From the creators of easy money laundering (crypto bros), we now bring you easy money laundering 2: intellectual property laundering, coming to a theatre near you soon!
- gruez 9mo ago>From the creators of easy money laundering (crypto bros), Is there even any evidence that "crypto bros" and "AI bros" are even the same set of people other than being vaguely "tech" and hated by HN? At best you have someone like Altman who founded openai and had a crypto project (worldcoin), but the latter was approximately used by nobody. What about everyone else? Did Ilya Sutskever have a shitcoin a few years ago? Maybe Changpeng Zhao has an AI lab?

I always had a choice to /not/ use crypto. The "AI" people want to hamfistedly shove their flawed investment into every product under the sun.
- prussia 9mo agoI think the worst of the crypto people are probably the worst of the AI people too. Power/money-hungry grifters naturally move on to the most profitable grift when the old one peters out.
- pkaeding 9mo agoOkay, but "fad-use-of-GPU bros" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

- tjons 9mo agoIt's never/rarely the leaders. It's always the followers. This site has a high bar for engagement given the depth of subject matter, but if you check another social medium I promise you'll see this pattern. All over.
