How To Flex on LinkedIn (Part 3) - The Founder
The subversive activities of LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman - my perspectives on AI at the bottom
Comrades: LinkedIn is the cringiest social network and its lefty founder is now seeking to dominate AI.
In How To Flex on LinkedIn Part 1 and Part 2, I provided tips on optimizing your profile and an awards show of the cringiest flexes. Today, I will examine the founder of LinkedIn. While Reid Hoffman is not as well known as Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Brin, Page, or Bezos, he is just as influential and dangerous. He is yet another Democrat megadonor who has spent time at Jeffrey Epstein’s island.
Hoffman is a prototypical Silicon Valley tech billionaire. He was educated at Demoralized DIEvy League Stanford and The Putney School, a progressive Vermont boarding school. Before starting LinkedIn, he was the COO of Paypal where he worked with the legendary PayPal Mafia of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks. Since then, he has run a VC firm called Greylock and become a leading proselytizer of AI. He joined the board the Microsoft after it acquired LinkedIn in 2016. He is also a Democrat megadonor who counts Barack Obama as a “friend” and funded E Jean Carroll’s bogus lawsuit against Trump.
Hoffman could probably inhale his wife and AI frenemy Sam Altman for breakfast. How ironic is it that an AI pioneer is named “Alt Man”?
Are Hoffman and fellow lefty Michael Moore long lost brothers?
Are they cousins with groomer trans Admiral Rachel/Richard Levine (ze/zir) and her doppelganger, Democrat lawfare hatchet man Marc Elias?
LinkedIn recently censored presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for speaking the truth on climate and China:
From Hoffman’s NYT PR propaganda profile:
Mr. Hoffman said his approach was shaped, in part, by his access to “extremely high-quality information flows,” Some is through his business relationships with Microsoft, OpenAI and others. Some is through various philanthropies, like Stanford’s A.I. center. And some is through his political connections. He has poured millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns and political action committees. Barack Obama is a friend, he said.
“Extremely high-quality information flows” = cronyism. “Public private partnership” = fascism.
So in recent months, Mr. Hoffman has engaged in an aggressive thought-leadership regimen to extol the virtues of A.I. He has done so in blog posts, television interviews and fireside chats. He has spoken to government officials around the world. He hosts three podcasts and a YouTube channel. And in March, he published a book, “Impromptu,” co-written with the A.I. tool GPT-4.
The commissar thot leader has your best interests in mind, peasants!
Few are as intertwined in so many facets of the fast-moving industry as Mr. Hoffman. The 55-year-old sits on the boards of 11 tech companies including Microsoft, which has gone all in on A.I., and eight nonprofits. His venture capital firm, Greylock Partners, has backed at least 37 A.I. companies. He was among the first investors in OpenAI, the most prominent A.I. start-up, and recently left its board. He also helped found Inflection AI, an A.I. chatbot start-up that has raised at least $225 million.
No conflicts of interest here! Hoffman’s tentacles are everywhere. He is a member of the Bilderberg Group and founded an open borders lobbying group called FWD.us. In 2018, he invested $20 million in Alloy. The sketchy company legally exchanged data with affiliated Democrat groups like super PACs, but shut down in 2021. In October 2022, Hoffman joined the Defense Innovation Board, an independent advisory board for the United States Department of Defense.
My perspective on AI is consistent with all other forms of technology. What matters most is the hearts and minds of the people creating, using, and regulating technology. Any technology can be used for good or bad. Nuclear power can provide cheap clean energy, or it can wipe out entire cities. Social networking can help you build an economic engine for your creativity while finding real friends and community, or it can drive you into anxiety and depression. AI can enhance the efficiency of your life so you can have more time to be more present and human, or it can rob us all of our humanity. Take the white pill and avoid the black mirror.
You have the power to wield technology for good in your life. Do not comply with those who seek to wield it for their power and our enslavement. Anytime you see AI and “smart” devices, think of the images of Reid and Sam above, CIA/FBI/DHS creeps knowing everything about you, and this:
Yuri would have marveled at all the ways technology has accelerated subversion and demoralization:
On Thursday, I’ll review one of Hoffman’s favorite movies…
I quit LinkedIn when they started booting medical experts for holding opinions contrary to the Covid narrative, and I'm never going back.
As things stand in 2023, I'd rather have an AI girlfriend than a real one.
Oh, and Reid should resign from a couple of those boards and join a gym and hire a personal trainer. If I had his money, I'd hire a dietician and personal chef, too. There's no excuse for being a fat, out of shape billionaire.
