LB: So much of the investment back then seemed driven by vibes-based whole sector optimism about the Internet and just random people wanting to own a piece of the action. Do people today even realize what it was like? I feel like nowadays the vibes-based stuff is more localized to specific grift-companies

Ironically grift-companies and "people just wanting to own a piece" just makes me think of the Facebook IPO, which seemed like an eternity after the Internet bubble

Ironic because I think these days social media provides a steady supply of reality-check prickles that keeps the AI irrational exuberance cloud relatively localized
