just like the softdrink company that changed their name to "long blockchain iced tea" a couple of years ago, their shares soared 300% before tanking completely

gawd, i hope this bubble pops soon

Could not agree more. Fuck this AI shit. I hope it pops bigger than the dotcom boom.

Meme stock status?

While stupid to pivot to Ai, the stock was only 3 dollars 2 days ago. The percentage increases are incredibly misleading, they were probably increased as a result of news stories of the company stock increasing 300% yesterday. Most stock brokers operate on if they think other people will want that stock later, not actual future value of the company or endorsement of any decisions of that company.
