I think no one cares about the truth or building something good any more. It's a meme economy. Tell a story and the numbers go up. Until they don't.

It's worse than a meme economy, it's a gambling economy. The entire VC business model is gambling (fund 10 hope 1 pays for the losers). Crypto is all gambling. The stock market is gambling. TV ads are all gambling ads. Even dating is gambling.

Now programming and art are both gambling.
