It’s exactly a Ponzi scheme, with the bone difference being that there is no product with a true Ponzi scheme, but this one has a product. It’s just a worthless mechanical Turk designed to hornswaggle the rubes.
But, at least for now, ai doesn’t really do anything, either, at least not anything particularly meaningful. It’s a McGuffin for billionaires to slush money around and profit from others investing in bunk stock. They’re making trillions in a gigantic pump and dump scheme, and right before the bubble bursts, they’re gonna cash out and fuck off leaving everyone else to get screwed
Hmmm… I think it needs to be something with more ‘bite’. “Musking it up” sounds like a 90s sitcom dad-move. Like something Tim Allen might have tried on Home Improvement.
No apologies for Steven Tyler. He paid a family to make him the legal guardian of a 16 year old so that he could take her cross country and live with her.

It’s an Altman scheme.

I actually came back to ask “is that an Aerosmith ‘Livin On the Edge’ reference in the wild?!”
I loved it.

Reaganomics recalled something from some forgotten box.
Elon-gate?

Elon-gate recalled a meme from some forgotten box
A 2006 vintage, I believe?
