@404media @404-media-404media It blows my mind that these corps can throw these sorts of numbers at projects like this, then realise it's not going anywhere, shrug their shoulders, and walk off, as if nothing happened.

@404media driven by wealth and power rather than real innovation or user demand… sounds a lot like the #ai con to me.
