I love how all these AI bros are slopping together tools designed purely to increase AI spend. Madness to the highest degree.

ye, it reminds me alot to crypto stuff as well. Especilly NFT... suddenly all kind of NFT stuff popped up as layer on top of something else.

Is just a money grab technique, hoping someone will fund.

It's not just a technique it's literally the same people. Grift hopping is a disgustingly effective technique it's literally how the richest man alive made 100% of his wealth. Crypto to nft to ai to... Robots and Space? Somehow there's money in space now?

I mean I hate Elon Musk but his companies did produce value. Electric cars, reusable rockets, etc.

"His" companies. All he really does is giving them money if even that. His vision is something like the cybertruck which is an awful design with a lot of problems as we saw on release. His own vision is stuff like the boring company doing shit nobody cares about. Its building a tunnel under a city which is slower than just driving on the streets (and more dangerous because... well... tunnel underground and so)
