    FAQ says

    Jack Dorsey doesn’t own Divine, although he has provided funding through a grant from And Other Stuff (AOS). He holds no equity and has no ownership. He supports projects like Divine to advance open protocols without VC-led, extractive business models.

    I guess it was important enough to point out.

    (just quoting for context; I can't say anything about the claim)

    oh fair point.

    i also love how the link on this part of the bbc website:

    Divine's website FAQs, external outlines several ways for the platform to ensure all videos on the app are human-made, without AI involvement.

    had "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" in the link; we see you bbc editors

    Not looking to come off a dorsey hugger but surely he's one of the better guys in club evil? And did he enshit twitter that much?

    Genuine questions as I have very little actual knowledge on the subject. Never used any of his products afaik.
