(Builder.ai Collapses: $1.5B 'AI' Startup Exposed as 'Indians'?, 367 points, 267 comments)
- pyman 1y agoHey, I did some digging too (cough cough). Here's what I said on that thread: - Proven: BuilderAI collapsed after fabricating revenue. - Unsubstantiated: The rumour that 700 devs were the chatbot is false, not backed by evidence or insiders. - Marketing vs. reality: They marketed features as "AI-assisted", not AI-generated, two very different things. - Bottom line: The real scandal is financial fraud, not some fake-AI front.
- mellosouls 1y agoYeah, nice work - I mentioned "and others" for that reason; dangs was just the top comment.
