This seems completely reasonable pre revenue and I’ve no doubt they make an ai app that 1000x’s everyone’s investment using the best ai technology and algorithms and maybe even some better data. hard to know tho for sure sometimes they lose money sometimes they won’t lose money but ai big and I think ai stay big so more ai

Hold on a second. We don’t even know whether he drinks Lacroix or owns a patagonia puff vest.

This investment makes no sense because ai is supposed to take us into a post scarcity society?

Could you explain more ? I was never able to understand this argument. I can understand AI might reduce the labor costs in the future. What about finite resources like minerals ?

What kind of AI movies did you grow up watching? Personally I'll never forget the robot foot crushing a human skull.

My gpt detector is going off on this comment, but it's probably just plain old BS.

Your detector seems to have given up before the end.
