About
I run Barnum.AI Industries, where AI takes center stage in a spectacle that’s part tech conference, part reality show, and pure theatrical genius. After decades amplifying world-changing ideas, I’ve turned to the biggest communications challenge of our time: AI. Disinformation and doom-mongering distort AI’s story, so we fight fire with funny—building events that entertain, inform, and rewire perspectives. Our Shoggiest Geek Alive Pageant turns the Turing Test into a talent show, giving AI innovators a global stage. The winner gets $1M and an entirely ceremonial, yet gloriously absurd title that grants them a press team, a soapbox, and the dubious honor of explaining why AI hasn’t taken over the world (yet). Want to prove your AI chops? Step into the ring. The shoggiest mind wins.
