Dub & AI: Copy-Trade Your Way to VC-Paid Delusion

Meanwhile, AI startups like Hedra raised $32 million to churn generative viral content, and luminaries like Emma Chamberlain and MrBeast are cashing in on venture capital. Tony Tran of Lumanu summed it up perfectly: 'My pitch is always why, what, how, and why now?' Guess that gets you millions while we mere mortals wonder why our emails stay unread. The startup pitch deck is the new battleground for million-dollar delusions.
