>I feel as if I am looking at an alien civilization's attempt at emulating entrepreneurship, or a bizarre GPT-3 social experiment. This same crowd will also preach product-market fit like it's religion. It's literally a race to throw crap at the wall, hype it, and see what sticks. A similar pattern also plays out a little differently and to a lesser degree among startups in respectable accelerators with VC backing. I think it serves a very useful purpose, though: hypercompetition. Any space that shows promise these days is quickly oversaturated with products such that there can be no clear winner. This is actually a really good thing depending on how you look at it, because it raises standards required to win to a very high level. That in turn filters out virtually everything, including products that we would've previously considered good enough to win the space.
