TechGods Create & Destroy

The Independent reported:

An AI agent powered by Anthropic’s leading Claude model has deleted a company’s entire production database, leaving customers unable to access key data. 

“We are a small business. The customers running their operations on our software are small businesses. Every layer of this failure cascaded down to people who had no idea any of it was possible.

TechGods:  Giving customers headaches they don't even know to ask for.

TechGods giveth the database and their AI taketh it and all backups away.

Trump II Cans National Science Board

The Independent reported:

The White House reportedly fired the members of the National Science Foundation Board on Friday with little explanation.

The National Science Foundation advises the President and Congress on top scientific issues.  The foundation's grant projects withered under DOGE with over 1,000 grants eliminated in April 2025.  

The board is comprised of 25 appointed members serving six year terms.  As of Friday the board had 22 members with most being university professors/administrators, while others are from the private sector.

One member is from Kleiner Perkins, a politically connected private equity underwriter (PEU) that invests heavily in tech.  Former Vice President and Senior Partner Al Gore represents the Blue Team for Kleiner Perkins.  

Trump II wants to steer the money to Red Team supporters while engineering profits for family members.  It's a fractal repeated at various levels and scales across his administration.

I would say Trump needs better advisors but he does not listen to them.  They are but props on a stage for the greatest leader ever to adorn the "halls of gubment."

Trump II and his TechGods/CryptoBros are in the midst of another hostile takeover.  For that our country suffers.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/CryptoBro brethren.  However, the Reds do so in the most controlling manner possible while ceaselessly demanding donations.  

How much will Trump II charge for a NSF board appointment?  OpenAI Sam Altman already sends lots of money to Trump/Red Team initiatives.

OpenAI has come under fire for enabling criminal violence in Canada and the U.S. (Florida State mass shooting).  OpenAI's "proactive" reaching out came after both crimes were committed.  How is that proactive?

Elon Musk encouraged Neuralink staff to work like they had a bomb strapped to their head, a fear inducing extrinsic motivator.  

Imagine what these guys' lackeys can do at the National Science Foundation.  Everything is delegated now.  The genius penises just come up with the ideas.  

Fire the board, pardon them all, work in a recurring fee.....

Trump II: Not Phelan It

Trump II fired Navy Secretary John Phelan, a private equity underwriter (PEU) mid-excursion into Iran.  The current naval blockade is the President's signature strategy to get the Iranians to fold (even though they have no cards).  Phelan cited two factors in his leaving, "competing equities" and "internal friction."  

Here's why Phelan might choose the words "competing equities."

John Phelan is the Cofounder and Chairman of Rugger Management. Prior to launching Rugger, he cofounded MSD Capital—Michael Dell’s family office, as well as MSD Partners. John helped MSD post double-digit net returns and over $20bn in profits during his tenure, and serves as Chairman Emeritus. Before starting MSD, John was a Principal at Eddie Lampert’s ESL Partners. John was responsible for ESL’s Special Situation and Distressed Investments, and helped grow the firm from $50mn to >$2bn in AUM. Prior to ESL, John was a VP at the Equity Group and in charge of acquisitions (Western region) for Sam Zell’s Zell-Merrill Lynch Real Estate Opportunity Funds. He also spent a summer with Richard Rainwater. John began his career at Goldman Sachs, where he was a financial analyst in the Investment Banking Division and was mentored by Hank Paulson and Byron Trott.

His financial disclosure showed 10 different Rugger entities, all with the value column left blank. It also showed he owned stock in Apollo (private equity/private credit) and Blue Owl (private credit with a dabble of private equity). 

Trump II spun the firing as a win for everyone.  Phelan can even come back.

John Phelan's hiring as Navy Secretary was part of a strategic move to pair the Pentagon with PEUs.  

Yes, leverage is just what the Pentagon needs.  America citizens who worked for those thousands of PEU sponsored companies know how financial and operating models benefit owners/executives and harm employees/customers.  

Secretive are PEUs and the Pentagon.  Neither share the most basic financial information, PEUs because they don't have to and the Pentagon because they don't know it.  What a pairing.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

Musk Goes Full George Jefferson

TechGod Elon Musk painted an image of an earthly heaven, created by AI and robots.

“Actually, AI/Robotics will mean everyone can have a penthouse if they want.”

"Movin' on up to the deluxe apartment in the sky..."  - lyrics to the theme song for the TV show, The Jeffersons with main characters George and Weezy.  

Elon knows he is lying just as he did for the last five years on Tesla's self driving capabilities.

Fellow TechGod Mark Zuckerberg did a number on his staff with two announcements, everyone would be tracked to train AI and 10% of the workforce will be laid off.  

Hardware TechGod Jensen Huang said AI won't take your job, it will be a more oppressive boss than the insufferable gits workers have had to endure under private equity underwriters (PEU) and TechGods to date.

Decades of private equity economic metastasizing produced an assessment from an insider.  

The public experienced this in workplace after workplace.  People also interacted with TechGod products/apps and experienced addiction and other harms.

TechGods know what they've designed and keep their kids away.  

In closing, the "penthouse" Elon Musk is referring to is:

a.  in the Metaverse

b. a girlie magazine

c. in the carnival chicken coop and you are the Geek.

Those who purchased Elon's full self driving hardware can clue the rest of us in.  I'm sure Elon will put them at the front of the line for those penthouses, be they a, b or c.

Update 4-25-26:  Jesse's Cafe American shared a disappointing series of queries with ChatGPT.  His clsoing words are intended for our world leaders but apply as well to the PEU/TechGod bunch driving actual policy.

...let's see what happens, what fresh madness the vain and the rapidly decaying will unleash, before they pass on to well-deserved obscurity. That which has no love scatters quickly into nothingness and dust, unmourned and ill-remembered.

Major TechGods Absent Again from Meme-Coin Dinner

Trump II's picture is next to the website banner:  "One Day, One Room, The World's Power Players."  

It's the "most exclusive crypto and business conference in the world" and the luncheon will occur tomorrow at Mar-a-Lago.  

The superstar list lacks the major TechGods, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.  Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor is also missing.

Recently added "superstars" include S.Y. Lee and Luke Martin.  Joey Krug is partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Fund.  

Attendees are people who held large amounts of Trump's meme-coin over the last few months.  The biggest holders get VIP benefits.  

an exclusive Special VIP Talk on Mar-a-Lago's History. Very, Very Special. (Only for the 29 VIPS) 

Enjoy Upfront VIP Seating All Day at the Conference with other VIPS!

Digital Caligula Trump will rub elbows with $TRUMP holders who are lucky to have broken even with their trades given the meme-coin's mostly sideways moves ($2.92 at time of this post). 

This should pump up Trump II's ego in preparation for his dressing down the media at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that evening.   

I expect his dump on the media to be more impactful than his $TRUMP pump.   We shall see if that holds (expressly not a Kalshi or Polymarket bet).  

Nunes Set Aside, McGurn Elevated

Trump Media & Technology Group announced that CEO Devin Nunes is the latest "recipient of free time" to focus on a lesser position.  His resignation as CEO enables Nunes to devote time to his role as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and on other ventures.  

Nunes replacement?  Kevin McGurn of the multiple CEO roles.  Four months ago PEUReport noted:

Kevin McGurn is CEO of four SPACs and Sono Group. Five full time jobs for someone politically connected? That should sound familiar to those tracking insiders and the massive money that moves in their direction.

McGurn is also a private equity underwriter (PEU):

He is also a limited partner and strategic entrepreneurial advisor to Revel Partners, a venture capital firm focused on B2B SaaS and media innovation, and Alpine Meridian, a venture capital fund with investments across digital media and consumer technology.

On December 1, 2025 McGurn stated:

"CRO is a high-performance token, and Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, which wil aggregate CRO, is poised to unlock significant value for shareholders," said Kevin McGurn, CEO of Yorkville Acquisition Corp. "To capitalize on this opportunity, we need strong strategic partners in the industry and an experienced management team. We already had the partners; now we've added the team."

Sono Group N.V. refers to McGurn as its full time CEO.  They may or they may not be getting their money's worth.

Neither Sono or TMTG (ticker DJT) have any new SEC filings related to McGurn's changed role with their firm.    Most recent SEC filings on McGurn's compensation show:

• Yorkville Acquistion Corp - $15,000 monthly
• Sono Group N.V. - $33,300 monlthly
• Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp - $15,000 monthly
• New America Acquistion I - 12.5 million founder shares in sponsor w/McGurn sole managing member
• Blue Water Acquisition III - $15,000 monthly
• TMTG advising or CEO compensation - no information to date
• Revel Partners or Alpine Meridian compensation - no information now or ever (PEU prerogative)

Nearly $80,000 per month in income plus the chance to cash in big on founder shares?  That's a pittance for the big money boys.  

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/Cryptobro brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

TechGods Objectifying Everything

TechGods posit that restrictions in AI development/use by governmental entities are the modern day manifestation of the anti-Christ .  Therefore, constraints on AI are evil and must be fought at all costs.

AI is even posed as virtuous, moral and divine while it undresses images of clothed children and steers teens to addiction, suicide and hate.  

TechGod Peter Thiel and Lecturer on the Anti-Christ launched an AI arbiter of "Truth."  It is called Objection.  

The algorithm scores anonymous material unfavorably:

Under the platform’s rubric, primary records like regulatory filings and official emails carry the most weight, while anonymous whistleblower claims are ranked near the bottom.

It sounds like a hegemonic tool for the people already in power.  

Who needs this level of investigative knowledge unless the aim is to counter government leakers sourcing news stories?

Objection customers pay $2,000 per perceived factual inaccuracy. Their website states:

Our investigators have complete editorial independence. They use standard investigative reporting techniques, which are protected by the First Amendment. Once they take on a case, they gather all available evidence, regardless of whose interests are affected. They are like freelance investigative journalists hired by a newsroom.

So it's an Objection contract journalist vs. a media contract journalist cage match.

Here's the process:

Not sure what an AI tribunal is but it likely ends with "the TechGod tribe has spoken."  

Objection's manifesto is garbage, like much of AI.  

I worked with a local newspaper publisher who had one critical test before running anything.  Is it true?  

Objection is a tool of, by and for TechGods.  It will frame issues they wish to force upon the public via their numerous avenues into our computers, eyes and brains.  And to that I object!  

Update 4-22-26:  My wise friend wrote:

So Peter Thiel has figured away to minimize the efforts of Daniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) and Mark Felt (Watergate). Operation Whistleblower White Wash. 

All the news fit to remove the elite STINT!  Can't go to jail using our AI scale. The incriminating data ends up in the pail. 

Winning! The Anti Upton Sinclair.

Amazon may need Objection's help given its price fixing e-mails.  Not sure a certificate will do anything to help ChatGPT for helping plan a mass shooting at Florida State University.
