Why can't he get funding and support? (xcancel.com)

Because as someone said in the thread that in two years the LLM will just read the docs and produce perfect Bend code.

The sad reality of VC funding right now is that they aren't looking for 'better languages,' they're looking for 'AI-native moats. If a project's value can be automated away by a 2-year-future LLM, it's a hard sell for them.

IIRC he got $millions in funding.

What does he need more funding for? How would he “native train” models to write Bend? Why is said method better than (as others say) the bitter lesson?
