Thanks @ryandrake from HN:
Best I can interpret is it’s two separate products: One is a virtual person for “creators” to generate: it impersonates them, writes messages to fans on their behalf, and tricks their “audience” into believing it’s the real thing, and the second is a virtual friend that you can create and then have a parasocial relationship with.
Surprisingly apt.
Insane. So many web devs have used this CDN tooling in the past.
The article is not about that, the article is about essentially scam fundraisers, where 90% of the money goes to fundraisers and 10% covers administrative cost of the “charity”.
Real charities are usually transparent about the percentage of money they dedicate to the started cause. They dedicate somewhere between 75% and 90% of the money they raise to the purpose they serve.
Sternly looking at you, Nextcloud Markdown Editor.
