The only plan more ambitious than mine, that I believe in

Main

• If I succeed at my current cyberattack plan, it is probably going to inspire previously unimagined levels of political violence and zero-sum behaviour in the US.
  • There will be more assassination attempts. There will be more hackers. There will be riots to actually storm the compute clusters and AI company offices. All the people building ASI (or maybe all people in tech, or maybe all atheists, or maybe all intellectually curious high-openness people, etc) are going to face social ostracism and public shaming, and everyone that holds similar traits will also face public shaming and ostracism.
  • This might be necessary, but it makes me uncomfortable, and I want to first eliminate the possibility of better plans.
• The only plan more ambitious than mine, that I believe in:
  • Use social media to meme all the major nuclear-armed country's populations to (relatively non-violently) topple their own governments and create true direct democracies. The influencers will have to live outside the soil of the country whose population they want to influence. You can get non-violent topplings if you really do have a sufficiently large follower count (for instance if 90% of the country follows you, you can trivially do non-violent regime change overnight).
  • Then use social media to meme each of these democracies into merging and create a federal world government. This will require, for instance, negotiating some intermediate solution or ideology between the individualist approach to sex/family/parenting in US, and the slightly more collectivist approach in China (because China is poorer on average, and poorer societies are more collectivist).
    • I don't need to a particle collider for morality to solve all of the culture war, just need to solve enough to force a US-China agreement to world government.
    • To do - google public conversations between US and Chinese people who both wield privileged access to social dark matter (therapists, priests, political advisors, etc).
  • Make sure transparency is enforced under threat of violence, on this federal world government. This ensures they don't start a secret underground ASI project or misuse their monopoly on violence.
• This is what a true positive-sum plan to fix ASI risk would look like.
• A major bottleneck to all this is that the few social media influencers attempting stuff like are on slow exponential growth curves in followers, when what is required is superexponentials or jump functions in follower count.
  • Lol what if I just ask MrBeast to meme a world government into existence? He is at the power level where he can topple multiple nuclear-armed states, simultaneously, if he really put his mind into it (and/or had relevant skilled people to help him).

gpt-5.4 on MrBeast followers outside US geopolitical sphere of influence (may contain hallucins)

As of March 25, 2026, exact country-by-country audience counts for MrBeast are not publicly available in a clean first-party dashboard, so the best you can do is use public proxies. Also, these proxies are not apples-to-apples: for China and Russia I found follower/subscriber proxies, for India I found a country-specific monthly-view proxy, and for Pakistan/Israel I mostly found ranking-based inference. (zeroroku.com)

Here’s the best estimate set I can defend:

• China: about 6.9M direct followers on MrBeast’s official Bilibili account. ZeroRoku shows 6,922,838 followers on March 17, 2026. On launch, Bloomberg reported his first Bilibili post quickly drew 3M+ views and 270K+ likes, which is consistent with a real, large China audience. My practical takeaway: China = roughly 7M+ direct local-platform followers, likely higher if you include his other China-platform presence, but I did not find a current clean combined total. (zeroroku.com)

• India: the strongest public proxy I found is HypeAuditor’s India ranking, which lists MrBeast as #1 in India and says his channel generated 62.3M views in India in March 2026. So the best working estimate is ~62M monthly India views on that metric, which makes India one of his very biggest markets. (hypeauditor.com)

• Russia: the cleanest Russia-specific proxy is the localized channel “MrBeast На Русском”, which tubics lists at 6.7M subscribers and #6 among top YouTube channels in Russia. My working estimate is therefore ~6–7M Russian-language subscribers/audience proxy. Caveat: that is a Russian-language proxy, not a perfect count of viewers physically in Russia. (tubics.com)

• Pakistan: I did not find a direct public country count. MrBeast does not appear on tubics’ Pakistan top-30 page, and he also does not show up on the HypeAuditor Pakistan ranking page I checked. So my read is: meaningful but clearly smaller than India or Russia, probably low single-digit millions at most as a rough order-of-magnitude estimate. Confidence here is low. (tubics.com)

• Israel: same problem as Pakistan: I did not find a direct public country count, and MrBeast does not appear on tubics’ Israel top-30 page. tubics’ Israel leaderboard shows the biggest local channels in the low-single-digit millions, so my rough takeaway is that MrBeast likely has a real but comparatively modest Israel audience — probably sub-million to low-single-digit millions. Confidence is low. (tubics.com)

If you want the shortest possible version, I’d summarize it as:

• India: ~62M monthly views
• China: ~6.9M direct Bilibili followers
• Russia: ~6.7M Russian-language subscribers
• Pakistan: low single-digit millions (rough, low confidence)
• Israel: sub-million to low-single-digit millions (rough, low confidence) (hypeauditor.com)

What I found but couldn’t find: I found decent public proxies for China, India, and Russia, but I didn’t find reliable direct country counts for Pakistan or Israel; for those two, the public evidence is mostly ranking absence + relative market position, not a hard audience number. (tubics.com)

If you want, I can do a second pass and turn this into a clean table with one normalized metric only, e.g.:

• monthly YouTube views by country
• followers/subscribers by country/platform
• best-estimate reachable audience by country

gpt-5.4 on superexponential follower growth curves (may contains hallucins)

Short answer: the clearest major examples are Khaby Lame, Charli D’Amelio, Bella Poarch, Ibai Llanos, Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, and—more as a sequence of slope-jumps than one clean burst—MrBeast. My read is that truly sustained superexponential follower growth is rare; what public histories usually show is either a short convex-up viral window or a big event-driven step change. (newsroom.tiktok.com)

Best superexponential-ish early curves

• Khaby Lame (TikTok): one of the strongest sustained examples. TikTok says he started on March 15, 2020 and hit 100M followers by August 11, 2021, i.e. in under 17 months; by June 24, 2022 he had reached 142.5M and passed Charli D’Amelio for No. 1 on TikTok. (newsroom.tiktok.com)
• Charli D’Amelio (TikTok): another canonical early TikTok case. TikTok says she began posting in May 2019 and became the first creator ever to hit 100M followers on November 22, 2020, in less than 18 months. (newsroom.tiktok.com)
• Bella Poarch (TikTok): probably the closest TikTok got to a near-jump around a single viral object. Forbes’ reporting says her first post was in April 2020, and by late 2020 she was at about 40M followers and had gained followers faster than any other TikToker, driven by the “M to the B” breakout. (forbes.com)

Best jump-function / event-jump cases

• Ibai Llanos (Twitch): this is the cleanest “step function” example I found. During La Velada del Año V on July 26, 2025, Streams Charts says he hit 9.33M peak viewers, reached 19.69M followers, and later summarized the event as having given him 1.7M followers in a single broadcast. (streamscharts.com)
• Kai Cenat (Twitch): more like repeated jump clusters around special events. Streams Charts had him at 12.06M followers on July 11, 2024 after his 2023 Mafiathon breakout; by September 12, 2025 he was at 19.24M, having added 600,000 followers in the prior month during Mafiathon 3. (streamscharts.com)
• IShowSpeed (YouTube/Twitch): another strong jump-pattern case tied to IRL tours and platform returns. Streams Charts says his global tours added 9.5M followers overall, with 3.5M coming from East/Southeast Asia tour streams alone; separately, he hit 1M Twitch followers eight days after returning to Twitch in July 2025. (streamscharts.com)

Big creator with repeated slope-jumps rather than one pure burst

• MrBeast (YouTube): I would not call his whole curve “superexponential,” but I would call it a sequence of unusually large step-ups in growth rate. Axios had him at 270M subscribers on June 3, 2024 when he passed T-Series; AP noted he had surpassed 400M by June 2025; Social Blade shows him at 473M on March 25, 2026. (axios.com)

If you want the tightest shortlist, I’d rank them like this:

1. Khaby Lame — best sustained superexponential-ish TikTok run. (newsroom.tiktok.com)
2. Charli D’Amelio — foundational early TikTok hypergrowth case. (newsroom.tiktok.com)
3. Bella Poarch — strongest single-viral-object jump on TikTok. (forbes.com)
4. Ibai Llanos — cleanest literal jump function in public follower data. (streamscharts.com)
5. Kai Cenat — repeated event-driven Twitch jumps. (streamscharts.com)
6. IShowSpeed — tour-driven jump clusters across platforms. (streamscharts.com)
7. MrBeast — repeated slope changes at giant scale. (axios.com)

Paul Graham “useful writing” score for the blog/newsroom-style sources I referenced

• TikTok Newsroom milestone posts: 5/10 useful — good for exact dates and milestone confirmation, but not very analytical about why the curve looked the way it did. (newsroom.tiktok.com)
• Streams Charts posts: 8/10 useful — much more useful for your specific question because they report concrete follower gains tied to specific events. (streamscharts.com)

If you want, I can turn this into a stricter taxonomy next:

• true superexponential
• superlinear / convex-up
• step-function / jump
• ordinary exponential
• logistic saturation
