Startup AI za 1,5 miliarda. Kod pisało 700 ludzi

The story of Builder.ai is one of the most notorious failures of the AI ​​era. This startup promised a revolution: an assistant called Natasha, who would build ready-made applications without programmers, as simple as ordering a pizza. Microsoft, Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, and SoftBank believed it, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the company and valuing it at $1.5 billion. And then it all came crashing down. Creditors seized their accounts, the company declared bankruptcy, and the world heard the hard-to-believe punch line: the AI ​​acquired by the biggest tech players turned out to be largely human. Real engineers, writing code by hand behind a curtain. In this episode, we dissect the anatomy of the AI ​​era's fraud: the promise of magic, a warning ignored six years before the collapse, inflated revenues, and a bill ultimately issued by very real people. This isn't a movie about gullible customers. This is a film about selling the market a story that's more beautiful than its books. It's also about a question the industry still can't answer.
