Andrew Singleton Satirizes AI Economics
Original: Quoting Andrew Singleton
Simon Willison quotes Andrew Singleton’s satirical analogy for circular AI investment and revenue narratives.
Simon Willison highlights a passage from Andrew Singleton’s “AI Economics for Dummies,” a satirical piece about AI business logic. The excerpt uses a fictional crematorium and propane-company investment loop to mock inflated valuations, circular revenue, and credulous financial coverage. Willison adds no extended analysis beyond tagging the quote as AI-related commentary.
Simon Willison’s post is a brief quotation rather than a full essay. It points readers to Andrew Singleton’s satirical article, “AI Economics for Dummies,” and reproduces a short fictional scenario designed to lampoon how some AI investment stories can appear impressive while obscuring weak underlying economics.
