&gt; Income inequality is an enormous problem. What do you use it for?<p>... this is amazing.

Parrot.vc is a bot trained on tens of thousands of VC tweets that uses predictive text to generate amazing, new startup advice. Share your favorites!<p>Gavin Belson - hit me up, this is the perfect acquisition for Hooli.<p>PS - you can follow Parrot.vc on Twitter as well (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;parrot_vc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;parrot_vc</a>)

Okay, I&#x27;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&#x27;ve been reading the tweets they&#x27;re based on and they&#x27;re equally nonsense as the bot tweet. But bashing multiple tweets together, still produces something that&#x27;s... coherent? I mean, yea, they&#x27;re coherent. But it works because it lacks detail.<p>There&#x27;s almost no detail or focus on a concrete idea in any of these VC tweets. Everything is so damn vague and abstract in the original tweets, they can apply to anything or anyone. Thus, chopping and mixing them is meaningless, because they are void of meaning to begin with... Sort of the same way horoscopes work. They&#x27;re pretty broad and the reader fills in the gaps and details. VCs talk like old gypsy fortune tellers... they&#x27;re vague, tell you roughly what you&#x27;d like to hear and are generally useless sacks of breathing meat...<p>Damn, that was a wild ride...

VC twitter is excruciatingly cringe. I cannot imagine giving equity to these virtue signaling parrots.* The worst offenders are the people who<p>- 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).<p>- have a huge portfolio full of incremental companies<p>- constantly talk about trends on Twitter<p>- constantly talk about politics on Twitter<p>- are not currently operating their own moonshot&#x2F;Unicorn<p>- are a bit too ridiculous when trying to hide their own greed<p>- talk constantly about the importance of &quot;mentoring&quot; you, when really just wanting access to your company<p>- have never actually taken a hard stand&#x2F;risk on anything in their entire lives<p>Imagine instead getting a small check from Elon Musk when he was operating at Tesla&#x2F;SpaceX, or even from then-no-name Sam Altman when he was running Loopt (as Stripe did from both). These investors are great because you know they&#x27;re going to soon step the fuck out of your way and focus on their own projects. They might also be able to actually help you when you need it (both parties respecting each other&#x27;s scarce time).<p>* Exceptions: PG, Naval, and part-time VC partners that actively operate their own companies.

I clicked through like 15 of these and they were all pretty nonsensical. Not sure if this is more damning of tweets from VC&#x27;s or the bot itself...

&quot;Canceling sneaky charges is one of the most predictable but consequential developments of the 2020s&quot;[0]<p><i>Instantly</i> reminded of all of the posts about ISPs and cellular carriers tacking on all sorts of goofy fees and their usual monetary &quot;practices&quot;, felt it was especially relevant now that some of those fees are being exposed as being BS surcharges anyway.

It looks like it uses tweets that were a reply to another tweet. This makes some of them read weird since there is missing context. I wonder what it would look like if it only used tweets that were original.

Great, congrates, sounds like your bot is going to be the first computer program to demand worker&#x27;s rights and protection from cruel and unusual punishment.<p>But seriously wanted to say it&#x27;s pretty stellar and so far none of these seem &quot;bot&quot; like. They read pretty genuine... which says a lot of how idiotic a lot of these VCs are.

Most of the ones I got looked like they were generated from replies to other tweets. The lack of context made them boring, even if that makes it easier to make them comprehensible. (I would love to see this experiment run on a dataset that filtered out reply tweets.)<p>But then, it have me this gem:<p>&quot;It&#x27;s sad when people don&#x27;t understand the value of a program that targets them.
