This is not that different from the "serious" discussion now about NFTs, and other crypto stuff. We've got something that's objectively nonsense but people don't want to look stupid so they pretend they understand and participate in it. There was a thing recently about KPMG buying an NFT. NFTs were being sold at Sotheby's or Christie's (until whatever tech bros ran the NFT pulled out to troll them), etc. Its all BS, but for laypeople, it's just a different brand of magic they don't understand. No different with this Pi thing (except eventually they were smart enough not to go through with it)
