    The solution being a huge monthly subscription. Or massive token rates if you’re a big customer

  They keep borrowing and giving out ‘free’ tokens until people are hooked.

  Then gradually intrusive different payment methods until they figure out what works best.

  Then prices rise (I’m guessing, rather rapidly) to pay off all of the loans and to start making profits.

  In the meantime, their machines are learning from the users, and learning which areas and how it can be most profitable.

  Boom. They’ve created a profitable business that nobody wanted, nobody asked for and nobody needs. The interactors don’t even realise that they’re not even really using it, there training it.

  DON’T USE AI.

  YOU’RE CREATING MORE PROBLEMS. MORE BEZOS’ AND MUSKS.

  It can’t. But somehow the dev hasn’t noticed I guess?

    When you’re taking out loans you’ve noticed.

      I wonder if their goal is to have big demo player numbers and then exit the company off to a clueless investor

  Easy, you just hyperinflate the USD!

  Infinite money glitch, irl.
