In Aug 2022, for shits ‘n’ giggles I decided to do a quick-dive into a complete rando on the Bilderberg list of attendees.

I chose someone with a literal closed-eye fingerpoke named Mustafa Suleyman. Here’s what I found within 30mins of research:

“Born in August 1984, Mustafa Suleyman co-founded DeepMind Technologies, a British artificial intelligence company, in 2010 with Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg. Bought in 2014 by Google for more than $628 million. Deepmind aims to find ” the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.””

Now heads an AI startup called Inflection AI that seeks to develop software that allows humans to talk to computers using everyday language.

“Inflection AI, the machine learning startup headed by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and founding DeepMind member Mustafa Suleyman, has secured $225 million in equity financing, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The source of the capital isn’t yet clear — Inflection didn’t immediately respond to a request for more information — but the massive round suggests strong investor confidence in Suleyman, who serves as the company’s CEO.

[…]

A cloud surrounds Inflection, somewhat, following reports that Suleyman allegedly bullied staff members at Google, where he worked after being placed on administrative leave at DeepMind for controversy surrounding some of his projects. Google launched an investigation into his behavior at the time, according to the Wall Street Journal, but it never made its findings public.”

“Palo Alto, California-based Inflection has kept a low profile to date, granting relatively few interviews to the media.”

“DARPA says that the goal is to “evaluate and build trusted algorithmic decision-makers for mission-critical Department of Defense operations.” Dubbed “In the Moment,” or ITM, it focuses on the process of alignment — building AI systems that accomplish what they’re expected to accomplish. “ITM is different from typical AI development approaches that require human agreement on the right outcomes,” ITM program manager Matt Turek said in a statement. “The lack of a right answer in difficult scenarios prevents us from using conventional AI evaluation techniques, which implicitly requires human agreement to create ground-truth data.””

My personal take: Suleyman is a puppet for creating non-piloted drone software, which won’t be subject to human ‘hesitancy’.
