Another AI startup getting millions while the rest of us can't afford a house. Great stuff.
Cope. At least someone's putting NZ on the map.
Exactly. Meanwhile I'm grinding away for a fraction of that. Ffs.
Worked in AI for years, and honestly, this hype bubble is gonna burst. But hey, at least some Kiwis are making bank off it.
$529m? For what exactly? An app that talks to you? I'll stick with my rotary phone thanks.
It's for making movies and stuff? Some tool for creators. Still, crazy money.

Amazing what Kiwis can achieve when they get overseas backing. Good on him!
your rotary phone is probably worth more than this AI shite.
Can we get some of that money for our schools and hospitals instead of another chatbot?
As a student studying comp sci, this is inspiring. But also terrifying because AI might take my future job lol.
same, I'm terrified but also kinda excited haha. Hopefully there'll still be jobs for us.
Yeah nah, get stuffed. Just another way for the rich to get richer.
