> The sanctions didn't come from nowhere. I doubt most americans know where Iran is, let alone why we're sanctioning them.

What difference does that make? A lot of Americans are literally children. Some are household pets. What do you expect? This country is run by a government. They know where Iran is.

Re last sentence: not always.

They might be using Claude as a translation app and not realizing that the AI style stands out in English.

when AI is talking better than why shouldn't I use it?

That's exactly the use case I would go too (since I'm not native English) and while we have a technology now for this, people will straight away reject because LLM. Funny how we always wanted to connect the world and know it is just not compatible with the situation.

This whole thing is most likely just be a scam with a sob story. The urgency is the sob story: OP threw his life away to develop an AI avatar platform [1] and is supposedly in dire need urgent financial assistance. Better help him quick before you discover it’s a scam! OP is almost certainly exaggerating the amount of effort put into this platform. It’s an AI wrapper. Period. Scam. [1] Who needs an AI avatar? It is n…

please go to the website if you want to test the avatar https://neoclerks.com/en/ book a demo and as soon as it frees up you see the product by yourself I really have no idea why a lots of people are saying about scam is that happening a lot here?

lol, “book a demo” isn’t going to convince me you’re not scamming.

Your whole marketing page is all about fake luxury.

It’s like this guy I met at a bar in Miami who said he was going to start a company that was like Uber and Airbnb except more luxurious, and he showed me his website that was slapped together with stock images of mansions and Lamborghinis.

The AI concierge example is hilarious. Someone who is looking to book a Michelin starred restaurant at 3AM is rich enough to be staying at a hotel with 24/7 staff. If I go stay at a cheap motel it has 24/7 staff at the front desk. AI isn’t solving a problem there. Rich people never want to interact with an AI, they’re too rich for that. They hire a real person to do mundane and simple tasks for them.

It seems like at best you have a deep misunderstanding of your ideal customer and at worst you’re just looking for a get rich quick scheme.

And it’s an obvious social engineering scam. Urgency, pleading for empathy, having the most destitute-sounding story of all time. Did he really lose all his life savings to this project? How do we know that?

no lie my brother I do not now how to prove it, the story is not for empathy, but again if it was not the truce and it was real scam I think couldnt gain this much attention

Lots of scams gain attention. Sorry, I’m not convinced.

You can go sell your product to Russia, some Middle Eastern countries, and maybe even China.

If you want to do business with the West you literally need to defect and get political asylum.

It’s weird (and scammy) that in this entire thread you seem to be in denial of this reality.

> No, I'm not asking anyone to bypass sanctions. > I'm looking for a partner/co-founder OUTSIDE Iran who would: - Register a US/UK company (legally) - Open their own Stripe account (under their name/company) - I work as a remote contractor/technical co-founder (legal, like any distributed team) This is a clear and direct sanctions violation. What you are requesting is very illegal.

ChatGPT does not offer a clear indication that it is blatantly illegal, though the amount of legal risk is high enough that it might as well be .

ChatGPT isn't even a search engine, let alone a lawyer.
