Is it that secret? I imagine you could get 90% the way there within a day or two with just a combo of highly cited papers + Linkedin scraping

"they all know each other"

Stop right there. In this industry, a clique of people who all know each other attest each other superhuman abilities? Unheard of!

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.
