Pivoting to being AI grifters doesn't really help with the reputational allegations against them. Would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating.

Well the team isn't anymore qualified than anyone to do AI consulting so we'll see if they are successful at it. The IRS contract means nothing as there are 6 companies and counting in that contract and they have to compete on actual work and haven't seen any receipts yet for that. It's possible they didn't want to shut down the Codesmith brand so this is just like a holding company, shell/home for the briend. Will Sentance seems like he's completely moved on to physical AI, manufacturing plants in the mid-west, robot hackatons, Oxford Fellow, Stanford Fellow. Amazing how quickly he moved on from Codesmith and abandoned everything after personally making millions of dollars (based on court filling estimations) off of Codesmith. The sad problem is that out of the $50M Codesmith approximately/estimate made in pure student tuition, millions of that went into Will Sentance's pockets and the guy had gaul to call out the fact that my company is venture funded. I've made $0 since day 1 and put even more money into my company, meanwhile he has taken student tuition dollars directly into his pockets and his investors pockets, based on court fillings explanation of money flows, while portraying a holier-than-thou attitude.
