While cruising the streets a few decades from now in the janky time machine, I caught a whiff of freshly lab-grown, slow-roasted hot dogs. There was a convention nearby and the hot dog cart drones were out in full force. As I fumbled around for my crypto wallet to buy a delectable snack, I struck up a conversation with one of the conference goers.

She was wearing some fun pins and kindly gave me one to keep. She was attending the Greater Than festival of autonomous creativity, attended by former creative professionals cum AI maximalists. Most of them made their billions by coding 3 to 4 startups a day. These people wrote entire corporations from scratch, within hours, using AI tools and became the Avengers of startup bros.

My new friend was nice enough to buy my lab-grown dog and I’m thankful she did because I didn’t have enough BTC to pay for it.
