Despite seemingly having nothing else in the pipeline and the AI Pin being dead on arrival, Bloomberg reports the company is “seeking a price of between $750 million and $1 billion in a sale.”
alright guys I’ll take one for the team and buy the company
Relevant username.
I’m gonna buy you too windie
Pretty sure that’s been illegal since 1865
Like with everything, only if you do not have enough money.
You obviously don’t know who Leroy Jenkins is, the laws of man do not apply.
So this is scam right? Overpromise on a product that doesn’t work then sell the company for some huge price because it’s cutting edge technology? Because it feels like a scam.
remember how over the past few years almost everything brand new had the word “blockchain” shoehorned into it for no good reason?
This is the same kind of thing. It’s an atrocious boondoggle. There must still be a serious amount of cocaine floating around Venture Capitalist parties, because one of those boys is gonna drop 500M on this company and think they bought the dip, when in fact they, themselves, are the dip.

I don’t think “Blockchain” ever reached anywhere near this level of shoehornery.
oh, for a while there, it was close. things have changed even in the past 2 months since I wrote that comment.
This is hilarious, scrambling to get a golden parachute and live off some trust fund from the sale. The sad part is that they will probably get that.
That’s the worst part. They knew the product sucked, everyone knew the product sucked, this was always the plan. Ask for a billion get 200 million. That’s 100 for each founder. Go live on a private beach somewhere.
it’s just rich people’s money that could be used to fund housing for the masses. let me know where that beach is so i can go drop off some karma.
Who would have guess that another overpriced solution to a non existent problem that no one wants would have been a commercial failure …
We are in a capitalist dystopia. We could be using AI to predict energy usage and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, or help in discovering new protein folds … but no … Timmy wants to look like a cool futuristic dude and he’s willing to pay $600 to look cooler than his peers
these people live in a delusion, chasing star trek fantasies while the general population can barely afford rent. we are truly due for the chickens to come home to roost.
i just hope a lot of innocent animals don’t get hurt in the process.
