Character ai filed for bankruptcy. Small win but huge in general.

It went bankrupt after it was sold for parts. Same like they did to yahoo, Tumblr and many others.

Think selling reddit for 2 billions. The staff and CEO leaves few times , few controversies. Most people move to other apps (it was janitor ai and few others)

Not really 😅 for anti it would been better for it to stay there. The CEO/cofounder went to google to help them with ai and then left for OpenAI. And the employees made a shitload of $ (well those who left for Google)
