Lore.Fm Sources for the company

For legal reasons this is all a statement of my opinion, if this phrasing confuses please see my previous post [here]

Another rapid fire post since in my opinion that is the best way to stop a company from an attempt they might make to step in and alter a narrative.

WishRoll

WishRoll on the 2024 30 Under 30 - Consumer Technology - WishRoll Inc is the maker of Kiwi, a music sharing app that has 2 million downloads

This company, of five people, are as far [this thread can figure] the group behind lore.fm.

They are on Forbes 30 under 30.

The Forbes article above also specifies that they are certified on the ethereum block chain. In my opinion and to my knowledge we in the fandom space aren't large fans of crypto currency, nfts, etc. In my opinion and based on my limited prior experience I don't trust this app, after learning this information, to not scrape data or use it to train a model. In my opinion any involvement with crypto currency or ai models makes someone untrustworthy when they enter into the fandom space as a company.

💀💀💀💀 I'd been seeing jokes about the FTX collapse like "Michael Lewis has already sold the film rights" but I didn't realize he was actually already behind the scenes like a grim reaper djafldjafdlkj

I was more forgiving at the start when less was known but I’ve been seeing more and more supposedly anarchist leaning artists and people I know getting into NFTs and how? Have you not been paying attention to what’s been going on with these things in the last year?

Obviously there’s the nonsense techno future speak about it, but I wonder if a lot of it can be chalked up to a lack of education about scams generally, or how the fine art world works. Or just?? Ah

I’m so far from the NFT is good mindset to see any value in the but g o d why would you think these things are so radical and breaking from the norm when one of the biggest companies trying to normalise them is fuckin Ubisoft

NFTs of Virtua Fighter characters, with Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki overseeing their creation, are available on Oasys.

I was about to make some post about NFTs and AI art conglomerating into some unholy discoursezilla.

But the I remember it kinda sorta already happened with the Voiceverse/15 debacle

...so here's my impression of what happened in the Kickstarter Management office back in December.
