I, for one, am a believer that ideas are a dime a dozen.
I actually had my idea stolen, by a better funded company (yes it involved AI). But that made me even more of a believer.
Even though this other company had far more engineers & was able to replicate a seemingly copycat product after I refused their buyout offer, their execution sucked(which was a key reason I refused, rather die broke than work for a company that think engineers need daily beatings to be exploited properly by great “business” minds)
However, they were VC backed & their board made them shut the product down and we ended up getting all the customers they brought on in the copycat product.
The people behind AIGrant.org have solid geek creds & given their backgrounds can probably come up with more creative ideas than trying to scrape ideas off the web the offering large bounties.
What’s really awesome to witness is that here’s a coupe of geeks actually “executing” on their vision. I’m a little jealous because I should’ve stared something like this, but instead I’d rather just support AIGrant.org because building & executing even benevolent ideas take a ton of effort.
