    But why? Why is everybody funding this piece of shit? Besides being shit politically it’s also shit technically. I don’t get it.

      Well, you see, it’s somehow using AI and it’s run by a dick.

      What’s not to love about it?

      It’s not about the software. It’s about creating a far right pipeline. Like they did with gamers and anime. Billionaires pay for users.

      Guy who made a popular thing once announces revolution in efficiency, looks impressive on the surface but is just desktop riding for the uninitiated.

      I’m more flabbergasted how little what you have to do to get 3 million

      EDIT: Changing this up as I’m sure a lot of people work hard on this thing and perhaps more did before this guy outed himself as a douche

          GoPro was kinda washed… They had huge success early but they thoroughly over-saturated their own market and then stagnated in the face of competition. Maybe about a week ago announced they were now an AI/datacenter company…

          Point is, if you slap an AI label on just about anything someone out there will give you money

          A youtuber with a large following bought a substantial share in GoPro. I think it is is a comment on how immature stans are subservient to their para-social relationships and throw their money at men they idealise instead of working to improve themselves. Comparing Markiplier with DHH is really unfair to Markiplier but its all the same weak minded exploitable herd behaviour. It doesn’t matter if you are a preacher, politician, con artist, influencer or OF model - manipulating fools seems to be part of the human condition.
