Apologies for missing it first time around!
Nifty, thanks!
@dgerard hey, I saw your bsky post and had an idea. Have you weighed in on Nscale and the UK’s sovereign scafolding reserve? I hope that it gets noticed by the wider public, because that shit is 10/10 hilarious.
It gets better! According to Trashfuture, Nscale never even bothered to buy the scaffolding yard, which is still in operation.

The wrong thing being “Believing that LLMs are trash is a mental disorder (not really but wink wink).”

IIUC, it looks like Delve lied to YC about stealing another company’s Apache 2.0 licensed slopware. This is appatently a bigger sin than selling a product that does fuck-all. I guess they weren’t tall enough for this ride.
Delve claims to offer “Compliance as a Service”
