We get over one bullshit situation with grifters trying to make a quick buck through a scam, only to land on another one. Absolutely amazing.
I’ll be worried when AI-controlled companies start buying them up
- That's a concept I didn't even think of until now, thanks. AI CEOs and executives. Now THAT'S a bit terrifying.
  
  You might enjoy the sci-fi novel
  ‘Accelerando’ by Charles Stross - or you might find it a bit disturbing
  
  It depends. Maybe the AI-version will be actually useful?
Well, the work AI companies are doing with these is more inherently useful, so that's a benefit.
- Almost anything is better than just speculating while wasting power, but I'm not thrilled either if it's for apps/spyware to deepfake and the like.
