Firstly, who TF would use that crap in the first place at all? Yeah, he did some crap he got paid for. So did the people who created the addictive algorithms for social and media or creators of the brainrot videos that infest kids' minds. Should we applaud them too?

You can hate it, but pretending it has no value isn’t a meaningful counter, esp given its user base. Gary Tan built GBrain on it. Poor logical fallacy-ing on your part.

And?

The reality is if the thing can’t survive financially without being subsidised in the long run - it deserves to die.

There is no trend showing that these expensive things exist in the long run in this manner. - it’s pure speculation and for many: hopes and dreams.

> What problems is this solving?

It's a very simple question, the subthread you created based on reducing everything to "he did a thing" and calling the comment you didn't interact with at all "agonizing".

Why not rather leave it at "they wrote a comment"? What is so hard to understand about that, to use your words?

Gary Tan building something AI-related on top of your work is an anti-flex.
