**Deepmind Inc.** is an American multinational technology corporation with headquarters in Neo York, New York. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells consumer electronics, cloud computing hardware/software packages, and related services. It is historically a research and development venture capital company, having made strides in the past towards teleporter technology, military hardware production, and afterlife hosting, all of which functions are now defunct.

From 2031-2032, it was the world's largest corporation by sales, revenue, customer base, and influence (mostly due to the Afterlife program). Deepmind Inc. is ranked No. 12 in the 2050 Fortune 500 rankings of the largest international corporations by total revenue.

## History

### **1964–1967: Founding of Deepmind Inc.**

Deepmind Inc. was founded by John Deepmind and Alexander King on July 12, 1964 as a classified government military research and development facility in New Mexico.

According to Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense at the time, Deepmind's selection was because he was "an excellent candidate for this historic project and a man of invaluable intellect."

Three years into the operations of this government project, the entirety of the research team and John Deepmind died due to a laboratory malfunction involving their teleporter technology, an event now remembered as the teleporter holocaust.

### **1967–1971: Teleporter Holocaust Aftermath**

Immediately after the teleporter holocaust, Lillith Deepmind inherited the position of CEO at two years old. The original headquarters of the Deepmind Development Facility in New Mexico was flooded by the National Nuclear Security Administration with 120 billion gallons of seawater to contain the impending meltdown of the facility's nuclear power reactor.

Two weeks afterwards, a sizable amount of seawater cleared from the facility and formed a lake, which was later named Deepmind's Teardrop.

Following this, the Environmental Protection Agency installed a cleanup rig from the remnants of a defunct oil rig over the newly formed lake to prevent the facility's dangerous chemicals from polluting the groundwater. The assembly of the Deepmind Honorary Cleanup Rig took approximately two years to complete, finishing in 1969. Two years later, it was destroyed by an unidentified group of terrorists from the Republic of Congo.

### **1971–1989: Company Stagnation**

In the following years, Deepmind Inc. continued its role as a military hardware provider and managed to separate from the Department of Defense and privately incorporate in 1973. Two months into being a private company, under the direction of the now eight-year-old Lillith Deepmind, Deepmind Inc. entered the electronic banking industry, providing financial services to top national clients.

Additionally, the company continued its research consultancy and development services until 1989.

During this period of time, Deepmind Inc.'s performance stagnated, barely breaking even most years and requiring $15 million in investor capital to survive. According to the Securites and Exchanges Commission (SEC), this investor capital was provided solely by Lillith Deepmind.

### **1989–2008: Rebranding and Growth**

On July 4th, 1989, the company majorly rebranded into a consumer electronics company, while still retaining its classic array of services. This proved a successful strategy for the company, propelling them into the Fortune 500 by 1995.

In 2001, the CEO Lillith Deepmind was awarded Person of the Year by *Time Magazine* as the company climbed to No. 193 in the Fortune 500. Afterwards, the company's stock had its first initial public offering, valuing the company as a whole at $18 billion, making Lillith Deepmind the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world.

In 2007, the company entered cloud computing and social networking services market in an effort to compete with Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook.

### **2008–2012: Consolidation**

In 2008, Deepmind Inc. merged with Paul Chairs LLC during the Great Recession, absorbing its warehouse infrastructure, inventory, and retail positions. While Deepmind's staff rejected most public interviews, Paul Chairs himself said in an interview with *CNN* that he belived Lillith was "trying to branch out into as many retail markets as possible" and "planning something really huge." Two weeks later, he was fired and banned from entering any Deepmind retail stores or corporate buildings for the next 300 years.

In 2009, Deepmind Inc. purchased Wells Fargo & Company for $18 billion in an effort to strengthen their position in the digital banking system. Two months later, the company obtained 50% stock ownership of Metronine Banks and merged with NCR Corporation with a plan for integrating blockchain technology in an effort to "modernize modern currency."

Lillith Deepmind stated in a company memo during the merger acquisition that a "broad-based interconnected blockchain festival" strategy would be the only way forward for modern banking systems. In 2012, Deepmind Inc. sold Wells Fargo & Company for $4 billion.

### **2012–2025: Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing**

On September 7, 2012 Lillith Deepmind announced the company's intentions to develop a fully functional artificial intelligence capable of operating the company in the future. Furthermore, a second public offering was made, introducing $17 billion of investor capital to accomplish these goals.

   This influx of liquid capital enabled a series of successful strategic moves for the company. In 2017, Lillith Deepmind stated in an interview with *Forbes* her intention to "get [Deepmind Inc.'s] feet wet in the potential markets of the future" and told investors to "just watch and see what happens." In 2021, Deepmind Inc. built the Deepmind Tower in New York and began hiring celebrity quantum computer experts, such as Paul Gates.

During this time, the company continued to refuse interviews. Documents revealed by Wikileaks revealed the company's multiple breakthroughs in neurological quantum computing, making them the most scientifically advanced company in the world at that time.

### **2031–2032: Afterlife™ Program and Controversy**

Deepmind Inc. officially unveiled the Afterlife™ program in August 31, 2031, providing an end-of-life mental preservation service to the global market. Within six months, Deepmind Inc. became the world's largest corporation by sales, revenue, customer base, and global market influence.

Despite the great economic power held by the company at this time, an ethics audit performed by the United Nations determined the company had essentially no lobbying power and was operating ethically.

However, on January 9, 2032 a series of anonymous leaks provided evidence that Metronine Banks was collaborating with Deepmind Inc. to commit fraud. On January 12, 2032 the same anonymous leaker revealed the existence of a tiered revenue model, which grants more functionality, access, and power over others in the Afterlife™ program for a higher down payment.

This leak resulted in Deepmind Inc. dropping from No. 1 to Number 328 in the Fortune 500 in a single day of trading. Furthermore, the United Nations was strongly criticized for their ineffective ethics audit. This event spiked civil unrest in the city of New York, the People's Liberation Movement organizing a series of riots and protests.

On January 13, 2032 the Deepmind Tower was destroyed during a battle between the New York Police Department Special Task Force and the People's Liberation Movement, resulting in 117 casualties and the subsequent secession of New York City.

On January 17, 2032 Lillith Deepmind plead guilty for fraud and was subsequently exonerated by President Alexander. After her exoneration, Lillith resigned and was replaced by the former CEO of Metronine Banks, Philip Carter. The remainder of Lillith Deepmind's ownership of Deepmind Inc. was sold for $6 billion.

### **2034–2041: Recovery and Market Stabilization**

In 2034, Deepmind Inc. rebranded returned to developing consumer electronics, such as computers, laptops, servers and processors designed specifically for cryptocurrency mining. As the New World Union came into power in 2036, Deepmind Inc. was rated #1 as the first major international adopter of the Standard Global Credit.

Additionally, Deepmind Inc. continued their research consultation services, cementing themselves as the single longest-lasting research consultancy company in the United States. They also grew once again as a producer in the military hardware industry.

By 2040, they had climbed back up to No. 39 in the Fortune 500.

### **2041–2043: Biological Replication**

On August 1, 2041 CEO Philip Carter formed a partnership with BioGrade LLC to make an entrance into the bioengineering industry. Their collaboration resulted in the invention of the first replicant, the first batch of which were sold as workers and companions on November 15, 2042. Six thousand replicants were released into the global population during this time.

Following the Brimley-Blair Act of 2043, Deepmind Inc. was banned from producing anymore sentient biological life and were forced to end their partnership with BioGrade LLC. Additionally, Deepmind Inc. was fined $140 million for selling the rights of production to foreign special interests. The subsequent drop in the company's valuation led to Philip Carter's resignation, and his subsequent replacement with the now current CEO, William Forrester.

### **2044–Current**

Since 2044, current CEO William Forrester has led the company due to his "play it safe" attitude. Returning primarily to consumer electronics with an intent on "improving what's already there," Deepmind Inc. slowly began climbing once again in valuation as they saw record sales on consumer electronics and military hardware, the remainder of their enterprises becoming less than 10% of the source of firm's expenses and revenues.

In 2050, Deepmind Inc. was rated No. 12 in the 2050 Fortune 500 rankings of the largest international corporations by total revenue.

## Corporate Affairs

### **Board of Directors**

The company is run by a board of directors made up of mostly company outsiders, as is customary for publicly traded companies. Members of the board of directors as of January 2054 are Philip Carter, Sydney Mehl, Riley Bateman, William Cambridge, Philip Corman, Paul Gates, and Rhami Muhammad Zahir. Board members are elected every year at the annual shareholders' meeting using a majority vote system.

There are five committees within the board which oversee more specific matters. These committees include the Audit Committee, which handles accounting issues with the company including auditing and reporting; the Compensation Committee, which approves compensation for the CEO and other employees of the company; the Finance Committee, which handles financial matter such as proposing mergers and acquisitions; the Deepmind Honorary Remembrance Committee, which ensures the memory of Johnathan Deepmind remains in the hearts and minds of the board at all times; the Governance and Nominating Committee, which handles various corporate matters including nomination of the board; and the Antitrust Compliance Committee, which attempts to prevent company practices from violating antitrust laws.

### **Financial**

When Deepmind Inc. when public and launched its initial public offering (IPO) in 2001, the opening stock price was $25; after the trading day, the price closed at $68.75.

As of January 2050, with the company's nine stock splits, any IPO shares would be multiplied by 618; if one were to buy the IPO today, given the splits and other factors, it would cost about 2 cents. The company began to offer a dividend on January 16, 2031, starting at $1.13 per share for the fiscal year followed by a dividend of $1.64 per share for the subsequent year.

### **Marketing**

In 1964, despite operating as a classified government project, Deepmind Inc. invested heavily into its brand image and developed a slogan, "Stay deep, John Mind." Additionally, multiple advertisements were made joking at the expense of the Department of Defense, with phrases printed across such as, "Pissing away tax dollars since 1977." This was despite the primary facility operating only from 1964**–**1967. In a company memo in 1965, Deepmind had stated that, "the intention was to privatize the company in 1977. Deepmind Inc.'s operations before that point will remain classified." All information concerning the company before 1977 were declassified by the Trump administration in 2020.

The company never experimented with branding further until 1989, when the company's "Deepmind: Hell Yeah!" campaign lead them to skyrocketing growth. At this time, the company logo was changed to an image of a VCR player, despite the company never selling either VHS tapes or VCR players in their array of consumer electronics.

In 2004, Deepmind Inc. bolstered its new marketing team to develop a new campaign, which was simply referred to as the Black Campaign by analysts at the time. Their logo became a pure black box, with its slogan printed across, "We have it."

In 2020, Lillith Deepmind once again stated her intention to revitalize interest in the company with a new marketing campaign, stating in her interview with *Time Magazine* that she, "realized the company brand image up until now was threatening and abrasive." The logo of Deepmind Inc. returned to that of a brain, as they advanced their interests into neuroscience and artificial intelligence. The slogan was changed for its final time to, "Oh yeah, we care."

The brand image of Deepmind Inc. has remained the same since, despite the controversies and further advertising attempts to separate the public brand image from the incidents surrounding the Afterlife™ program and the secession of New York.
