    Is Lisa Su excluded because they don’t respect AMD or because they don’t respect women? Hopefully because she isn’t actually evil and doesn’t wanna be there.

      It’s because is about wealth, not tech, and Lisa isn’t even in the top 1000 richest people.

      EDIT: Looked up, and it seems that Cook, Altman and Pichai are also too poor for this circle

    I didn’t know there was a douche bag conference going on. Glad to see its board members meeting up

    Those are the fall guys. Where are the people of the MIC? Where are the ones with the water rights? Nobody needs Facebook to survive, but everybody needs food, water and medicine.

    This is AI generated (source). I spent a while looking at the image trying to find the usual tells. It’s kinda scary how hard it’s getting to tell AI generated images apart from real ones. I’m sure with a powerful enough model, enough iterations, and the right prompt, it’s almost impossible to tell in some cases.

      To me the tell was that I couldn’t see why the most powerful men in the world would just be all standing in a parking lot with no body guards around.
      If they really wanted to meet they’d be in a dinner party or some shit.

      What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.

        It was actually Elon and the cigar that tipped me off. Can you imagine him possibly looking so natural and “cool” and masculine? He would be holding it so weird that everyone in the circle would be staring at him and he would be doing this really weird laugh while his shoulders turned into cursed parallelogram of flesh and too much bone.

        Also, if it were real I would expect to see Peter Thiel’s face pressed against the glass of the Cybertruck, looking out with bug eyes as he smears oil all over the window.

          Yep. Also half those dudes wouldn’t willfully chat with Musk like this. They can’t stand him either.

            We so desperately want to believe in shadowy cabals of genius villains pulling all the strings.

            One of the harder pills to swallow in the world is that there isn’t anyone “on top.” Nobody is in charge.

            Sure there are people with great power and influence, but even the mightiest among them are just people tripping over themselves, having social anxiety, making poorly calculated moves that conflict with others also trying to act like super villains, and basically everyone, everywhere are just people having the same exact human problems and nobody wants to share power with others or be told they’re wrong.

            The idea of the Shadow Cabal feels thrilling because it also suggests the opposite is possible, that elite groups of heroes can lead us to a better world and we just have to survive or topple the bad guys.

            These ideas are all products of the human need to weave narratives and find our place in complex systems. It’s why conspiracy theories are so addicting to some people.

        That’s what caught my attention too. They poses look like they were taken from keynotes. Especially, Tim Apple’s pose.

      I figured it was. Pretty convincing right down to those annoying black sneakers with white soles that tech billionaires seem to love nowadays.

      Two things i noticed is Jeff’s right ear/hand amalgamation and the feet look funny to the right of sam altman (easier to notice without the meme text). The side blinker on the white car looks a little too embedded in the wheel well but I’m not familiar enough with luxury cars to say for sure if its odd.

      It still takes a lot of examination to start thinking its AI where previously 7 fingers would be a dead give away.

        Apparently that’s how blinkers actually look on Porsches these days. It’s even a bit shitty in the OP image compared to reality.

        Zuck’s face is also completely fucked. He looks like an alien in real life already, but here it looks like his eyes and mouth have been paved over by a layer of skin.

      Didn’t Jobs die before the cybertruck was a thing? That’s uh… a pretty big indication…

      Oh wait, that’s Tim Apple…

        Ask yourself who took those pictures, why, and for whom. There’s no entourage behind or around any of them something that would absolutely never happen when the circle has a combined net worth of trillions of dollars.
