I wonder how many of these hype-chasing AI founders are going to take the path of self-enrichment while capitulating their startups when they get exhausted of searching for a moat.

I wonder how many of these hype-chasing AI founders are NOT going to take the path of self-enrichment while capitulating their startups when they get exhausted of pretending to build something.

How do I get into this game? Take a bunch of VC money, pay myself a hefty salary, don't give a damn about my employees if the whole thing goes bust. Must be nice, not having principles.

That is indeed the song of venture capital.

And there are already so many companies with an existing moat that could go into this space with their existing user base.

> of these hype-chasing AI founders [...]

I mean, if you qualify that question like that, then probably closer to 100%.

What would be more interesting to know, is how many AI founders starts out as "not hype-chasing", but end up self-enriching/capitulate their startups regardless, basically turning into it rather than starting out like that.

Not sure why would the AI part make the difference with other founders.
