The Evolution of Silicon Valley Spectacle
Silicon Valley's success has always depended on the art of the show.
From Samuel Brannan galloping through San Francisco with a bottle of gold dust yelling "Gold! Gold!" to Steve Jobs' legendary product reveals, technological innovation and theatrical presentation have always been inseparable twins.
The Shoggiest Geek Alive Pageant continues this tradition for the AI era—a $1M competition where cutting-edge AI innovators face off in twelve monthly elimination challenges, judged by experts and public voting.
What makes this different from past tech spectacles? The stakes. When the internet was emerging, the risks were primarily financial. With AI, we're potentially reshaping the fundamental nature of work, creativity, and decision-making.
This is why we've designed the pageant to embrace AI's "shoggothic duality"—its boundless potential paired uncomfortably with existential risk. Every challenge forces contestants to demonstrate both breakthrough capabilities and responsible implementation.
As AI adoption accelerates (ChatGPT reached 100M users in just 2 months), we need forums that blend entertainment with substance, making complex technology accessible while encouraging meaningful dialogue about its direction.

The Shoggiest Geek Alive Pageant serves as that forum—a talent show for the most important technology of our lifetime.
