silicon valley VCs' best ideas of the 2020s: -put a drone on something -wrongness generator 3000 (uses more energy than a small nation) -fraud -space pollution -self-crashing cars -an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in another country -an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in this country -fascism -vrchat but it cost 20x to make and it fucking sucks -layoffs

  • @chrisisgr8 VC itself is the problem. The only things that make sense for this entire pump and dump industry of hucksters is stupid bullshit that sounds cool and hypable, but is ultimately useless and unmeasurable in real return on investment terms. Forget making real stuff that would actually benefit the world because then who could they screw over and leave holding the bag?

    @chrisisgr8 -push wrongness generator 3000 bots to every possible service and job ever made (whether or not it's actually useful or necessary) -get people to buy and promote (functionally worthless) nft's for (hopefully) a massive profit!!

  • @chrisisgr8 if "wrongness generator" is LLMs, bear in mind government is looking at facilitating regulatory capture for that. *someone* thinks they have enough potential not to let citizens finetune & run their own.

    @chrisisgr8 I'm old as fuck and tech layoffs were around in the 80s so that's nothing new. Also the whole "thing is bad because it uses more energy than a small country" is getting old. Data centers and the internet exceed that power consumption metric, nobody says anything about that. Also technologies start out power intensive and then innovation reduces the power load. .e.g. CPUs. The Gartner hype chart is great for plotting out how technologies go from cool ideas to being over hyped.

    @chrisisgr8 Teens -you pay us to give us your genetics and we sell it to some semi reputable people. When we go bankrupt it's anyone's for 5 cents on the dollar -vid chat to a random new "friend" who may (probably) or may not be masturbating -concentrated shelf-safe juice -a watch that can tell you if you're still breathing and have a heartbeat. Can't diagnose or predict cardiopulmonary conditions. -every electrical appliance can tell you the weather forecast, stock quote, or sports score
