Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

They'll finally invent teleportation, but it's the most unhealthy version of it, but because it's so hyped up, the ultra wealthy use it all the time not realizing you lose 0.001% of all your mass each time you do it, until an influencer realizes he lost weight using the teleporter and uses it over and over again, until he had teleported away approximately 1% of his body weight. Unfortunately a large amount of that small percentage was most of the wall of his Aortic valve, causing him to internally bleed out in a single minute, when it inevitably tore mid teleport.

Even with the downsides, that is describing something which actually works. That disqualifies you from VC funding.

I mean, the chat bots work great for programming, github copilot was great. Cryptocurrency was honestly the best way to buy drugs for a while. Most things VC are into have a small narrow space they are actually good for, but then they get used for business and finance and it all goes to shit... Just like anything captured to be used for business and finance.
