is there a pseudoscience that VCs and promptfans aren’t trying to turn into a startup? we’ve got medical woo everywhere, AI startups are essentially repackaging everything from race science to mediums into a bullshit product, and now we’ve got this superstitious crap. there’s a drinking game somewhere in all this where you pull a random RW page and take a shot if there isn’t a startup trying to monetize the article’s subject
