AI companies who can’t find anyone to buy their product, swear their employees would rather have their product in exchange for labor rather than money…
Which could easily be used to buy the product no one outside the company is buying.
This is just a way to juice metrics and claim this “compensation” as sales on the books.
And I’m almost positive the “per user growth” they’re talking about is just how brain rot addicts will use chatbots for everything once their brain atrophies from not using it. But just by mentioning that they had to admit that overall use wasn’t a metric they wanted to talk about.
It’s like how a small percentage of drinkers (the alcoholics) buy the vast amount of alcohol. Less people drinking is bad for the company, and a few alcoholics can’t sustain the company without being replaced by new addicts.
Edit:
Also, isn’t this literally a plot point from Silicon Valley?
Like, their desperation move to get funding at some point was handing out compute tokens, but the only people who wanted to buy it was their competitors because non of the companies had customers?
