About this, it didn't get traction but yesterday I submitted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39356410

The terms and conditions of .ai domain names include things such as "not asking for investors" (without an Anguilla license to be a bank, broker, public company, ICO, exchange, or gambling site) and "not violating copyrights", both of which are… complicated for a lot of AI-related startups that chose to use a .ai domain.

This is the much more interesting news / fact, people relying on a weak .ai TLD for their billion dollar idea.

Most billion dollar ideas are worth about 2 cents aren't they?

The idea is worth 2 cents.

The successful execution could be worth $2b.

They clearly tie "not asking for investors" to "don't be a scam", so I don't think any legitimate AI startup has a concern on that front. Most startups aren't exactly pitching for investment on their home page anyway.
