I actually agree with good time to start a company. Lot of available software engineers that can actually understand code, AI at a level that can actually speed up development, and so many startups focusing on AI wrapper slop that you can actually make a useful product and separate yourself from the herd.

Or you can be a grifter and make some AI wrapper yourself and cash out with some VC investment. So good time for a new company either way.

The people that are declaring holier-than-thou with self proclaimed 'principles' are the worst grifters and the ones actively scamming with AI with VC investment.

Pretending that they can only save the world and at the same time declaring they don't use AI but use it secretly by building an so-called "AI startup" and then going on the media doomsaying that "AGI" is coming.

At this point in this cycle in AI, "AGI" is just grifting until IPO.

It's gonna be like that HBO Silicon Valley bit again, where everyone and their doctor is telling you about their app.
