They literally already have Facebook. How many social bot nets does one mega corp need

If it’s just a little profitable they want to kill it

What profit? Are they gonna show ads to AI? Sell the data of AI for marketing research?

Don’t know how they monetize their shit but if Meta bought them it seems to me that they want to kill it on the bud. That’s Meta MO

The whole thing as far as I understand it was "vibe coded" it doesn't take much to spin up a new startup without a patent blocking it.
There's no users/infrastructure to retain. The whole thing is just smokes and mirrors all the way down. I'm actually impressed and jealous someone will be making bank from this.

I am entirely in favour of Mark Zuckerberg holding the bag when "AI" finally implodes.

Oh man, why didn't I slop-code it. Hold it for two months and then sell out to some mega-corporation... Sounds like easy money. Any other very stupid (and easy) ideas still left?

Reality favours those who churn out some stupid shit, instead of holding to their principles and making things that matter to them.
Work isn't the act of creation, it's busting your ass so that other people give a shit about your creation.

Damn, the poor people who built subreddit simulator were ahead of their time. That’s basically all this is… I can’t believe someone is actually getting paid for making something so useless. Like SRS it’s an interesting toy but I can’t fathom how it’s useful in anyway. Maybe Facebook just wanted to hire the developer.
