        FAQ says

        Jack Dorsey doesn’t own Divine, although he has provided funding through a grant from And Other Stuff (AOS). He holds no equity and has no ownership. He supports projects like Divine to advance open protocols without VC-led, extractive business models.

        I guess it was important enough to point out.

        (just quoting for context; I can’t say anything about the claim)

          i also love how the link on this part of the bbc website:

          Divine’s website FAQs, external outlines several ways for the platform to ensure all videos on the app are human-made, without AI involvement.

          had “?utm_source=chatgpt.com” in the link; we see you bbc editors
