@lidangzzz: The Pi project has descended into madness from its founders to its users, to the point that I can't comprehend it anymore. Any theory can be justified like an idiot, such as agents don't need memory, tool calling must be minimalist, context doesn't need compression. Fallacies are everywhere, mental state…
Summary
The tweet criticizes the Pi project and its user base, accusing them of holding extreme theories such as AI agents not needing memory, tool calling being minimalist, and context not requiring compression, and compares it to the cryptocurrency scam Pi Network.

The Pi project has reached a level of delusion from its founders to its users that I can no longer comprehend.
Every absurd theory gets spun into some kind of twisted justification—like agents don’t need memory, tool calling must be overly simplistic, and context doesn’t need compression. Nonsense is flying everywhere, and their mental state seems comparable to Li Hongzhi’s.
I predict the entire Pi ecosystem will soon surpass the infamous crypto scam, Pi Network.
