"Every great venture capitalist in the last 70 years has missed most of the great companies of his generation... if it was a science, you could eventually dial it in and have somebody who gets 8 out of 10 [right]," the investor reasoned. "There's an intangibility to it, there's a taste aspect, the human relationship aspect, the psychology — by the way a lot of it is psychological analysis," he added.
Venture capitalism: famously the only human activity in history that involves human relationships, psychology, or aesthetic taste.
- Is he saying all there is to VC'ing is picking the right startup to back? What the fuck is "work" then. Vibe checking the startup founder? He's right then, it's not going to be replaced with AI because its a useless fucking job. God, these people belong in the
  
  Well you also have to give dumbfuck interviews about things you fundamentally misunderstand and (apparently) participate in dozens of fascist group chats at once. Truly the pinnacle of human behavior and development.
  
  When your job is just "I/my friends have a lot of money to gamble," it turns out there's not much to it.
- gambler telling you they have a system maaaaaaan
  
  I'd bet real money that if you gave ChatGPT $5 billion and had it """invest""" it would do as well or better than most of these idiots. Poster children for "born on third base and think they hit a triple."
VCs are so absurdly dumb, it's mind-boggling. Absolute toddler brains that will be amazed by the slightest bit of flattery combined with jingling car keys in front of their idiotic faces.

- pulling my phone out to tell grok to roto-root my toilet again
  
  Tesla's humanoid robo plumber shows up, walks directly into a wall, and catches on fire. The clogged pipe is no longer a problem because your house burned down.
  reports it as a success in his statistics.
Who's gonna buy your shit?
- The invisible hand
- Tech companies don't even sell products, it's all speculative value
  
  Yeah but that value COMES from somewhere. You speculate on the prospect of people BUYING something at SOME POINT.
- The contradictions are sharpening
least stupid venture capitalist
The only reason these people are allowed to speak freely is because there is no
Calling it “the AIs”
I'm conflicted... such a punchable face... but what if it bursts on impact?
- Wear gloves
So what he's saying is that all that's needed to stop this AI bullshit is
...Who's gonna buy your stupid shit Marc?
I can automate his job with a 100 line Python script
I've been curious about the background of Futurism, I've been pleasantly surprised by the snarkiness their articles often exhibit.
Isn't this the same guy who created the secret Signal chats for rich tech and media people recently?
All I’ll say in response to this is that Marc seems like the most easily reachable of these billionaires that absolutely need to be removed from this world
