    If it was, it was a bad stratagy.

    AI is the only industry that is somehow nonprofitable, without customers, and yet also propping up the economy right now.

    Just waiting for this stupid bubble to pop

    I mean, reddit only got big because Digg made some very stupid moves before, so ... pretty on brand
