I clicked through like 15 of these and they were all pretty nonsensical. Not sure if this is more damning of tweets from VC's or the bot itself...
Haha I'm sure it's somewhere in the middle. Never said it was the smartest algorithm. If you hover over the VC's name, it'll show the actual tweet that was sampled.

You wouldn't happen to be from the La Cañada area of SoCal would you?

#65This is hilarious. Can we get a blog on how you built it?

#66VC twitter is excruciatingly cringe. I cannot imagine giving equity to these virtue signaling parrots.* The worst offenders are the people who - have never personally taken a company from zero to one (even worse: when they have internally taken a company from 1 to N, and think that qualifies them). - have a huge portfolio full of incremental companies - constantly talk about trends on Twitter - constantly talk about…

#70Okay, I've spent a little more time on this than I probably should have, but I think I realized something. The reason this works is mostly due to the VCs being generic in general. I've been reading the tweets they're based on and they're equally nonsense as the bot tweet. But bashing multiple tweets together, still produces something that's... coherent? I mean, yea, they're coherent. But it works because it lacks det…
Agreed. Most VCs are just that, useless sacks of breathing meat. For that reason, I've avoided them. Even during parties, I (unfairly) dismiss someone the moment I find out they are a VC and just invested in ...(insert famous tech here)... Based on personal experience, VCs are statistically more likely having a conversation with you thinking they are better than you the whole time (and therefore knows better). Not al…
