The article is even more wack than the price for the domain. They want to launch a $99 necklace that listens to everything you say while it “forms its own thoughts” about it. Then instead of talking to you, it just texts you when IT “wants” (read: on a timer or based on a system prompt)
The monetization is a one-time $99, no subscription. That’s … suspicious from a privacy perspective.
Please note the title is misleading. The domain was sold for 1.8 million, but with a payment plan. So that 1.8 million gets spread out of a longer time. Sure some of the initial funding paid for it, but it's misleading to say it spent most of their funds.
Speak for yourself; I'm not going to read the article and just assume it's silly garbage based on comments and having seen a few garbage products in my day.
