Cool concept! However, the fact that it's on a timer and you can only try the next even in 1m is a killer feature (in a not-good way). Same for not being able to view the leaderboard

Historically this has never flown.

There's only 1 billionaire for every what, 10M people, 100M ? They are outnumbered. At some point the underclass may band together and kick off a revolution to overthrow the ruling class.

Kings have gotten their heads chopped off when the people had enough.

I can see a version of history where the end of capitalism was AI and the AI-owning class with their robots and capital essentially dispose of the majority of the society. Society decides this system is screwed and decides to overthrow capitalism and we invent a new system.

After all, at some point, smart people came up with capitalism to solve the previous system's problems. We may not go to socialism but invent something new entirely to address the flaws of late stage capitalism.

I do get answers. The ones who typically said can't disclose are you full of shit. Crack teams know they're cracked and they will tell you.

"I'm a MIT-trained security engineer; I'm an ex-VP at Paypal, etc..."

Damn. Now I understand VC's a little better.

Some deals I saw "damn the traction is off the chart" and I didn't even care to ask any question I just threw money at them. I saw one startup named Salesforce, a CRM. I guess hindsight is 20/20 on that one lol. Didn't even read the pitch.

This game is awesome

Fun game! My investing strategy is to flush out quickly who's the team, what's the traction, what's unique insight into the market.

Bullshitters have trash or no answers. Killer companies have one of those 3 that is usually very compelling.

OP here. I should've added that clarification but it was to say as someone with the "most to gain" financially or professionally from AI becoming more important, I'm still against this content trend and find it is unproductive.

The ideas submitted still go through you where you approve/reject.

Good platform. A similar one was made I used to use back in ~2020 but eventually I think it died.

The best addition would be to have a simple form where people can submit ideas for questions. It'll keep your site from being stale and fading out of relevance like the last one.
