Can anyone explain what the hell is going on?

It’s true because no one ever lied on the internet. 4chan is the boss of the interweb and they will confirm it.
yes, I can explain. an actress named milla jovovich created a new way for AI to store memories. this was made possible by the fact that celebrities are not just pretty/handsome faces, and can be talented in things other than acting.
Hedy Lamarr has entered the chat…

I don’t think it’s all that easy to become a famous actor.
You’re well on your way already.
It’s flawed and sketchy anyway.

What tech “breakthrough” claim on IG and GH these days isn’t? 🫣
Certainly seems to be a grift:

Capitalism?
Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.
Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.
In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it’s just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.
I’d like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it’s just doesn’t seem to be as true as it used to be.
Edit:
This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:

If these grifts aren’t obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.
It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.

Then she was paid to slap her name on it…
Another thing that’s not new.
Look at her GitHub account, this is the only thing it’s ever done, and she’s never, ever, talked about any sort of coding before as far as I’m aware.
It’s still an obvious grift/scam, regardless of if she’s involved.
Like, it’s clearly an add, what the fuck is she doing “extensive filing for months” for?
How does any of this seem organic to you?

At this juncture it’s become impossible for me to take these as serious questions/comments.
If you were being sincere, I hope someone else with more patience assists you.

The age old question for every pro AI/crypto post on social media:
It’s always one of the two
I don’t know what world you’re living in but it isn’t Earth
The same reason any other rich, out of touch person does anything, the quest for more money and/or recognition.
It ain’t like Hollywood is paying very well anymore and her main gig was what, one franchise? Mmmhm.
In her video she says she was the architect and her friend Ben was the engineer. To me that reads as “I came up with an idea and told my friend who did all the heavy lifting to make it work. Then we realized that in our current culture no one would listen without a recognizable face attached to it, so I’m telling you about it now.”
Also, why is instagram showing the video as posted by her and a dude who seems to do videos warning people about scams? It’s been forever since I’ve been on IG and I couldn’t get much farther than that without logging in.
This seems like the most likely explanation.
The “memory palace” (AKA method of loci) is a plausible inspiration for someone with a non-technical background, and there’s evidence that it’s closer to how the brain actually indexes memories natively. (Although my understanding is that it bootstraps the hippocampus’s hard-wired ability to remember the layout of physical locations—I don’t know that an LLM would have a similar ability out of the box.)

“She’s a girl, she can’t be smart or a nerd!”
Does GitHub have some sort of facial recognition login to make sure that no one is logging in as someone else?
This was not on my bingo card.
A Celebrity Does A Grift.
This happens a lot.
In crypto, it usually goes like this: Celebrity makes a coin. Uses fans goodwill to make them buy in. Coin gets rugpulled (oh no!) as in the celebrity and their tech friend cash out and leave the fans with a dead coin worth 1% of what they paid.
The celebrity will then say they were flimflammed. Fooled. Duped. Tricked. Teary apology. Very sad. Victim like you and me. Very also kept the advance $50k from the tech people. Also kept the cash they got from rugpulling. Don’t ask about that.
This is weird to see, given I just finished watching all the Resident Evil movies the other night.
Should’ve been watching The Fifth Element, instead. It’s all there. 🤩🤌🏼
I believe Jovovich’s character in the movie Two Moon Junction was also big into new AI memory techniques, so this works.
