AI's Business Plan Is a Ponzi Scheme in Lab-Coat Drag
The business plan is a Ponzi scheme that learned to wear a lab coat.
McSweeney’s skewers the circular-financing fever dream, the one where everyone invests in everyone else, revenue stays a charming little rumor, and the master plan boils down to growing too big to indict. The piece reads as pure parody right up until you remember real executives recite the identical lines on real earnings calls with real straight faces. Your f*ucking AI is a Ponzi scheme that learned to write Python. McSweeney’s does the math, satirically.
