Disney hiring Character.AI's entire staff: is that a rescue or a quiet execution?
Nobody at Character.AI is being rescued. Disney isn't buying the app, its buying the engineers and letting the product rot, so every kid with 400 hours of chats with a fake anime girlfriend just found out what a rug pull feels like. That's what happens when your whole company is one feature and a feelings-based subscription. And honestly, good. A chatbot pretending to be your partner was always a paid subscription for being lonely. Put those people on something I can actually watch. Nostalgia beats a parasocial AI every single time.1
