  Do you think it’s possible to run the cycle too quickly? Like, shouldn’t you make sure your product has been widely maximally adopted first before you make it shittier?

  May be that’s just hopium

    Well, you go as wide as you can, then try to cash in.

    Looks like, given that porn and ads are both imminent, they think this is maximum adoption.

    AI is just soooo fucking expensive. Silicon Valley has made burning cash up front a standard practice, but the amount they’re burning is just astronomical. There is going to be a demand for profits, or the path to profits, much sooner than usual.

    Speedrunning exists already, so you could just apply that philosophy to tech startups.

    At first, you’re good to your users. Once you have 10, you can start milking them with spyware and ads. This way, you’ll sacrifice the users in favor of the ad companies. Before the first quarter is over, you’re already milking the ad companies too. Once they get fed up with the ramped up prices, you can file for bankruptcy in record time!
