AI startups, and open-source forks with VC funding. A bad match.

    So all it takes to get that sweet, sweet VC mula is a Vscode + extension fork with some hipster branding on top? Really???

    Aren’t these guys supposed to be tech geniuses or some shit?
    Billions of dollars and they don’t have a single actually knowledgeable intern who could glance at this project and say “yeah, no, I could do this too?”
    Or are they’re just ignoring them because AI is a glowing hot buzzword right now?

    This is baffling. The entire tech sector praises VCs like they’re god’s gift to earth, meanwhile they’re out here backing stupid shit like this, how can anyone take these people seriously?

      Rich/famous tech people have never been “tech geniuses.” They’re always sociopathic business/marketing types.
