Or just a way for someone that owns a rocket company to get a trillion dollars. Maybe someone making ships can get a cool $100B from ~~suckers~~ investors.

In the dot com bubble it was a running joke where someone would take any business idea and and add "on the internet" onto it. "We'll sell dogfood... on the internet!" Boom! A billion dollars in VC money.

So now it's take anything and add "using AI" to it. This is even better, it's not just "using AI" it's "and put a bunch of AI chips on it."

"We build ships." Yawn. "We build ships and put a bunch of AI chips on it" Ok, here's your $100 Billion!
