I missed working during the dot com boom, but I heard some crazy stories from older coworkers. Like showing up at 10am hungover, playing video games until the CEO came in around noon coked out of his gourd, then hitting up the strip club at 4 on the company dime.

Then one day they get there and the CEO says “sorry guys, money ran out, go home.”

I can’t imagine what it’s like at these AI startups with orders of magnitude more money to burn.

I should join an AI startup

I will invest!

Here’s a dollar. I now own 10% of your AI.

What? Yes I know I just spent real money, on a product that doesn’t exist, running in a data center that hasn’t been built yet, chasing profits that are impossible to achieve.

Isn’t that what everyone is doing?

Sorry, my totally real and not made-up valuation is already at $1BN.

I’ll still take your dollar tho

And offer you a pre-order for $10 worth of use of my not yet existing machine.
