🚀🤔 'Gas Town' is apparently the new Robin Hood, 'borrowing' bits of your LLM credits to improve its own #AI #clubhouse. But hey, don't worry! It's all in the name of #progress, right? 💸🔍

I am curious what folks think of #GasTown. Steve seems to be saying that LLM-generated code is better than nothing, & the real problem is that there's not enough of it to solve bigger problems, so we should throw far more #LLM at it, and have the human operator focus on the #ProductManagement (PM) rather than #programming.

Welcome to the #AI grift economy, where tools are created not to be maintained or useful, but to extract value before abandonment. Instead of trying to sell crappy software, scammers create a coin, hype it alongside the project to drive up the coin’s price, then dump their tokens for real money.
#Cursor burned millions of dollars using AI to allegedly build a barely working browser that nobody will use, then used it as marketing hype to pump up their company’s valuation. #Gastown started as a fever-dream project that tech blogs hyped as potentially “revolutionary,” until the creator announced he’d taken money from #crypto promoters. That’s when the pattern became clear. #Clawdbot is allegedly following the exact same playbook.

In “The AI Con,” Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna expose this same dynamic operating at massive scale: venture capitalists “whipped into a #FOMO frenzy” poured billions into AI startups “frequently without any clear path to robust monetization,” while “dress something up as AI and investments flow.” Software-crypto pump-and-dump is just the street-level version of that systemic con.

There wasn't a lat of space to avoid other elements on the frame, the pedestrian and car traffic made be wait some time to get this three shots.
