What's interesting is the creator of the site has listed on their linkedin that they're ... wait for it ... a co-founder at some generic AI startup with the goal of using AI agents to automate away manual jobs.

Are we the Baddies? Yes, and how interesting. I could vibe a game about that.

In case you're wondering, there are 106 CEOs / companies, and at 107 it just loops around.

How does it come up with the CEO and business' name? I assume there's gotta be finite number and the game has to end (?) Anyways, sick game.
