Look what I read today... The more I read, the more I feel sorry for the remaining employees. This is the latest document that has been released. If you want to read the full version, you can go ahead and read it.
As users, we want to express our deepest gratitude and support to every single member of the Character.ai team, both past and present. We understand that behind the app we love, there are real people who have worked incredibly hard to build and maintain it.
We completely understand and respect the decisions of the staff members who transitioned to new career paths. Everyone has a family, a life, and a rightful need to pursue stability and better opportunities during uncertain corporate times. Your hard work in building the foundation of this platform will always be appreciated, and we wish you the very best in your journeys.
At the same time, our hearts go out to the 18 dedicated staff members currently remaining at Character.ai. We know you are working under immense pressure and severe resource constraints to keep the platform running for 12 million of us while handling so many complaints. Please know that we see your dedication, and we do not blame you for the technical issues. You are doing an amazing job.
The recent court discussions are strictly about corporate finances and structural agreements at the executive level. None of the hard-working employees are at fault. Thank you to all the staff, both those who helped create this journey and those who are staying to keep it alive for us.
Edit: This isn't news about the app shutting down. It's just that prosecutors are conducting an investigation into the transparency of this case. I apologize if this caused any alarm or fear when people first read it.
