So @KarlBode is spot on.

Forbes, Inc. and a few others leaned way into a hype machine.

A lot (h/t @anthonyroberts) of Inc.'s revenue comes from applications to the Inc. 500 / 5,000 list.

Anyway here's a thread of some more thoughts. @KarlBode @anthonyroberts Forbes has added legitimacy to so many frauds it's not even funny.

I've taken the liberty of setting up an amnesty box for classified documents.

Just put the classified documents into the box, and no questions will be asked. FAQ:

Q: Who is running the amnesty box for classified documents?

A: Someone, possibly a government. Perhaps even your government.

Lack of availability is not abandonment.
Negativity is not hatred.

Refusing to work for insulting payment is not betrayal.

Warnings that decisions will lead to failure are not malice.

Encouraging every decision is enabling.

While people are talking about the Elon Musk / Tesla botnet. I think it's worth pointing out that online bots are harder to spot than a lot of the research tools, and researchers often let on. A thread.
pushroi.com/my-friend-kelb… Twitter bots clearly exist. I can log onto several online marketplaces right now, and buy some. I can buy entire networks, of varying degrees of quality for various amounts of money including hacked, verified accounts. People have used those in botnets.
