Does this even appeal to anyone? “We can automate the only part of consumer capitalism that’s any fun?” Seriously?
Billionaires have so much money they literally can’t spend it all. A bot could blow $100K on their behalf and they could laugh it off as a funny story.
They’ve worked very hard to divorce their fate from the fate of the general public, that has worked, and it shows in ways they don’t even perceive anymore. They don’t have any reason to look for good deals. This is strictly an imaginary scenario for little people, from their point of view.
I mean… Shopping for parts and materials is usually my least favorite part of any project, conceptually not having to deal with that sounds great if I didn’t have negative trust in the mechanism. If you find it fun, maybe we should team up!
I guess I would counter that the sort of project you have in mind isn’t likely to be part of what I’d call “consumer capitalism.” You’re building something as opposed to buying that thing.
