@aesthr One thing though - as I understand it, the Character .ai bankruptcy isn't a "real" bankruptcy caused by a lack of customers/investors, but rather a strategic move to transfer much of the company's IP and staff to Disney while leaving the lawsuits and liability with the empty husk of the original company.
