AI company

Uses no AI

Honestly, the smartest thing they could do

Bilks investors for $1.5B and then just walks off with the money

Incredible. Who did they bilk?

Microsoft

Lolz.

Isn't this the model Capitalist?

It doesn't matter what they offer. It doesn't matter what they build. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. It doesn't matter if it is beneficial or not. It doesn't matter if it is ethical or not. It doesn't matter if it is moral or not. It doesn't matter if it is respectful or not.

All that matters is that it made money.

That is the sign of a true Capitalist.

Congratulations on winning that contest.

Not only that, it provided job for people rather than cutting them

A billion dollars is a worthless amount of money, apparently. Do investors have no loved ones?

Which Adblock are extension are you using ( Adblock Plus by any chance?)? I just tried on mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin and rendered fine.
