So create a Kickstarter and then just watch Alibaba for the product to appear. Now no need to worry about design, fab, production, or delivery! It's like a magic AI that makes your product for you.

- dublinben 10y agoExactly. It seems to me like the audience on Alibaba crowdsourced the manufacturing of his product. Now he has multiple manufacturers to choose from (something he admits he didn't even figure out yet) and can purchase at a wholesale price ($10). He will still be able to make plenty of profit selling these at the original price of $40.
- chadgeidel 10y agoIMHO this seems like a net good thing. Describe your idea on Kickstarter and it "magically" appears. Note - I'm not a subscriber to "idea === product" that many "inventors" in the US seem to espouse. I'm not suggesting that ideas are valueless, but I place a larger value on execution. If some enterprising group of people can execute on my idea and I get to own the device I was thinking about, that's still a win in my book.
