#12> with video messages of support from a clutch of celebrities released on Twitter the following month They really should charge more of these celebrities for endorsing pyramid schemes.
It is unclear how these messages of support were obtained, but all four celebrities are available to hire through the website Cameo, which allows people to pay high-profile individuals to read out a script for them, for anything from a birthday greeting to a business marketing video. The Norris “shout out” to HyperVerse states that “under the leadership of CEO Steven, HyperVerse will be the leader of metaverse space”…
it's crazy that Wozniak would participate in such a service. Is he running out of money?

It's a very low effort way for him to make money, $500 to record a 1-5 minute long personal video, or even more for "business" videos, $10k/video + $2,5k-$12,5k for license depending on duration

It appears to me that if you are part of a service where people can book you to say and advertise whatever they want, including scams, and you do absolutely no checking of what you say there, that sounds a lot like you are running a service for scammers, and "I didn't know what I said there" should not count as a good justification.

#15The article portrays this as a negative, but all I'm seeing is an innovative way to save on sky-high CEO cost. We've always dreamed of operating without and now we have, it seems like exactly the opposite reaction.
AI powered CEO? I love it already.

That's very cynical. What's the point of "fuck you" money if you still have to be a talking money and sell your reputation?

I think some just like making themselves available, but then you see a lot of the ones listed on Cameo that looks "cheap" at ~$100 or so are videos of an average length <2m. If you can make $100 whenever you're bored and have 2 minutes or can sit down and churn out 20 in less than an hour for $2k, you might be tempted even if you have decent amounts of money.

I know a lot of companies that could really tighten up their operations and balance sheet by adopting this strategy.

As much as I adore him, his hands are already dirty from participating in various BitCoin scams before.

except for the part where the company collapsed, so just maybe there's an argument to be made that there might be problems with this approach.
...I mean besides the obvious "running a crypto fund in a landscape where knowing what you're even doing is not a barrier to entry", of course.
