TL;DR Andreessen Horowitz, the top venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, has invested billions into explicitly amoral startups such as:
– Doublespeed, a startup aiming to „replace human creators with AI“, by selling access to „phone farms“ that get around social media platforms‘ anti-fraud algorithms, allowing companies to buy bots that game engagement metrics
– Cluely, the startup that wants you to „cheat at everything“, whose founder wants you to use „undetectable“ AI to cheat on exams, homework, job interviews, dates, and more
– Coverd, which is pursuing a novel form of gambling that allows users to bet on their bills
– AI companionship startups like CharacterAI, Civitai, and Ex-Human, with a [June 2023 a16z blog post](https://a16z.com/its-not-a-computer-its-a-companion/) quoting a user hoping that „One day [AI] will be better than a real [girlfriend.“
I knew Andreessen had a messed up world view but didn’t think he’d be this dystopian.

Blaming this imbecile on societal ills is akin to blaming a dealer for gambling / drug addiction. Nobody is holding a gun to your head – you’re free to ignore YES that is a choice.

It’s important to have a moral base regardless but when actions influence millions it’s paramount. Our system doesn’t penalize that misalignment directly so sharing information like this is essential. Thanks OP.

The firm has also invested eye-popping amounts of money into deregulation, including launching the $100 million super-PAC [Leading the Future](https://fortune.com/2025/08/26/openai-president-greg-brockman-andreessen-horowitz-super-pac-ai-pro-innovation/) in August 2025 which runs attack ads against politicians who support AI regulation.
This was discussed on HackerNews today and I was interested in seeing Reddit’s take: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49416055](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49416055)
