How are these worth $100k?

I assume non-failed companies are selling as well. And I guess there’s lots of irc scraping going on.

It's like low-background radiation steel. There's a finite amount of information out there that's not ai garbage, and the percentage of scrapeable information that isn't tainted grows smaller by the moment.

I imagine this trend will continue, and the price will go up.
