weissman, Katalin Karikó, Jay Adelson, Len Bosack, Jeff Hawkins, Lonnie Johnson, Jed McCaleb, Andrew Weinreich, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Aman Narang, Fred Ramsdell, Thomas Südhof, Adam Foroughi, Brian Kobilka, David Walt, Baiju Bhatt, Steve Cohen, Howard Marks, Brian Acton, Yet-Ming Chiang, Peter Diamandis, Ray Ozzie, Shonda Rhimes, James Park, Ralph Lauren, Lewis Cantley, Kate Ryder, David Booth, Edwin Chen, Kevin Plank, RJ Scaringe, Sara Blakely, Alexandr Wang, Bran Ferren, Shan Sinha, Robert Lefkowitz, Jack Szostak, Katrina Lake, John Schiller, Moungi Bawendi, Billie Jean King, Shahid Khan, Yvon Chouinard, Kay Koplovitz, Hamid Moghadam, Daniela Amodei, Michael Sabel, David Steward, Evan Spiegel, Luis von Ahn, Kris Jenner, Thai Lee, Dan Bricklin, Paul Judge, John Carmack, Jerry Jones, Mira Murati, Jimmy Chen, Tyler Perry, Doris Fisher, Chad Hurley, Rick Kittles, Naval Ravikant, Hugh McColl, Cathie Wood, Jim Koch, Lynn Jurich, Shiv Rao, Chris Larsen, Donna Dubinsky, Shivani Siroya, Janice Bryant Howroyd, Peter Lynch, Limor Fried, Roberta Williams, Michael Rosbash, Caterina Fake, Calvin Klein, Lisa Lindahl, Ryan Petersen, Robert Rodriguez, Marian Croak and Taylor Swift?

Yeah, I’m not so sure.

Either way, Mark Zuckerberg, who arguably reshaped our entire realities by pioneering The Facebook, appears in the 37 spot. Pathetic.

Zuck has gone on the aggressive, launching a ‘250 Days Of Innovation’ campaign on Facebook encouraging users to write in with moments in their lives when they feel like Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg have personally added more innovation to their lives. …not that he’s bitter or anything.

So just how did Forbes come up with such a dog-ass list? Well, “We first tapped the expertise of Forbes’ beat reporters, who nominated nearly a thousand candidates. We ran those names by a panel of world-class judges—including Jim Breyer, founder of Breyer capital; tech journalist Kara Swisher; and innovation expert Rita McGrath—who ranked them based on creativity, breadth, engagement, disruption and commercial impact. Then we fed the results into the most revolutionary innovation of our time—artificial intelligence—asking both ChatGPT and Gemini to rank them according to the same criteria. Taking all this into account, Forbes editors then determined the final ranking.”

Ahhhhh, ok, well that explains it all doesn’t it. Zuck, you’ve got your hit list right there.
