One of the more fucked up business models I’ve seen.

If you search for support groups, you’ll see thousands of people being outed in anonymous recovery meeting, grief groups, etc. Disgusting.

I hope these guys get sued to hell.

The link sent Rademacher to a page on WebinarTV.us which featured a full recording of the Zoom recording, an AI-generated video summary of the meeting, “chapters” that sent the viewers to different parts of the meeting, and an AI-generated episode of the “Phil & Amy Show,” in which two AI-generated personalities discuss the content of the call, including quips and rapport between Phil and Amy.

So their business model is to steal other people's meetings and add an overlay of shit? I hope it fails miserably for them.

I hope it fails miserably for them.

That's not how they think about it. It's 100% automated, running on generic hardware. If even .1% of targeted customers fall for it far enough to create revenue it's a success. Just keep it spinning. They aren't interested in the morals of it at all.

The real problem is that whatever country they operate from does not shut them down immediately, then send the owners/creators to jail.
