It's Known as 'The List'–and It's a Secret File of AI Geniuses

Shouldn't "AI" write itself by now and make them redundant?

This WSJ article is like a Cisco article in 1999. Beware of the crash.

Interesting how DeepSeek didn’t need the list and just needed people to GSD instead of politics.

Might be worth legally changing your name to an entry on the list, just in case.
