I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

I guess these geniuses missed the first memo. Time to post this at the source (LinkedIn)

@briankrebs tell em youll do it for 100k per post, and cite disneys recent billion dollar investment in sora, saying they can clearly afford it

@Viss @briankrebs that company has been busy. They’ve emailed me something similar offering to have their co-founder on my podcast in return for a chance at a “sponsorship”

@jerry @briankrebs agree and demand 'bay area ai startup founder' money. say youll do it for 500k, and cite the 1m+ comp packages theyre giving engineers. they can afford it.

@Viss @jerry @briankrebs You're asking Brian to be unethical and tank his reputation for a larger amount of money. OK, I get that you're not really being serious, but how about going the other way? Let's shame those who take the money.

I'd say that Brian should provide value for money. :D

He should do an hour-long podcast episode where he's completely up-front about his accepting $1mill;ion for what he's about to say, talks about their work quite happily for the first 30 minutes, and at minute 30, says, "Time's Up!", and then takes the next half an hour to be devastatingly accurate as to how bad their work is going to be.

No-one will ever make him that sort of offer again... :))
