A tech genius, Deep Prasad, recently claimed to have been shot at twice outside his San Francisco hotel, but security footage suggests the sound was from fireworks. As his online persona is scrutinized for paranoia and conspiracies, it remains to be seen if his ego will be the downfall of his AI startup, GenMat.
Pew! For many startup founders, just posting on LinkedIn is a full-time gig. But for Deep Prasad, the Canadian engineer and entrepreneur behind GenMat, an AI startup that claims to be developing an AI that can predict the behavior of atoms combined together, it’s not just about coding – it’s about survival.

Recently, Prasad went viral on X-formerly-Twitter after claiming he was shot at twice outside his San Francisco hotel. According to the founder, a group of men in a BMW chased him and shot at him while he ran into the hotel. However, security footage reviewed by the San Francisco Standard suggests that the ‘gunfire’ Prasad heard actually came from firecrackers.
Despite the lack of evidence, police offered words of comfort, stating that they were sorry this incident happened in their city. Netizens quickly turned Prasad’s excitable posts into a meme, blasting him for tagging tech bigwig Garry Tan. However, it seems that Prasad’s online persona is not as innocent as he claims.
A now-dormant reddit account sharing his handle on X-formerly-Twitter has posted prolifically on a UFO subreddit while claiming to be Deep Prasad. The account has shared conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial metals, UFO debris, and Project Serpo, a claim that the US military runs a ‘human exchange’ with aliens from the planet Serpo.
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been a subject of interest for centuries, with reported sightings dating back to ancient civilizations.
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, over 100,000 UFO sightings are reported annually in the United States alone.
While most can be explained as misidentifications of natural phenomena or man-made objects, a small percentage remain unexplained.
The scientific community approaches UFO research with a skeptical and evidence-based approach, seeking to understand the underlying causes of these enigmatic events.

The reddit account’s posts are filled with arguments over academic credentials and various ufology personalities, often descending into hollering about honor and personal pride. It appears that Prasad’s ego is larger than his intellect, as he claims to have never called himself the next Einstein, only others have.
In a lighthearted follow-up post, Prasad admitted that he was pranked by a couple of pranksters who threw fireworks at him in a BMW. He even tagged Garry Tan again, stating that it’s high key embarrassing but at least they got a good meme out of it. It seems that Prasad is taking the L and embracing his embarrassment.
The Paranoia and Conspiracies Surrounding Deep Prasad
It’s not hard to believe that Prasad rubbed a couple of pranksters the wrong way, given his erratic behavior online. His posts are filled with conspiracy theories and paranoia, which may be indicative of a larger issue. Is ‘Realistically there’s no recovering from this’? Or is he genuinely delusional?
One thing is certain: Deep Prasad’s online persona is a little too touchy, to put it mildly. His arguments over academic credentials and ufology personalities often descend into credentialism, with him claiming to be the expert on everything. It’s time for Prasad to take a step back and reevaluate his online behavior.
The Future of GenMat and Deep Prasad
Despite the controversy surrounding ‘Realistically there’s no recovering from this’ , GenMat continues to push forward with its AI development. However, it remains to be seen whether the company will be able to overcome the perception that its founder is paranoid and delusional. Will Prasad’s ego be the downfall of his startup? Only time will tell.
For now, it seems that Prasad is embracing his embarrassment and taking the L. But as he said himself, ‘Realistically there’s no recovering from this’ .
