It's on her bio of Instagram, plus a video of her talking about it.

Her Instagram is old, unless someone hacked it.

yes, I can explain. an actress named milla jovovich created a new way for AI to store memories. this was made possible by the fact that celebrities are not just pretty/handsome faces, and can be talented in things other than acting.

Or actors can just easily farm some good money then stop working for a few years while focus 100% on other things that an average Joe who need to work daily to not starve cant.

I don't think it's all that easy to become a famous actor.

I don't think

You're well on your way already.

It's true because no one ever lied on the internet. 4chan is the boss of the interweb and they will confirm it.

But it's on her bio of Instagram, plus a video of her talking about it.

Her Instagram is old, unless someone hacked it to change the bio.

In her video she says she was the architect and her friend Ben was the engineer. To me that reads as “I came up with an idea and told my friend who did all the heavy lifting to make it work. Then we realized that in our current culture no one would listen without a recognizable face attached to it, so I’m telling you about it now.”

Also, why is instagram showing the video as posted by her and a dude who seems to do videos warning people about scams? It’s been forever since I’ve been on IG and I couldn’t get much farther than that without logging in.

This seems like the most likely explanation.

The “memory palace” (AKA method of loci) is a plausible inspiration for someone with a non-technical background, and there’s evidence that it’s closer to how the brain actually indexes memories natively.

(Although my understanding is that it bootstraps the hippocampus’s hard-wired ability to remember the layout of physical locations—I don’t know that an LLM would have a similar ability out of the box.)

I think it's weird that all the technical comments are being made on her name, she's answering GitHub technical issues and not the other guy who supposedly did it.

Does GitHub have some sort of facial recognition login to make sure that no one is logging in as someone else?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.

Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.

In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it's just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.

I'd like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it's just doesn't seem to be as true as it used to be.

Edit:

This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:

Ben Sigman is an AI agent orchestrator, systems engineer, author, and Bitcoin advocate. He builds AI-powered products and agent systems, including XAVIOR — an AI operating system running 10 custom fine-tuned models — and the open source memory system mempalace.

He conceived and leads Libre, Bitcoin’s first decentralized two-way lending marketplace, and is the bestselling co-author of Bitcoin One Million, ranked #1 in Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, and Bitcoin categories. He is also the co-creator of Bitcoin Alpha, the invite-only Bitcoin unconference series.

Ben designed the giant orange shark sculpture, “Apex Predator of Money” — a bold symbol proposed as Bitcoin’s new mascot as featured in Decrypt.

With over 20 years in technology, his work spans AI agents, Bitcoin, and open finance.

If these grifts aren't obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.

It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.

What tech "breakthrough" claim on IG and GH these days isn't? 🫣

A Celebrity Does A Grift.

This happens a lot.

In crypto, it usually goes like this: Celebrity makes a coin. Uses fans goodwill to make them buy in. Coin gets rugpulled (oh no!) as in the celebrity and their tech friend cash out and leave the fans with a dead coin worth 1% of what they paid.

The celebrity will then say they were flimflammed. Fooled. Duped. Tricked. Teary apology. Very sad. Victim like you and me. Very also kept the advance $50k from the tech people. Also kept the cash they got from rugpulling. Don't ask about that.

This is weird to see, given I just finished watching all the Resident Evil movies the other night.
