Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think this was a proof of concept, so you don't need to have a profitable business model just yet.

I expect the next version will create a complete individual with video of them "playing at bars" or "small concerts".

The goal will be to not be AI, but a real person.

Heck they may even sell it as a service. If you pay me $10,000 you can be a country music star.

Rebecca Black's parents paid $4,000 to make a music video. I don't think they intended it to become this popular thing, but it did.

Would you (or could you imagine someone might) pay a little more to be a guaranteed success?
